Give mom the kind of car she really wants 05/10/2011
Although Mother's Day was yesterday, many of you may have done an I.O.U. as a gift idea, hoping to save up for something great. One gift that is sure to floor the special lady in your life? A brand new set of wheels, of course.
While mother's are known for driving family-friendly vehicles because they typically run the errands and cart the kids around, a large vehicle will be a great gift for making sure she can take care of all of her daily needs. However, it's best that the gift giver deciphers the needs of their mother - practicality or luxury.
Practicality
When it comes to vehicles that can carry a lot, it's all about preference. Some mothers may be more likely to turn to vehicles that offer a sporty look. The Acura TSX Sport Wagon is not your typical station wagon. While it does offer the trunk space of a station wagon, the look of it is sporty like a small SUV. Mothers will definitely feel like they're not confined to the typical "soccer mom" vehicle, but can still haul everything they need to.
Luxury
Of course, for the mom who likes to feel the wind through her hair, a convertible may feel like the ultimate luxury item. Those who are really looking for a car that will not only make their mother feel like a million bucks but is also still practical in price should look no further than the Nissan 370z. Available in a convertible model with up to 25 mpg highway, this is a great option for those who like to take long weekend drives.
