Aug 24 2009Months before the 2009 Nissan Versa’s arrival at my doorstep, I was eagerly anticipating test driving one of the most affordable cars in the market today. I knew it would lack frills. However, I can appreciate simplicity, so I welcomed the Versa into my driveway.

The Aveo5 feels like driving a go-kart. Colorado has just a few hills; the Aveo5 managed them, but only after I cut a hole in the floorboards and had my husband Flintstone-foot our way up.

My favorite new exterior feature in the 2009 Mercury Mariner Hybrid is the capless fuel tank. It’s not a sexy choice, I know, but knowing that I can’t pull away from the pump with my gas cap on top of my car is somehow comforting to me.

I have to give Honda some kudos regarding the Honda Satellite linked Navigation System. It is one of the most intuitive navigation systems on the road. I use it to find phone numbers as well as addresses. I literally have the 411 without having to run-up information charges on my cell phone. Even the non-techie girlfriends among us can appreciate that!

How will the Kia Optima measure up in the automotive hierarchy system? Will I expose the court jester masquerading as a member of the royal family or a virtuous knight fighting for the greater good?

With a manual transmission I need another pair of hands just to take a sip of my morning coffee. It seems that each time my phone rings or the children need me I am also in the midst of shifting. Holy distracted driver, Batman!

People who want a cheap car today can have their cake and eat it, too, with the 2009 Scion xD. Actually, the xD shouldn’t be called cheap. It’s inexpensive, and your mom will tell you there’s a difference.
