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.
The voice recognition system is a nifty idea: Shout out commands, and someone actually listens. There are some bugs to be worked-out. My son’s German grandma can’t get the commands right. “Find neeerest Gerrrman fud” comes back with “Rear defrost on.”
Does anyone really need to spend this much money on a gas guzzler that barely fits in an average parking space? After driving it for a week I can say with some certainty that I now see the appeal. I can drive this car to the PTA, or fit right into a rap video. You can’t say that about a station wagon.
The 2006 B9 Tribeca is less “crunchy granola Boulderite” and more “crunchy granola Boulderite has grown up, moved to a trendy city, secured a profession and has a growing family”. This car is equally comfortable in the carpool lane and on a rare child-free date night with my husband.
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).
I love chocolate and I have no problem telling the world. I’m thrilled to hear about the newest studies linking chocolate to strong emotional and physical wellbeing. I don’t have to sacrifice decadence for health. Driving the 2005 Nissan Murano feels almost as good as eating chocolate. I don’t have to sacrifice form for function.
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.
I wonder if the automotive journalists who wrote those other Pilot reviews ever put children in the Pilot. Since Honda claims that “The Pilot continues to lead the sport utility segment as the ultimate SUV for family adventure” it would be logical to test it in real life with a real family.
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.
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.
