Review of the 2005 Mazda Tribute

2006 Mazda Tribute - 10/07/05

MSRP: $20,115 - $24,700 | MPG: 23 Hwy, 24 City

I like the general overall size of the Mazda Tribute. It is car-ish inside, allowing me to reach the kids if I need to. I don’t feel like I’m driving the Mazda Gigantor (not a real car), or filling up the Mazda Gigantor at the pump.


Review of the 2005 Hummer H3

2006 Hummer H3 - 9/12/05

MSRP: $28,935 - $28,935 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 16 City

During my week turning heads in the H3, my vanity starts to get the best of me. I’m continually frustrated by the large tires that splatter minuscule mud puddles across the car like big juicy mosquitoes hitting the windshield at mach speed.


Review of the 2005 Lexus RX 400h

2006 Lexus RX 400h - 6/22/05

MSRP: $44,660 - $46,060 | MPG: 27 Hwy, 33 City

To Do: Finish dishes, fold laundry, fuel car, grocery shop, bank deposit, ballet recital, fuel car again, play group; deposit more money so I can FUEL THE CAR AGAIN! Listen up fellow moms, I’ve found a revolutionary way to cut down on our “To Do” lists while helping us manage our budgeted fuel costs. Check out the 2006 Lexus RX 400h (“h” for hybrid).


Review of the 2005 BMW X5

2005 BMW X5 - 5/10/05

MSRP: $41,700 - $70,100 | MPG: 21 Hwy, 16 City

Imagine my surprise when this luxury Sports Activity Vehicle actually draws blood. When pulling off the covers to get to the Latch connectors, a sharp plastic edge slices right into my fingertip. Thank goodness for leather seats that wipe clean easily.


Review of the 2005 Hyundai Tucson

2005 Hyundai Tucson - 4/26/05

MSRP: $17,499 - $22,799 | MPG: 24 Hwy, 22 City

Tucson, Arizona: where the rich and famous travel to experience world-class spa treatments steeped deeply in Native American mystique. A lush desert oasis — an oxymoron, you say? That is my thought exactly when hearing that the 2005 Hyundai Tucson could provide style, innovative safety systems AND value. It’s simply not possible — or so I thought.


Review of the 2005 Honda CR-V

2005 Honda CR-V - 3/11/05

MSRP: $20,195 - $25,250 | MPG: 26 Hwy, 23 City

The Hondas are coming, the Hondas are coming! Four months of phone calls and emails have finally paid off. For those of you requesting Honda reviews here they are: The CR-V followed by Accord Hybrid and Pilot (sorry, still no luck on the Odyssey). After all that waiting and build-up I sure hope they live up to their reputation of affordable, safe convenience.


Review of the 2005 Ford Escape

2005 Ford Escape - 2/15/05

MSRP: $19,425 - $28,455 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 36 City

Our family’s new year’s resolution for 2005 is to become more Earth conscious. For us, that means starting to recycle. I think that driving the Escape Hybrid for two weeks officially pardons me from those occasional yogurt cups I’ve “mistakenly” thrown in the garbage since January 1.


Review of the 2005 Land Rover Range Rover

2005 Land Rover Range Rover - 1/11/05

MSRP: $73,085 - $73,085 | MPG: 16 Hwy, 12 City

Range Rover has experienced a “steady sales growth, especially to very high profile celebrity owners.” Well, many celebrities are moms too, and all moms are celebrities in my book. How does this high end luxury SUV perform during its real world Mother Proof test drive?


Review of the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee - 1/04/05

MSRP: $26,355 - $34,570 | MPG: 19 Hwy, 17 City

The 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited “handles the outback or the opera.” I don’t know about you, but I don’t drive to either of those places very often. Play dates and preschool are more my speed.


Review of the 2004 Infiniti FX35

2004 Infiniti FX35 - 6/03/04

MSRP: $34,550 - $36,050 | MPG: 22 Hwy, 17 City

I, like most parents, have a slight case of paranoia when it comes to protecting my children. I drill my preschooler on stranger danger and fire safety. I also have a heightened awareness when it comes to vehicle safety, so I’m thrilled to discover that the Infiniti FX35 AWD received five-star crash test ratings across the board.
