Experience the Ultimate in Luxurious Family Driving in the Brand New 2015 Lincoln MKC

May 12, 2015 by Kathryn 13 Comments

Living in a small town, I tend to do a fair bit of driving in a typical week. From extra-curricular activities to the big weekly grocery-shopping trip to dropping my boys off with their dad on the weekend, running around in the car is just a fact of life. Recently Ford Canada gave me the chance to add some luxury to my daily driving in the first ever 2015 Lincoln MKC and I have to say that this car was love at first drive for me!

This crossover between an SUV and a luxury sedan is absolutely the top of the line when it comes to safe and luxurious driving. From the mirrors and seat, which automatically adjust to perfect driving position when the car starts, to the Blind Spot Information System that lets me know when I can safely change lanes, this car comes as close to driving itself as any vehicle I’ve ever experienced.

Start a #2015Revolution This Year with Special K-Giveaway

January 22, 2015 by Kathryn 219 Comments

I’ve said many times in the past that I don’t much like the concept of a New Year’s Resolution. I find that people tend to end up having an “all or nothing” attitude when they make resolutions, which results in many giving up completely at the first misstep. However, I do think that the new year is a great time to set some goals for the coming months. Knowing that success might not be immediate takes off the pressure and lets me move forward at my own pace, something that’s led to my accomplishing many of my goals over the years.

Recently, Special K surveyed Canadians to see how they felt about New Year’s Resolutions and the results showed that I’m not the only one that’s not a fan of the popular tradition. In fact, according to participants, only 23% of Canadians have ever achieved a New Year’s Resolution. That’s not a very good success rate for any goal! And almost half of the women surveyed had no motivation to complete a resolution at all. [Read more…]

The 2015 Ford Fiesta ST is a Dream Combination of Power and Style

August 12, 2014 by Kathryn 2 Comments

I have to admit that I have a love of speed when I drive and even though I control my urge to race down the road, I can’t help but fall in love with a vehicle that has a lot of zip. So when Ford Canada recently gave me the chance to test drive the 2015 Ford Fiesta ST, it was love at first sight. The ST model of this little hatchback comes in standard only and boasts 197 horsepower, aluminum interior detailing and an ST-unique suspension. It’s virtually impossible not to have fun behind the wheel of this vehicle.

It had been years since I’d last driven a standard vehicle and I have to admit that I’d forgotten how much fun it was, especially in a sporty little car like this one. The Fiesta is built very compact, which means that it’s great on gas and perfect as a commuter car. Even so, it had a surprisingly roomy back hatch that could easily have held all the groceries from one of our family’s monthly stocking-up grocery trips.

Take a Look at the Newly Redesigned 50th Anniversary Ford Mustang

January 14, 2014 by Kathryn 4 Comments

There aren’t many people that don’t love the fabulous Ford Mustang and this year the car is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a brand new redesigned look that will have Mustang fans clambering to take a look! I recently received some pictures and information about the new 2015 Ford Mustang and it is one gorgeous and powerful machine!

All-new shape, yet unmistakably Mustang

The clean-sheet design of both the Mustang fastback and convertible evokes the essential character of the brand, retaining key design elements including the long sculpted hood and short rear deck with a contemporary execution.

But key design features contribute to the Ford Mustang’s new look including the return of the Mustang fastback with a sleeker profile enabled by more steeply sloped windshield and rear glass, three-dimensional tri-bar taillamps with sequential turn signals and a lower, wider stance thanks to the reduction in roof height and wider rear fenders.
