Here is a piece of advice: Do not, I repeat, do not go out of the house in anything resembling sweats when you are driving Toyota’s new FJ Cruiser. This car is a man magnet! Literally every time I pull into a gas station men would saunter over and ask me, “How do you like the FJ?” or “Cool car, what is it?”
The Tahoe has certainly evolved and changed over the years to reflect more about its true modern drivers: Women. Practical features are being added quicker than Chevy can say ‘who’s your momma?’ with the exception of a major one that I’ll get into later.
Namibia, Zambia, Tanzania…The Range Rover stirs up notions of adventure travel through Africa’s rolling savannahs. Instead of spying lions, elephants, and rhinos however, I am on a quest to keep my little cubs delirious with fun while minimizing their path of destruction.
The two cup holders in the front seat are too big for a standard travel mug or water bottle. My cup never actually tumbles out, but it does dance around like a dashboard hula girl. Despite my disappointment in the utility of the front cup holders, I am impressed that the total number of cup holders in this small wonder is a whopping 10, with the optional third row seat.
There are people out there who are big lovers of the BMW brand. It seems they fall into two categories: people who appreciate the upscale brand image, or people who appreciate the “driving experience.” There are several BMW’s that I’m in love with for their innovative family friendly features. The X3, however, isn’t one of them.
I had a preconceived notion about what I would find when I drove the Hyundai Tucson. My thoughts were not very flattering; they mostly had to do with being cheap. I am pleased to say that I was totally off-base.
I know that I’m not the only parent out there, who drives the kids around just to keep the peace. So you see, my car is much more than just a means of transportation. It is an extension of my home.
The large amount of cargo space is unexpected. I make a run to Costco for a plastic dog house, a case of oranges, three gallons of milk and more. I seriously think I might need to call in reinforcements. Happily, after some creative packing, I get the door shut without having to tie the kids to the roof. Yipee!
I appreciate the clearly labeled windshield wiper control. Since I drive a new car every week, I’m always confused by the windshield wipers. Do I twist them, push them, pull them or shake them all about, then do the hokey pokey to get the wiper fluid out?
The highlight of the Forester is the plastic insert that protects the cargo floor. I load my obnoxiously muddy stroller without a care. Later in the day, I remove the plastic insert, douse it with the garden hose, and “voila” ... brand, spanking new again.
