Nissan has a new name on the block: Versa. I’m sure “Versa” is meant to imply “versatile,” but often my experience driving this little offering from Nissan more closely resembles “versus.”

Driving mini-me cars isn't pretty for a family of four, but that is just part of my gig here at Mother Proof and shows what I'm willing to do for you. Do you feel the love, dear readers? Well, listen up ladies, I'm going out on a limb here to let you know that the Hyundai Elantra is downright roomy. And that means that I can give my thesaurus a much-needed break from the typical frantic search for "small" synonyms.

The trunk space is small, in spite of the Divide-N-Hide compartment. What? Divide-N-Hide? What's that? It's a clever false back to the trunk where I can stash my super secret supply of chocolate.

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.

Driving the front-wheel-drive 2009 Ford Focus SES was better than I expected; it felt tight and well-constructed. The manual transmission let me have more power when I wanted it, but it’s a four-cylinder, so it’s not over-the-top speed-wise.

The 2009 Honda Fit manages to be fun, cute and sporty, and hold three kids across the backseat and a full load of groceries all at once. Are you surprised? I was.

Corollas have been around forever, and my bet is that they'll continue to be around for a long time. That's because they’re good, solid cars, just like the 2009 Toyota Corolla I tested.
Dec 05 2007
Chocolate and peanut butter, rum and coke — these things sound right. I’m even a fan of less-obvious combos, like pickles and ice cream (no, mom, I am not pregnant). Like that odd pairing, when I say ”Ford Focus” and ”gadgets” in the same breath, it may seem a bit off.
Jul 12 2006
Did I mention safety? Pimp it out with E-Guard (available outside of the US, of course, on the E 320 CDI, E 350 or E 500), a custom built ballistics package, and this vehicle is functional for drug dealers, politicians and parents alike.

Saturn says the Ion is "Nimble, yet powerful." While it gets up to speed just fine, I would not consider it nimble. It feels stiff (not in a cool, tight, sporty way but in a hard, unforgiving bumper-car-at-the-amusement-park sort of way).
