I recently traveled 300 kilometers above the Arctic Circle to test the Volvo V50 and XC90 on the ice tracks. OK, the real truth is that 13 hours in the plane each way without kids was quite appealing to me. A good book, some mindless magazines and a long nap would do any mom a world of good.
Young women today work hard, whether it’s at an office or as full-time moms. We act as chauffeurs, cooks, counselors, nurses, housekeepers, and more (in my instance, I have to give my husband credit for his amazing cleaning skills). We deserve to get into a car that feels just as good as putting on our favorite pair of jeans. The Ford Freestyle does it for me.
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?
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.
You might be wondering what’s with the full-sized Lego model of the 2005 Volvo XC90? Volvo has paired with LegoLand to help teach young children the importance of safe driving. What a great idea! How can I get my kids involved in that? Maybe if we start now (at ages 2 and 4) we can avoid the all-too-common “invincible new driver” syndrome when they turn 16.
Sure, it’s a descendant of our mom’s station wagon used to bring us home from soccer practice in time to partake in a lovely crockpot or fondue dinner. But the station wagon has evolved over the years into a new species that is stylish and functional enough to meet our generation’s high standards.
While digging myself and the car out of five inches of snow with a kitchen spatula, I found that the front and rear defrosters work amazingly well. After running the defrost for a few minutes, an effortless swipe of my kitchen utensil (used only on my nicest Teflon pans) rids the windshield of snow and ice. I bet MacGyver hasn’t even thought of that one.
There’s no doubt that with its HEMI-powered engine the 2005 Dodge Magnum RT is marketed towards our male counterparts. It’s quite comical if you think about it: A man’s station wagon? Well, those guys are just now catching onto something us women folk have known for a very long time. Station wagons equal practicality. The Magnum is no exception.
Infiniti’s tagline for the QX56 is “Luxury on a Grand Scale.” To me that conjures up images of sailing a yacht through the warm Mediterranean, being served champagne and caviar by the deck boy. Can the Infiniti QX56 inject luxury into my real life where dining on peanut butter and honey is a more realistic expectation?
My job as household CEO is to search for the truth behind product marketing. This ranges from instant oatmeal that promises to hatch dinosaur eggs to shampoo that claims to make my hair curlier, straighter, shinier, easier to dry, thicker, fuller, blonder, etc. It’s a full time job just filtering the good from the bad, the true from the false. It makes my day when a product actually surpasses what it claims to do. This is the case with the 2005 Mercedes E320 4-Matic sedan.
