Hello, Jessica! “Cute” is a nice way to describe the 2009 Honda Fit. Although I’m really not a big fan of small cars, I do think there are some points on why the 2009 Honda Fit should be a fun car for you, Jessica. Wherever you are, even in Texas, the kind of car you drive should have some “fun” in it. Even in its commercials, the Fit just screams “fun” but with engineering and technology to back it up.

Since your concern is fun, let me put the advantages of the 2009 Honda Fit into fun terms. Fun means having your friends around or at least being able to carry your fun stuff with you. The Fit can pack you in and 4 other friends inside, in the way Honda said it, its “cavernous” cabin. If you fancy ditching the buddies, reconfigure the seats for more cargo space. Not only that, with an EPA rating of 33 mpg, you are ensured of stretching your gas bucks to take you and your friends around town. Now, if you do end up driving all around, the Fit’s got your back with its six airbags, like a bodyguard, to protect you and your buddies. The Fit’s got the zip and the jazz to give you guaranteed fun on the road.

Honda 2009 Odyssey Texas TX

Reader’s Question:

Hi, I’m in the market for a new “mommy mobile” for me to drive in Texas. A friend of mine said that the Odyssey would be a nice pick. Originally, I was planning on getting an SUV for me. With what my friend said, I think I’d like some more information, please.

Hi, Sarah! Your friend was right in picking the 2009 Honda Odyssey for you. Why go with a minivan like the Odyssey? Well, minivans handle like cars but carry people around like it was a small truck. In terms of fuel economy, the minivan should do better than a traditionally V8-powered SUV. In terms of safety features, a minivan takes more of “family” into mind and comes loaded with safety equipment like side-curtain airbags. Another bonus for you would be that minivans are less costly to insure compared to a full-sized SUV.

Why drive the Odyssey then? Most Honda Odyssey drivers are all raves about this car. Points for them are the roominess and ease of driving the car. But what’s at the core of the vehicle, then? Checking out some specs, the Odyssey can comfortably seat 6 to 8 people depending on the configuration which is usually adjusted if you are planning to bring extra cargo with you. In terms of safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety even awarded the Odyssey as its Top Safety Pick for 2008. It comes with Anti-Lock Brakes, Vehicle Stability systems, airbags for driver and passengers and side-curtain airbags. In terms of fuel economy, a conscious mom like you will surely not complain about its 25 on the highway performance for the EX-L trim. And it’s certainly convenient that the Odyssey can run on just regular unleaded. The Odyssey certainly won’t be a hassle to drive around Texas.
