The 2008 Acura TL Type-S didn’t rock my world. While the car performed relatively well, there were too many things that disqualified it from being my perfect mommy-mobile.
I used to think of hybrid vehicles in a “Jetsons” sort of way. By now, my hybrid IQ has grown so much I can tell you why the Chevy Malibu Hybrid isn’t exactly what most people think of when they imagine a hybrid car.
I tested a 2006 Acura TSX a couple years ago that was a great little car for young kids in convertible car seats. The 2009 I tested recently, however, was my arch nemesis now that my kids are in boosters.
Maybe I’m just slow on the uptake, but Volkswagens are much nicer cars than I thought. The VWs of my youth were affordable little cars for hippies and folks who couldn’t afford anything nicer. They were loud and smoky and good only as an excuse for punching my little brother in “Slug Bug.” The 2008 Jetta makes all of that a vague, distant memory.
Some cars are marketed toward families and women, and some are not. The Toyota Avalon falls into the latter category. I hate to sound all gender-centric, but this is a perfectly nice car that’s made absolutely no effort to appeal to my demographic.
If you had an extra $90k burning a hole in your pocket, what would you do with it? Forget about being responsible; how about something totally fun and just for you? How about a nicely equipped Audi A8 to make all the other carpooling mamas insanely envious?
Love is always in the air on Valentine’s Day, and this year my romance came in the form of some hot, sexy muscle. No, this isn’t a trashy grocery store novel, it’s the Audi RS 4 — a sport sedan built to sweep a girl off her feet.
This car slyly glanced my way with long-lashed cat-eye headlights, and I only hesitated a moment, admiring her understated feminine lines, before definitively deciding she’s a gal.
My husband loves those ginormous Chinese buffets that offer miles upon miles of gleaming, steaming cuisine. I, however, know that no matter how much I load on my plate, I will come away unsatisfied. That’s not unlike driving a Mazda6.
As I pulled away from Mother Proof’s Global Headquarters I was pleasantly surprised with the SX4’s ability to perform in the snow. The front-wheel drive easily pulled this little sedan from the stop sign with no wheel spin. About two days into the drive I pronounced it the “Suzuki Snow Cat.”
