Review of the 2006 Audi A6

2006 Audi A6 - 6/06/06

MSRP: $40,820 - $53,770 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 21 City

From the moment I open the door to the Audi A6 I am in love. The doors are solid and close with a very satisfying whoosh and then click. I don’t have to fumble with the key to gain entry — when I approach the door it senses the fob and unlocks the door for me. The “Advanced Key” never leaves my cute new summer handbag!


Review of the 2006 Hyundai Azera

2006 Hyundai Azera - 5/30/06

MSRP: $24,335 - $26,835 | MPG: 28 Hwy, 19 City

My first Hyundai outing years ago with a college buddy left lots to be desired…I’m not sure who was tackier, the car or the acquaintance. As I enter this new vehicle I am surprised and stunned at the collection of features squeezed into the Azera, and begin to look at Hyundai in a whole new light.


Review of the 2006 Acura TSX

2006 Acura TSX - 5/08/06

MSRP: $27,890 - $27,890 | MPG: 30 Hwy, 22 City

It needs to be said that I’m a sucker for a brrrrright, hot red car. My inclination is to keep one eye on the speedometer and one eye on the on the side of the road where a trooper is bound to see me coming from another hemisphere. I go 5 mph under the speed limit because I’m certain Milano Red will register higher on any radar.


Review of the 2006 Lexus ES 350

2007 Lexus ES 350 - 4/16/06

MSRP: $33,470 - $33,470 | MPG: 30 Hwy, 21 City

I’ll tell y’all somethin’. Lexus ain’t messin’ around anymore. Maybe y’all already know that (What? OK, I’ll drop the twang.) Lexus has really defined itself as its own brand and style, and its new ES350 is a prime example.


Review of the 2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed6

2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed6 - 3/06/06

MSRP: $27,995 - $29,925 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 20 City

The candy-apple red metallic paint job on my test car isn’t something I would normally write about, but girlfriends, this car has some serious bling. Everyone who sees me near this car comments on the “velocity red” paint — it is beautiful.


Review of the 2006 Honda Civic

2006 Honda Civic - 2/13/06

MSRP: $14,560 - $24,440 | MPG: 32 Hwy, 30 City

My daughter is very concerned with fairness. Imagine the challenge when I load the kids up in the Civic and there is a pocket on the back of the passenger seat where her brother is sitting and none behind the driver’s seat where she is sitting. She nearly comes to tears until I point out that she doesn’t actually have anything to put in the pocket.


Review of the 2006 Mercury Milan

2006 Mercury Milan - 2/07/06

MSRP: $18,345 - $22,845 | MPG: 29 Hwy, 23 City

There is no manual trunk release actually on the trunk, leaving me fumbling for the release button on my key fob. Another option is to place the key in the trunk lock to open it. Who does that anymore? That seems almost as antiquated as turning a hand crank to open windows (don’t worry, the Milan does offer power windows).


Review of the 2006 Kia Spectra

2006 Kia Spectra - 1/30/06

MSRP: $12,895 - $15,995 | MPG: 33 Hwy, 25 City

With a manual transmission I need another pair of hands just to take a sip of my morning coffee. It seems that each time my phone rings or the children need me I am also in the midst of shifting. Holy distracted driver, Batman!


Review of the 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid

2006 Honda Civic Hybrid - 1/16/06

MSRP: $22,150 - $22,150 | MPG: 51 Hwy, 49 City

Shrinking forests, global warming, melting ice caps, polluted oceans…yikes! Pregnant mommies can’t even eat fish in good conscience anymore, and coupled with all the other “don’t eat items,” why not just hand moms-to-be, a bucket of pills in lieu of food altogether.


Review of the 2006 Saturn Ion

2006 Saturn Ion - 1/09/06

MSRP: $11,925 - $19,425 | MPG: 30 Hwy, 26 City

Saturn says the Ion is “Nimble, yet powerful.” While it gets up to speed just fine, I would not consider it nimble. It feels stiff (not in a cool, tight, sporty way but in a hard, unforgiving bumper-car-at-the-amusement-park sort of way).
