2009 Volkswagen Tiguan

Jan 05 2009

The 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan handled really well. It escaped the slippery slope that is my driveway with ease; it turned through snow-covered corners as though the road were clear and dry. During my test drive with the Tiguan, we had snow, sleet and rain, and I can honestly say that I didn’t feel the car slip once.


2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320

Dec 30 2008

Even though it’s fuel-efficient and has cleaner emissions, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz ML320 is still a luxury vehicle. She’d spare nothing to prove it, as evidenced by the beautiful leather seats, wood-inlaid panels and more features than you can handle.


2008 Kia Sorento

Nov 28 2008

The Kia Sorento fit in like one of the family at our house. It was a casual, no-frills kind of ride that we didn’t need to “front” for. It was also obviously hard-working, with its 4x4 capabilities and high ground clearance.


2009 Ford Escape XLT

Nov 25 2008

The 2009 Ford Escape is a tidy, simple SUV with few amenities. It knows you’re going elsewhere for the fun, but that you need a way to get there. And it does its job just fine.


2009 Subaru Forester

Sep 11 2008

2009 Subaru Forester

In the 2009 Forester, Subaru has made an effort to appeal to the granola-light consumer who wants to have as much convenience and style as possible in a car that delivers good gas mileage, value pricing and the ability to get out of the ’burbs at a moment’s notice.


2008 Toyota 4Runner

Sep 10 2008

2008 Toyota 4Runner

The ’09 Toyota 4Runner is a testosterone-loaded, V-8, 4x4 super truck that just happens to work pretty well as a kid-hauler.


2008 BMW X6

Aug 25 2008

2008 BMW X6

I’ve heard some industry insiders and journalists poke fun at the 2008 BMW X6 (a brand-new model this year). But I think the X6 is just misunderstood. Let me say that, for me, the X6 is a terrific blend of sports car and mom-mobile.


2008 Toyota RAV4

Aug 11 2008

2008 Toyota RAV4

The 2008 Toyota RAV4 bugged me. It bugged me in the same way that the perfect-looking mom from my kids’ school bothers me. You might know her, she never leaves the house without her makeup on or her hair dried and styled.


2008 Land Rover Range Rover

Jul 08 2008

2008 Land Rover Range Rover

I didn’t take the 2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE off-road, and I don’t feel bad about that because you wouldn’t take it off-road either. Oh sure, you might drive it over a slightly banked dirt road, but you’ll never take it into the wilderness.


2008 BMW X3

Jul 01 2008

2008 BMW X3

Part of the fun of test-driving cars is they’re a mystery upon first encounter. But the 2008 BMW X3 is one car that I never completely figured out. So how’s a busy mom-on-the-go going to deal with this problem?
