A Few of Our Favorite Things About the 2018 Hyundai Sonata Limited

    Well hello there. The 2018 Hyundai Sonata has reintroduced itself and we are liking what we see. After spending time with the Sonata over the years, I think that the 2018 model is my favorite one yet. Here are some of my favorite features:   It’s Spacious The Sonata has more total interior volume than any vehicle in its class- Hyundaiusa.com When taking weekend trips, I like to

Snow Days with the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT

  It’s definitely winter here in the Bronx- bomb cyclone and all. So we’re throwing it back to the first snow of this season in December when we had the chance to spend a week in the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander GT. Being that we love to take weekend trips throughout all of the seasons, it was a great chance to see how the Outlander handles in the snow. With the new

A Week in the Mitsubishi Mirage G4 SE

    Our little family loves to explore. While school and finances may not allow us to travel internationally as much as we’d like, we appreciate all that the world has to offer- starting in our own backyard. So that means local road trips and exploring. And while a larger vehicle for longer trips might be appealing, the savings factor with a smaller car is what allows us to travel more.

A Week in the 2017 Kia Sportage

  If you remember our posts on Twitter and Instagram, we spent some time this summer with the 2017 Kia Sportage SX AWD. Delivered to our door in Pacific Blue with black leather seats, the latest Sportage model has undergone some changes from the 2016 version. On the exterior, there are some noticeable differences to the front end. The funky look of the fog lights, which can also be seen in the

Birthday Week in the 2016 Mazda CX-9 Signature AWD

If you were following along on Twitter or Instagram, then you know I spent my birthday week reviewing the 2016 Mazda CX-9. Delivered to our door right before we headed upstate, I already had a feeling that this third row Mazda would woo me. And I was right. The CX-9 Signature AWD arrived in the Titanium Flash Mica color, complete with leather interior and rosewood trim accents. The attention to detail

A Week With the 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport

  Behold the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport GT 2.4. We recently spent some time reviewing this 2016 crossover to see what we thought. After a little over a week with it, I must admit that it was one of our least favorite cars that we have reviewed. Starting around $19,595, the Outlander Sport wasn’t at all terrible, it just failed to really impress.   In general, Mitsubishi’s are known to keep

Checking Out the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid

  We recently  had the opportunity to test out the 2016 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. This was our first hybrid that we have reviewed, so we had no idea what to expect. Would we need to plug it in somewhere? How does this thing work? This thing charges itself.     Now Why Doesn’t My Phone Do That? After being able to drive two hours into New Jersey and back without using

City Living in the Mazda CX-3

  The term family car can mean many different things in a city like New York. While SUVS and minivans might be the norm for families in most places, city dwellers are known to make it work in smaller vehicles. When we were given the opportunity to review the Mazda CX3 in Soul Red earlier last month, we weren’t sure what we would think of this much smaller ride, but we

A Week in the 2016 Kia Sorento SX Limited

  Late last month we spent a week with the 2016 Kia Sorento. As a family of four who currently rides in a used sedan, you know by now that price, MPG, and passenger/cargo space are important factors to us when considering upping our car budget. We like to explore and venture out on local getaways often, which is made possible by our low MPG- so we are always impressed

Checking out the 2016 Mazda CX-5

We love being able to check out new family car possibilities to share with readers who might be interested in a new vehicle. From sedans, to crossovers, to mini vans, we like to check out practical solutions for families with children. This time around we test drove the 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD. This 5 passenger crossover arrived in the Sonic Silver Metallic color. First things first, check out some

Checking out the 2015 Kia Sedona

Earlier this month we had the opportunity to test out the 2015 Kia Sedona for a week- perfect timing for some fun with the family! The Exterior The Sedona might be a minivan, but the exterior was by far one of our favorite looks when it comes to a minivan. In fact, from the front, it looks more like an SUV. So for those who are still not ready to
