It’s official… I’m 22 again driving my Honda Civic on the SoCal coast. Okay not really, but I sure felt like it when I was behind the wheel of the 2019 Honda Civic. A lot has been upgraded to the Honda Civic and I have to say I am still a major fan. Thank you…
2018 Toyota C-HR Review: This Compact SUV With Edgy Style Gets Attention
Who is the Toyota C-HR (Coupe High Rider) really for? This is my second time driving the C-HR and I cannot tell you how many times I have been asked that question! When I saw it for the first time I totally put it in a box and initially thought Millennials. However, after getting up…
Toyota Yaris Review: Safe, Compact, and Affordable
The Toyota Yaris is Perfect for a Party of One. Looking for the perfect car for a teen, single adult, city-dweller, or older adult? The Toyota Yaris is a compact, budget-conscious option for those who don’t need a ton of space. It’s also a terrific little car to take on a solo road trip. I…
Big Things Come in Small Packages: 2017 Hyundai Elantra
Don’t let the sleek exterior and demure price tag fool you; there’s a ton of great stuff inside. I don’t know what the heck I’m doing in an Electric Blue car. This bright blue isn’t my favorite color, but it’s the color I ended up in this weekend when I went to Imperial Beach, California, to…
Feeling Young and Cute in the 2016 Mazda CX-3
Zipping around the neighborhood in the sporty little 2016 Mazda CX-3 Touring will put a smile on your face. It’s definitely made for city driving and it makes all the young ladies say “awwww.” My 16 year old sister was immediately in love when I showed her photos and our 18 year old babysitter declared…
2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid: A Popular SUV Revamped for MPG and Luxury
This is big. The only small hybrid SUV on the road gets up to 33MPG. YAY! I feel like the five year old who, upon her first time meeting him, says to Santa Claus, “I’ve been waiting all my life to meet you!” Of course, that’s funny because she’s so young and five years isn’t that long,…
2015 Nissan Juke: When Color Matters, This Compact Crossover Gets Its Game On
A customizable compact crossover that responds to your team and the road. If I were going to buy a car (which I’m not) for my teenage son (which I don’t have) this is the car he would want me to buy: The Nissan Juke. I recently had the opportunity to spend a week in the…
Unveiling The 2016 Toyota Prius In Las Vegas
The 2016 Prius has a coming out party. I recently attended the “unveiling” party for the new 2016 Toyota Prius as a guest for AGirlsGuidetoCars.com. Toyota created a fun and swanky event in Las Vegas at The Linq Hotel and Casino resort to showcase changes to one of its most popular models. Hundreds of people mingled, learning,…
Escaping Motherhood: 2015 Kia Forte Takes Us Away (And Back!)
A girls’ getaway weekend is all the better in a distinctly non-mom car. I went to Mom 2.0 Summit a few weeks ago in Scottsdale, Arizona, with my friend Michelle Villemaire of TLC’s new show What She Said. So we could add a little adventure to the trip, we drove from Los Angeles to Scottsdale in a 2015 Kia…
2014 Nissan Versa Note Review: Space, Tech and Storage at a Great Price
I have not really been a small-car driver for many years. In fact, up until my last two cars, I kept getting larger and larger cars. Now I am headed back the other way. Although I may not be ready to drive a compact car full-time I was happily surprised with the 2014 Nissan Versa Note that…
