Mummy Cars! The Best Cars for Mums!

Although I'm not a mum myself, but growing up I've definitely noticed the daily  struggles that mums go through trying to get their kids into the car along with their numerous overloading bags of groceries. Hard aye?

But... in today society, believe it or not! There are cars specifically deigned for families or mums to take out their daily struggles while making their life and daily activities easier!

Its hard being a mum as not just any vehicle can handle the rigors of motherhood. Modern moms are a busy lot — dividing their time between work, play and driving the kids to school and a laundry list of extracurricular activities. As a result, mothers-on-the-go require reliable, safe and versatile "mommy-mobiles." As since personal preferences and a family's needs vary, mummy cars range from small and fuel-efficient hatchback wagons to kid-friendly and affordable SUVs.

From research, here are some of the best mummy cars that I've picked from a vast range of family cars! :) haha and also price friendly!

Standing in the 1st place is the new Kia Rando 7!

This is a new style of  URV (Urban Recreational Vehicle) as the new Kia Rondo 7 is the lowest-priced 'cross-over' vehicle in the market. This is an amazing car for mums out there due to its deceptively compact exterior and major people/cargo-carrying capacity. Starting at $24,990 for the LX model, the Rondo offers the best value for money proving generous sitting and storage spaces. As its URV status comes from its flexibility and versatility. while this car is stylish and functional which is  great  for the inner-city along with outdoor trips. For empty nesters or expanding families, it addresses all your changing circumstances.

Standing in the 2nd place is the Honda Fit!

At first glance, the Honda Fit looks too small to be a family car, but if you look closer and you'll see the sheer genius of the Fit's design. Despite its small size, the Fit is amazingly space-efficient, with a cargo bay that stows 20.6 cubic feet -- more than the Audi A4 Avant wagon -- and a back seat that will accommodate two high-school-age kids in comfort. Fold the back seat down, and the Fit will haul as much cargo as a full-size SUV; flip the back seat cushion up and the Fit will accommodate tall, oddly-shaped items that can't lie flat (art projects, tall plants). All this in a small package that's easy to park and gets 35 MPG.However for parents out there, for maximum safety, buy the Sport model, which gets the electronic stability control.  

Standing in the 3rd place is the new Mazda CX-7!

The new CX-7 is the ultimate SUV crossover, combining sports car style with SUV capabilities.

Powered by the same 2.3 litre Direct Injection Spark Ignition (DISI) turbocharged in-line 4-cylinder engine as found in the Mazda6 MPS and Mazda3 MPS, the CX-7 delivers an outstanding 175kW of power and 350Nm of torque.To assist in transferring that power to the road the CX-7 also features a similar Active Torque Split (ATS) AWD system to that found in the Mazda6 MPS. This ensures that optimum torque is distributed to each wheel for maximum traction in dry, wet, bitumen, gravel or snow.

With standard performance and safety features such as Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), your CX-7 will perform well above expectations providing the safest journeys for mums and their kids. The CX-7’s standard features include; 6-speed Activematic transmission, air-conditioning, remote central locking, ‘dual stage’ door unlocking, DSC, TCS, ABS, six SRS airbags, power operated windows and mirrors, an MP3 compatible 6-disc CD player and auto headlamps on/off function. This is a great family car for busy mums with 2 or more kids, as this car adjusts to both a mum's working and family lifestyle providing them with the necessary spaces need and superior safety. 

Here you go! These are my top 3 picks for mummy cars! As I'm not yet a mum myself, for all the experienced mums out there please feel free to leave a comment below on what you think the best mummy cars are in today's market! 

 

Hot Sport Cars for Teen Girls

HOT HOT HOT!!! Sport Cars for the Girls of the 21st century!!!

While some girls want a small and comfortable car where they can decorate with their favorite toys and cushions. Other teen girls out there desires the need for speed, wanting to experience the hotness and the thrill of sport cars!

When we think of sport cars for girls, one usually arrives at an image of a convertible roadster that is small and compact, while fulfilling our need for speed! However, many of us often  fantasizes about driving a sport or race car to work. The power, the acceleration and the speed seem like they would be a dream come true on the road. Zoom! Zoom!

But why do us girls want and prefer the thrill of sport cars?

The major difference between a sport car and a normal one is the fact that sport cars have a stronger engine than the day to day vehicle. Most of the times, the sport engine has a bigger horse power which enables the driver to reach 60 miles per hour in no more than two or three seconds. On top of that, these cars are far faster than the others which means if you are looking for speed, you are looking in the right place!

The suspensions are also different as compared to the ones on the normal cars. Since they may arrive at the incredible speed of 300 km per hour, sport suspensions have to be able to support this aggressive driving style, to keep the car steady and give it a dynamic shape. The lower the ground clearance, the faster the sport car becomes; therefore, sport suspensions are usually smaller than normal ones.

So, if you’re looking for speed and sport car suspension then keep reading ;)

Although sport cars are difficult to drive for girls, as these cars are less comfortable than usual cars while they are extremely difficult to manage in the city, girls including myself still love them for their cool style and appearances!

So... Lets start with some of my favorite sports cars that in my opinion is more suitable for girls in terms of its style, interior & exterior designs along with its level of comfort!

First up! We have the popular Chevy Corvette, as the Corvette has always been an exciting American icon and at 26 mpg on the highway, things can only get better with its high speed and stability within the city environment.  To me, the Corvette is truly a sports car due to its’ sleek styling, agility and unquestionable ability to handle the road at high speeds. 

Second up! The Dodge Challenger R/T has also made it on to the list as the Challenger is simply a muscle car and a sports car combined.  This car is a car of immense strength, however, the design of this new Challenger leaves me wanting something more in the styling department and yet, I can’t quite put my finger on what that something more is. The Challenger R/T has has retro styling but in some situations, girls perfer this particular style, wanting the vintage look. 

Also if you are interested, check out the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Mazda MX-5, the Nissan 350Z, Porsche 911, Mitsubishi Eclipse, Saturn Sky, BMW M3, Porsche 911, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Nissan 350Z,Cadillac XLR,  Chrysler Crossfire, Dodge Viper, Honda S2000, Ferrari F430 Spider and Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

I think a sports car should handle well, hug the road at high speeds and of course, be stylish and fun to drive!!

Business Car_The safest luxury sedans: Volvo S80

Among luxury sedans, the Volvo S80 has always been something of an alternative choice. Through two generations, Volvo's largest sedan has spurned outright luxury and serious performance in favor of cutting-edge safety features and in-cabin technology. And, in a class dominated by rear-drive sedans, Volvo continues to tout the virtues of front-wheel drive, while offering all-wheel drive as an option.

There are plenty of premium-brand sedans that feel more upscale than the S80. There are just as many that surpass its balance and grip on a winding back road. Yet the Volvo S80 is certainly one of the safest cars money can buy. It also boasts some of the industry's most supportive seats.

For luxury sedan buyers whose tastes diverge from the mainstream, the Volvo S80 is an interesting car to consider. And with a price tag that undercuts many European and Japanese-brand competitors, it can be a sensible option as well.

Current Volvo S80

The Volvo S80 is only midsize in dimensions, which means it can seat four adults comfortably but doesn't have yards of legroom to spare. It has about the same footprint as the Acura RL, the competitor it most closely resembles in personality and performance.

Volvo sells two versions of the S80. The entry-level S80 3.2 is front-wheel drive and is motivated by a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder rated for 240 horsepower. Coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission, the 3.2 moves the S80 along adequately in most situations.

However, buyers seeking a more authentic luxury experience will undoubtedly prefer the S80 T6, which uses a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 good for 300 hp. It uses the same transmission as the base S80, but power goes to all four wheels via a standard all-wheel-drive system.

Both Volvo S80s come standard with the usual luxury amenities, including xenon headlamps, leather upholstery, wood trim, Bluetooth, power-adjustable seats and dual-zone automatic climate control. Major options include front/rear park assist, heated front and rear seats, an excellent 12-speaker Dynaudio sound system, a navigation system, a rearview camera, a dual-screen rear entertainment system and (T6 only) a sport-tuned "Dynamic" suspension.

On the safety front, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Personal Car Communicator (PCC) and collision warning system (bundled with adaptive cruise control) are worthwhile options for long-distance commuters to consider. One of the first systems of its kind, BLIS uses warning lights mounted on the A-pillars to alert the driver when another vehicle pulls up in the S80's blind spot. Although PCC is basically a glorified security system, its transponder has a heartbeat sensor to let you know if someone is still in your Volvo after the alarm has been activated.

Useful features like these are the main reasons someone might want to buy a Volvo S80. The utter comfort of the front seats and a reasonable price tag are additional points in the car's favor. In other respects, though, the Volvo S80 comes across as tepid compared to its luxury sedan rivals. It rides comfortably, handles predictably and stops short, but otherwise does little to engage its driver. And although its cabin has all the expected amenities, it lacks the unrestrained elegance and exacting quality of competitors' interiors.
