Champion Mitsubishi Review

What's a Mitsubishi? IDK..What's a Mitsubishi with you? lol...

Ok, now that I have your attention. Let me get to the real conversation. What do you think of when I say Mitsubushi?

I think of racing. I think of young straight out of high school, college or single people. I think of cars, 2 door mostly.

Well yesterday I was invited to Champion Mitsubishi to test drive their vehicles.

I brought my husband along for the ride. We test drove these 3 vehicles pictured here. I again never thought of Mitsubushi as a family vehicle. It never came across to me as a mommy car, or work car. But after driving these vehicles, and seeing their features and price points, I can honestly say it has changed my mind.

My favorite features-

1) - Keyless Start, - Keyless Entry -Push button Start - I am a typical girl. I have a big purse and everything including my keys get lost in there. And now with a baby on the way, I am going to go crazy looking for keys in a diaper bag. These features are so easy to use.
2) -Tail Gate Drops - So I am short as it is and now I have this belly that does not let me function too well sometimes. So the tail gate dropping open was a great highlight for me. It is at cart level.
3) -Sun Roof - Ok so this was the coolest. The Outlander has a sun roof that starts at the front and goes all the way to the back. The kids would love it. Last night, starring at the open sky, it was beautiful! It is a feature you have to see to believe. It was nice!
4) -Manual Driving Controls -I do not know how to drive standard. It is hard for me to learn. I can't even keep the car on. On the steering wheel it gives you the shifters for you to control. It was fun to shift the gears on the steering wheel. I felt a need to speed there for a little bit.

With that said, I have changed my perception of the Mitsubishi vehicle. I can now see mommies driving them. Families packing in them and heading to all their daily activities. Their price points are low price points. My husband and I were looking at the prices and they are (only our opinions) great for starter cars, first time car owners, newly weds. It's in the budget.

So if you are looking to buy a new car, or used (they carry used too), go test drive a Mitsubishi. See what you think after the drive?

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CONVERSATION

IT’S TIME TO TALK: MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF AMERICANS HAVE NEVER DISCUSSED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
New Allstate Foundation Campaign Sparks Conversation During Domestic Violence Awareness Month;
New National Symbol and Website Decoy Make Starting the Conversation Easier
Northbrook, Ill., OCT. 10, 2011 – Even though domestic violence affects one in four women in their lifetime, more than one-third of Americans have never discussed the issue with a friend or family member. And, three out of five believe that it is a difficult issue to discuss. This October, The Allstate Foundation and the YWCA are joining forces to break the silence and raise awareness about domestic violence by launching a new campaign designed to spur conversation and make it easier to talk about the issue. Based on The Allstate’s Foundation long-term commitment to helping empower women economically to end domestic violence, the campaign encourages individuals to spread the story of the Purple Purse – the Foundation’s new national symbol for domestic violence. “Physical abuse is the type of domestic violence most commonly discussed, but what many people don’t realize is that economic abuse, using finances as a tool of power and control, happens just as frequently,” said Patricia Garza, Director of Strategic Philanthropy. “We are rallying people behind the Purple Purse because it stands for economic empowerment and represents the center of a woman’s financial domain. It’s also designed to make it easier to talk about the issue.” To spread the message about the power of the Purple Purse, The Allstate Foundation is recently launched www.PurplePurse.com. The website appears to be an online shopping magazine, but after scrolling down the page, the user will find a variety of information and resources specific to the issue of domestic violence and financial empowerment. The website serves as tool to raise awareness and provides a safe and informative place for women to educate themselves. PurplePurse.com will also enable women to start a discussion about domestic violence. It’s Time Talk About the Purple Purse/page 2 “We’ve found that many women are scared to talk about the issue of domestic violence,” said Patricia Garza. “Our partnership with The Allstate Foundation to launch PurplePurse.com provides women an unexpected opportunity to start a discussion about domestic violence so they can learn how to protect themselves and help others.” To kick-off the campaign, The Allstate Foundation and YWCA, along with top bloggers, are organizing TweetUps in nine cities across the country. These events are designed to explain the story behind the Purple Purse, share information about the issue and encourage individuals to help spread the word about the campaign. TweetUp attendees will also have the opportunity to hear from a domestic violence survivor at each event. As an additional incentive to inspire more people to get involved, The Allstate Foundation will donate $100 for each TweetUp attendee, up to $10,000 at each event, totaling a $90,000 contribution to the YWCA. The events are planned nine cities across the country, including Birmingham, Ala., Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, El Paso, Texas, Los Angeles, New York City, Seattle, and Tucson, Ariz. Individuals across the country are encouraged to participate in the campaign and show their support by carrying a purple purse or bag throughout October, posting their favorite purple purse pics to PurplePurse.com and downloading the Purple Purse widget also available on the website. This widget is a dynamic resource that makes it easy to share Purple Purse content through websites and social media channels. It is designed to ensure that more people in need will be able to get information that can help. Each year, The Allstate Foundation contributes more than $3 million in grants and programming to support economic empowerment for survivors and to help end domestic violence. Visit www.PurplePurse.com and www.ClickToEmpower.com to learn more. ### About The Allstate Foundation Established in 1952, The Allstate Foundation is an independent, charitable organization made possible by subsidiaries of The Allstate Corporation (NYSE: ALL).
