2015 mazda 3 We enjoyed driving around the 2015 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring for the week.  It was such a fun car review despite all the snow we had I was still able to drive when it wasn’t snowing.  I have such a passion for trying new cars lately and I really loved the 2015 Mazda […]

We test drove the  2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport for a week, all opinions are our own.

Is it possible to be in love with a car?  My aunt told me she love her Hyundai Santa Fe and it was her favorite of all the cars she’s ever owned.  I was even more excited to do the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Review when I heard her reaction to us getting it for the week.

I loved the overall design and look of the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport.  It has Four wheel drive and a 2.0 turbo engine.  Officially titled the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport FWD 2.0T.  I’m really looking for a larger vehicle and this SUV would be perfect for our family.  It’s has plenty of room for Chris to adjust his seat without hitting my knees, plus when someone sits in the passenger side they didn’t have to sit up against the windshield with Kay’s car seat – everyone had plenty of room!

I always look at the Safety when we look into purchasing a new family vehicle.  While the 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport did not receive a Top Safety Pick from IIHS they did receive all good reports!  Good is the best you can get so this is a top safety pick in MY opinion.

We used the Hyundai Santa Fe to haul our Christmas gifts we bought and even picking up our Christmas tree!  This vehicle made our Christmas tree look super small, right?  Just love the size of it!

2015 Mazda CX-9 Review

We test drove the 2015 Mazda CX-9 for a week, all opinions are our own.

Mazda has become one of my top picks for cars, especially when it comes to safety.  The new 2015 Mazda CX-9 was the perfect size for our family.   We test drove the 2015 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring All Wheel Drive (AWD) in Titanium Flash Mica.  The price is pretty average for an SUV and the cost for the configuration we drove is $39,890 – MSRP: From $29,985.  This vehicle can tow anywhere from 2,000-3,500 lbs, not bad for an SUV!   It also has a ton of trunk space.

Thankfully gas prices are going down so we didn’t need to fill up to much with the CX-9.  One thing I absolutely loved is that on the dash it told me exactly how many miles I had to go before I needed to fill up.  Most cars I have to push a button to find that info and on the CX-9 it’s always displayed.   It has a 20.1 gal tank and you can get up to 16 City, 22 Highway, average 18 MPG.

We test drove the 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage for a week, all opinions are our own.

The 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage is a fuel efficient subcompact car.  The main thing we loved about this car was the pricing and the gas mileage.   We didn’t fill it once and it still had a half tank when we handed it in.  (MPG – Up to 37 city, 44 highway)  It comes in 8 different colors ranging from fun and fresh to neutral tones.  I myself am a fan of the neutral tones.  Sweet Baby was really impressed with the Plasma Purple and kept calling it Minnie Mouse car!  In fact she loved this car so much she really got upset when we had to give it back.

We test drove the Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T for the week thanks to Drive STI. My review of the Hyundai Sonata Sport 2.0T is my first time actually driving a Hyundai.  Chris and I both have never driven in a Hyundai vehicle and now we’re shocked that we’ve waited this long.   From the sleek design of the […]
