My mom is 5’2” (on a good day) and my dad is a very
arthritic 6’0 (on a really, really good day!).
My mom drives the grandkid mobile that hits Ikea on a regular basis. She likes roof windows and wants it to go
zoom. Oh! And she doesn’t want an SVU (she currently has a station wagon). Oh yea, I can’t forget she refuses to buy “Government
Motors” (her exact words). She liked the
looks of the Hyundai Elantra, but it is as low, if not lower than her current
vehicle (which my dad has issues getting in and out of). In the
Hyundai family I am pushing for the Tucson! I stopped by Hyundai and the nice
salesman spoke to us (I had my sister with me) as prospective customers who
understand what he was talking about, he was very nice and very helpful and we
let him know we were looking for our parents and we are gathering information
for them. When he was done showing up
everything we needed to know we headed over to Ford because we liked the looks
of the Edge. This salesman was sitting around in one of the vehicles (not very
professional if you ask me, but whatever). I told him I was looking into the
Edge for my parents and I explained what their needs were and he was talking to
me like a had no idea about vehicles because I have boobs! Let me tell you something sweetheart… I know
more about vehicles than my dad, I am doing the preliminary shopping for them
and yes, I will send my parents to the vehicle I feel will be best for them,
but customer service is HUGE in my books and you are really lucky that I still
feel the Edge might not be a bad idea for them, it is not coming close to the Tucson. I am still on the lookout for a good
crossover vehicle. But I really wish car
salesmen would realize that women are just as capable to go car shopping as
men. Oh! And the Hyundai salesman got a
kick out of the fact I could switch from the serious car shopper to the
girly-girl “OH! Look at how cute the nose is on that car!!!!!”
