I have some favorite words that I like to use whenever I have the chance: Bloviate, myopic, psyched (yes, I know that dates me), segue and Nerf. What does one of my favorite words have to do with the 2007 Toyota RAV4?
This vehicle has steadfastly delivered me from a state of frazzled cabin fever into a world of motoring bliss, transporting myself and my children to a nearby Center for Rejuvenation Therapy (mall) for a decompression remedy (shopping) and body movement treatments (wide open spaces without crowds for the kids to run around like maniacs).
This past fall, the Pope was given a Volvo XC90 for his official transportation. I keep telling myself that even though I’m not a VIP (holy or otherwise), I’m sure I will fit in the XC90 just fine. Hey, if it’s good enough for the Pope ...
My kids can keep a box of wipes in the massive rear console for cleaning up after themselves (what a concept), and some drawing supplies to keep them occupied. Speaking of keeping kids occupied, the rear seat entertainment system’s remote control is cleverly hidden in the overhead console and can be removed, which makes it much easier for the kids to lose… I mean use.
The Santa Fe is all grown up, slenderized, sophisticated, sleek and gorgeous. I’m a little jealous, to tell you the truth, and I think that means I’m spending way too much time with cars.
I’ve been waiting for a car to come along that is chic enough to look good on those moms among us who we all want to be. You know, the moms that look fab running errands, wearing denim with grape juice stains for the third day in a row and pulling it off with the utmost panache. This fantasy car of mine must be designed and engineered by someone clever, someone in the know, a genius or savant possibly, or better yet - a parent.
The Toyota Sequoia is not very gas-friendly (unless you happen to own Shell Oil, in which case it’s quite friendly and everyone should own four). Plenty of positive qualities exist, too.
Between the pack-n-play, the stroller, the kiddie backpack and all of the other rubbish, there is usually very little space for me. But not so this weekend! As I pack for a ladies only holiday SANS KIDLETS, the Yukon XL allows me to indulge in a former bad habit: over-packing. Why only bring 2 pair of shoes when I can easily get away with 4?
I welcome the optional Reverse Sensing feature in the Ford Expedition, but would feel much more at ease with a back-up camera, to keep this big vehicle in check! And when I say big, I also refer to its appetite for gasoline. While driving, I have to make a concerted effort not to keep staring at the rapidly dropping gas gauge.
The Outlander is actually designed for, and geared towards, college-age males. But really, Mitsubishi could come up with a Mom Package and the Outlander would do very well.
