Vehicles for Road-Savvy Mothers
Statistics show that women make more than half of the car purchases in American households, so it’s not far-fetched to assume Mom knows her stuff when it comes to buying a new family car. Mom also knows what she needs in daily transport for everything from after-school activities to family vacations to college move-in day. But even savvy mothers need help sometimes – especially when it comes to making such a major financial decision. Fortunately, most vehicles today look as good as they are safe, versatile, reliable, comfortable and loaded with technology.
Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Platinum
In addition to the performance and gas-saving plug-in, the interior may be the best part of the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The eye-pleasing, quality-built cabin is stylishly and ergonomically designed with families in mind. If you have fussy kids who need to be entertained, then opt for the top-of-the-line platinum trim with Chrysler’s unbelievably cool “Uconnect Theatre.” Each ultra-comfortable second row captain’s chair is outfitted with its own whopping 10-inch touchscreen embedded with fun, educational game apps as well as USB port, headphone jack, HDMI port (DVD or BluRay), headphones, remote and even wireless connectivity for app mirroring. What could be better for keeping the kids quiet?
