The Hyundai Veracruz is a budget-esque crossover masquerading as a luxury one. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that the Veracruz is almost as nice (and in some respects even nicer) than the Lexus RX — for a base price of more than $10K lower. Meowwww!
I have discovered the outer limits of extreme sports for parents: Extreme Camping. Not for the faint of heart, this sport involves camping in tents with an entire class of kindergarteners. I swallowed my reservations and loaded up the Mazda CX-9 with our tent, sleeping bags and my son’s enormous backpack, which literally towers over him by a foot.
The “dead pedal” in most cars is a somewhat uncomfortable place to rest your foot if you wear high heels. Well, the interior designers of the GMC Acadia thought about this tiny detail and placed a notch at the bottom that will accommodate all but the chunkiest of heels.
I have a secret to confess: I have a crush on the Range Rover. Although it’s not the best vehicle choice for families with young children, it does have a certain seductive appeal. Infatuations do tend to make us blind to major annoyances, don’t they? I guess that would be called compromise.
For me, a thin, slightly crunchy layer of chocolate over a smallish marshmallow bunny shape is perfect; not too much of either ingredient. Judging the design of a car’s interior is similar to considering the proportions of chocolate to marshmallow in a marshmallow bunny.
I live in a neighborhood cloned straight from Wisteria Lane, where Honda Pilots and Toyota Siennas reign supreme, and I honestly have nightmares about turning into one of them (the neighbors I mean, not the cars — that would just be plain weird). Anything I can do to set myself apart from the Stepford neighbors is a good thing, and my vehicle is the perfect place to start.
This iDrive system is used to control the navigation (as well as communications, entertainment and climate) and is nothing less than a complete pain in the a@#. Its multifunction knob requires the dexterity of a highly evolved primate (or my 5-year-old son) to make it work properly.
Although the finish inside the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is nice and fairly upscale, the exterior styling of the Highlander Hybrid is remarkably unremarkable. The Highlander’s styling hasn’t evolved much since its introduction to the market. Evolution is such a necessary process. Without it, I’d be sitting here for months chiseling this review into a piece of slate using nothing more than my teeth and a porcupine quill.
The Navigator boasts what must be the largest, brightest grille ever: cha-ching. Other than it being just a smidge pretentious, I like the way it looks. It is distinctive, stylish and decidedly Lincoln. Discreet, however, it is not.
I do enjoy spending some time in a larger SUV. It’s kind of like going to stay with someone whose house is bigger than yours: It’s nice to spread out, but I wouldn’t want to clean it. Or pay for it. So, in that sense, I really enjoy the Armada.
