The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport – Great For A Family!

April 6, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

While taking a recent trip to Walt Disney World I had the chance to drive the new 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. This vehicle was a great vehicle that had the perfect amount of room for my family of four and was decked out with the safety and features that I would want in a vehicle today!

The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, is a vehicle that I had not driven before, but I have to say that I was impressed. Being on a vacation, I wanted to make sure that I was driving a vehicle that would get great gas mileage and this vehicle fit that bill well. With an average miles per gallon of 25 and being able to get 23 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway I could definitely save money and time on not needing to get gas very often and in the week that I was driving this vehicle I did not need to fill up at all!

I also loved the 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty that the vehicle comes with that covers the powertrain as well as a number of other limited warranties that help to cover you for so much!

The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is a smaller SUV but it had enough room for everything that we brought with us on our vacation.

The 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport also, had a ton of safety features that came with the vehicle that made my family and I feel completely safe within the vehicle itself. Tons of airbags throughout the vehicle, lane departure warnings, and more all made us feel that the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport had us covered!

The kids loved the full moon roof on the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. Especially being on vacation in a warm weather climate, having something that allows you to bring in some of the beauty of the State and the sunshine after a long winter, it brought a lot of smiles to my kids’ faces!

Best of all was the price. At only $29,110, the 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport gives you a ton of features for a very reasonable price. As someone that is cost-conscious, it is important to make sure that I can get what I need in a car that will not break the bank and this one does just that!

If you are looking for a new vehicle, definitely check out the new 2018 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport!

Car Review – 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus

November 29, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

When it comes to features on a car that I look for initially, gas mileage is definitely on the top of my books and the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus is a vehicle that continues to wow me in regards to the amount of money you can save in the lifetime of the car itself.

Your see, the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus can get up to 56 miles per gallon. As I was driving he vehicle I found that I enjoyed being able to play a bit of a game with my driving trying to do whatever I could to keep the car in a zone where I was using as little engine power as I could. This was not an easy task, but it was something that really allows you to make the most out of your driving experience. I also noted that after every drive the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus would give you a ranking on how well you did in regards to being economical and “green.”

Outside of these features I did find that the vehicle worked well in all conditions that I experienced. It has a few different power modes which will allow you to get different types of power depending on the type of terrain or power that is needed.

The trunk on the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus is small but you can have additional space by folding down the backseat. You can also take out the cover that sits over the trunk area as well, so while you do not have a lot of room, however, for small trips you should have plenty of room to get from where you are to where you are going!

The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Plus is a great car that truly will save you a ton of money in the end and for the price you are gaining an amazing ride!

Car Review – 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe LTE

November 19, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

About the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe

Whenever I try a new car I love to give it to see whether or not my family will fit and it with any problems. With the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe I quickly found that this was not the case. The Hyundai Santa Fe is a vehicle that definitely has a ton of room. You are able to not only fit a family of four but you also have a third row that allows you to have additional people, especially if you have a large family, or if you bring friends along with you as well. My family only has two children within it, both of my kids are in sports and tend to have friends over all the time which means that we need a vehicle that can have more people within it. With the Hyundai Santa Fe we could easily get 7 people within the vehicle and still have some room in the back for luggage. I will be honest and say that it is not a lot of room but you can give yourself more room if you do not use the third row. The third row will fold down so that you can have quite a bit of room to be able to bring things with you if the need arises.

The 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe comes with a ton of great features. The vehicle handles very well in both dry and wet conditions. It also accelerates quickly and has great safety features that allow for you to be able to know if you are going off the road or if there are other obstacles around the vehicle. One of the safety features I love is the camera system that the Hyundai Santa Fe has that even gives you a 360 View around the vehicle and you are backing into a parking spot or as you are simply backing up.

The vehicle has a reasonable price tag too. You have the ability to be able to get into a vehicle like this for a bit more than $30,000. For a family can I this is a vehicle that definitely gives you everything that you need and more.

I’m definitely very impressed with this vehicle and if you have never tried driving the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe I would definitely recommend this to everyone.

My Take on the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe

Car Review – 2017 Toyota RAV4

November 19, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

I never driven the Toyota RAV4 prior to the previous week. I had heard a lot of great things about this vehicle and after driving it I can see why. The Toyota RAV4 is a small SUV that allows for you to be able to get you anywhere that you want to go without any issue. You can easily fit 5 people within the Toyota RAV4 and even though it does not give you a third row, it does give you the ability to have a ton of space within the trunk be able to take anything that you need it with you.

And driving the Toyota RAV4 I found that I was able to get very good gas mileage as well is that it did a great job at handling in both dry and wet conditions. Accelerated well and with the safety features I felt completely safe no matter where I was able to go.

I really like the amount of space that it gave in the trunk area and you could fold down the second row to be able to get even more.

All in all the Toyota RAV4 was a great small SUV, that for the small family is a great price for the value that you are getting.

This is my review of the 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring. Very impressed by the style, control, space and gas mileage in this great car.

The 2017 Mazda6 Grand Touring allows you to have style, comfort and reliability all in a single package.

The 2017 Mazda6 offered tons of leg room, safety and comfort throughout the car. The trunk was HUGE for a car of this size. Also, the 2017 Mazda6 has a ton of pick up for highway driving.

I do a lot of driving between home and work and thus I am always looking for vehicles that offer great gas mileage and this one delivers. With a combined gas mileage of 35 MPG you can really drive a long ways on one tank of gas.

You get all of the bells and whistles as it comes to full technology within the car and everything, including some optional features that I was not aware of bring this vehicle to just under $35.000.

April 26, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The 2017 Toyota Camry was a great ride. For about a week while I was in Florida I had the opportunity to put the 2017 Toyota Camry through hit spaces. I was able to drive it in both Highway and City conditions and I found that it was a very comfortable and Powerful vehicle that would be perfect for a family. The 2017 Toyota Camry has all of the technological features that you would expect on a new Toyota vehicle. You also get the peace of mind of a great warranty and the ability to be able to get into a vehicle that has a long-standing record of very few repairs needed.

The 2017 Toyota Camry also has a great price tag and for less than $35,000 you can get a vehicle that has everything that most will need to be very comfortable for the long run. In the end, the 2017 Toyota Camry had a kind of Tower, handled well comma and performed much better than I would have expected. If you are in the market for a new Toyota this here, the Toyota Camry should definitely be on your test drive list.

Below are my thoughts on this great vehicle!

Great Gas Mileage For Commuting & More With The 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer

March 5, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

When you are looking for a vehicle that is affordable but has a lot of technology on it the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer 2.4 SEL AWC may be one that you want to consider.

For the past week I tested out the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer. I will start by saying that I was very impressed by the cost effectiveness of the vehicle in general, as at just over $24,400, this is a much more affordable option for many. This vehicle is a great car for commuters in my opinion as you are getting some solid gas mileage with 23 in the city and 30 on the highway for an average of 26 MPG. This is definitely something that I am looking for when I think of cars for my drive to work. With about a 50 mile round trip daily, I do look for cars that can save some money on gas and this will do just that.

The Mitsubishi Lancer does not have all of the bells and whistles that some have but this is something that keeps the cost low too. The car is comfortable and handles well. I found that it is a little smaller than some, but four or five people can still fit in it without a problem.

The car has a ton of safety features that are included with the price as well which is something that any father is concerned about. I have no concerns about my family riding in this vehicle and being safe no matter where we go.

Check out a few more of my thoughts on the Mitsubishi Lancer below!

Genesis G90 – The Next Level of Luxury

February 9, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Genesis G90 – The Next Level of Luxury

This is my review of the 2017 Genesis G90. If you have never heard of the new Genesis line of vehicles get ready for luxury beyond what you have thought of at a price below some of the other named brands you may know. Genesis embodies a smarter, more progressive approach to luxury with innovation and styling seamlessly integrated into your life.

I did not know what to expect of this brand, but I have driven some of it’s sister brand’s (Hyundai) vehicles in the past and actually purchased a Hyundai Santa Fe a few months ago I was that impressed with the quality and features on the vehicle itself. Thus I was definitely expecting similar quality and I was not disappointed in the Genesis G90.

The Genesis G90 is completely loaded with all of the bells and whistles you would expect on a luxury sedan but it offered even more. The vehicle had a ton of power. With a V8 engine touting a 5.0L direct injection DOHC 32-valve engine giving you 450 HP and 383 LB/ft of torque this vehicle does not hold back and you have all of the power that you need to get where you want.

On top of this though you also have a sleek design with very unique and classy touches that make this a car that makes you feel like a professional and like you are driving in complete style. The interior is plush and gives all 5 passengers a ton of room to be comfortable. The back seat is huge and depending on the driver and passenger seat placement, the people in back get more leg room than I have seen in most vehicles.

The Genesis G90 also offers control for all. Both in the front and back passengers can control their environment. From the sound system to environmental and seat controls, everything can be customized by the individual riding in the vehicle.

Speaking of sound system. The Genesis G90 is super quiet. Riding on the highway or on city roads you are isolated from outside noise which allows you to enjoy the amazing stereo sound system that is in this vehicle. The vehicle offers you 17 speakers which offers you premium sound that is unmatched from other vehicles that I have driven thus far.

You also can get where you need to be with ease by using the amazing 12.3 inch HD navigation system. This display was HUGE and I have never seem a display as large of this and it was so nice to have.

Finally, the Genesis G90 is a vehicle that is so comfortable to ride within. The vehicle also offers you multi-adjustable bucket seats with Nappa leather. When I say adjustable I mean it. The vehicle offers you seats that offers you a 22-way power driver seat with lumbar support and even a 16-way power front passenger seat with power lumbar support too.

The Genesis G90 offers it all for a price tag that rivals many other competitors. The 2017 G90 RWD 5.0 Ultimate that I drove comes in at a price of $70,650, but it is worth every penny for what you get.

2017 Kia Sportage SX FWD Offers Great Style, Space and More!

January 7, 2017 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Over the past few days I had the chance to drive the new 2017 Kia Sportage SX FWD. This small SUV from KIA offers more than meets the eye and really delivers in regards to power, handling and comfort. You can easily fit five people in the vehicle and with the seats in the second row folding down you can also get a lot of room if you need it.

I found that the 2017 Kia Sportage really does offer great power too. The vehicle has its’ own paddles so you can switch over to manual if you want to amp up the power to the vehicle. At the same time you have all of the safety features that I know that I am looking for in a family vehicle and I can tell that this would be a vehicle that would be plenty safe for my whole family.

The 2017 Kia Sportage also gives you great gas mileage. I found that they state that it is 21 in the city and 26 on the highway with an average of 23 mpg. I found that this was true and I seemed to get a similar MPG from the 2017 Kia Sportage as well.

The 2017 Kia Sportage was a ton of fun to drive and with the 10 year, 100,000 mile warranty I am truly impressed with what this vehicle offers. Also, with a fully loaded vehicle coming in at less than $34,000 this vehicle is a great price for a family looking to get into a SUV.

All-in-all I was very impressed with the 2017 Kia Sportage and I think you will be too!

Smooth Controls and Handling With the Lexus NX 200t

December 12, 2016 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Over the past week we had the chance to try out the new 2017 Lexus NX 200t. This small SUV had a ton of power and control and gave you a ton of cool features for the $40,778.00 price tag on the vehicle itself.

The car offered luxurious interior comfort and all of the technology. Bells and whistles that you would hope for on a Lexus. Just like in other Lexus models, this had the touchpad enabled, so you would have to use this for use within this vehicle to change channels, program different aspects or move through other features within the vehicle. I got more used to this keypad the more that I used this, but at first I found that this was a bit more difficult to use, especially at the end.

I found in driving the Lexus NX 200t that I was able to get some good gas mileage. With an average of about 24mpg and 22 (city) and 28 (highway), you get to save a lot of money while still getting good pick-up, handling and control.

The Lexus NX 200t also has strong safety features which was important to my family. With 8 airbags throughout the car on top of curtain airbags, anti-lock braking system, brakeforce distribution and more, you get full coverage to make sure that your whole family staffs stay safe.

All-in-all the Lexus NX 200t was a great vehicle that really did a great job at holding up to the weeklong scrutiny that we put this through ourselves, and I would highly recommend this for all!

Below are a few more of my thoughts on the 2017 Lexus NX 200t
