I took a chance on the 2009 Honda Pilot and discovered a soft heart buried beneath its sharp edges. Just like the frog prince, the 2009 Pilot’s appearances can be deceiving. In the hopes that a fairy godmother will descend with a fabulous makeover, I hereby rename this midsize SUV “Truckarella.”
They say the only things you can count on are death and taxes. Well, I’d like to add a few things to that list: Levis, ice cream, diet Dr. Pepper, my tragically frizzy hair and the 2008 Honda Pilot.
I don’t know why I’m continually surprised by the quality of Hyundai vehicles. Whatever the cause, for some reason I am pleasantly surprised every time I drive a new Hyundai, and the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe was no exception.
I have a collection of clothing items that I purchased for fabulously small prices that, as it turns out, is a testament to bad deals. As one of the lowest-priced midsize SUVs on the market, Suzuki’s XL7 will fit perfectly into my collection.
Honda’s new marketing campaign for the CR-V calls it “something new to CRaVe.” Well, I think they may as well just call it an addiction. Once this little SUV got into my system, I just couldn’t walk away.
One of my guilty pleasures is watching shows like “The Biggest Loser” and “Celebrity Fit Club.” Toward the end of each season, the losers inevitably strap on weights of some sort to simulate the pounds they’ve lost, and I thought of that moment when I drove the 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser.
When I was little, my dad carried a red Swiss Army knife in his pocket. Every time he whipped that knife out it revealed a new feature I’d never seen before. The Dodge Journey is just like that knife.
There’s a movie called “Highlander” that came out in the ‘80s and is about these crazy sword-wielding dudes who try to kill each other in order to do something or another. It might not be high on my list, but it has a lot of fans out there. Trust me; multiple guys have asked me how I liked the 2008 Toyota Highlander, then repeated this line from the movie: “There can be only one.”
I grew up with a truck-based SUV called a Scout. It was far from comfy, but totally fun and a major challenge to drive. My mother-in-law had one, and she often said you just had to “herd it down the road.” The Dodge Durango is a modern-day Scout.
Suzuki’s Grand Vitara is pleasant enough to drive, and pleasure becomes relative once price enters the mix. If you’re part of a family of four that’s looking for functionality AND great value, this SUV might just have you shouting for joy.
