I recently heard about a woman who had three children when she became pregnant with triplets. Her youngest was under 2 when the triplets were born. How does she take her family of three infants, three children and a husband anywhere? The Nissan Pathfinder Armada could be her answer.
My first impression of the Subaru Outback 3.0R L.L.Bean Edition is that it isn’t my mama’s station wagon. There’s no pea-green paint elegantly inlaid with wood paneling. And much to my disappointment, there isn’t a rear-facing jump seat in the cargo area (my favorite childhood spot for planning mischief).
When I hear “Jaguar,” I visualize driving to the ballet decked out in diamonds and a mink coat. How bad could it be living that fantasy for a while?
What is a Hemi? Does it make carpooling easier? Will it keep my kids’ sippy cups from leaking on the seats? No? Well then, what’s it good for?
I’ve never understood the concept of owning an impractical car just for fun. If I had enough disposable income to purchase a ridiculously expensive “toy,” I figure I could do more meaningful and important things with it (like invest in my personal flip-flop fetish). How much use can a mommy get out of a two-seat convertible?
I have a theory that most minivan moms are cat people, while SUV moms are dog people. Now, that may be a gross generalization, but follow me on this for a minute: If the Pacifica can bridge the gap between SUVs and minivans, maybe it can also bridge the gap between dog and cat lovers. That, my fellow parents, could be a starting point for making the world a better place.
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.
Do you ever have those days as a mother when your patience is worn thinner than your husband’s socks you’ve been meaning to trash? If you have (or have had) toddlers, I’m sure you’ve experienced the feeling of constantly being tested. Driving the Touareg was a bit like adding another toddler to my fleet.
The marketing term coined by Nissan to describe the Murano is “The Urban SUV.” It’s sleek, modern and sophisticated. Not everyone sees it the way I do, however.
Hyundai is known for producing budget-friendly (dare I say cheap) vehicles. The Santa Fe is no exception. The entry-level model starts at just $17,999. My test vehicle is just one step up from there and arrived with only the standard features. My first impression is that it’s a somewhat feminine, young-looking SUV sporting a curvaceous body.
