Kidspot Ford Territory Top 50: A Woman’s Perspective

I missed the Territory the last week! I haven’t been able to drive it! It’s been parked at home feeling very lonely šŸ™

This is my last challenge and then I have to hand the little darling back. Boo boo. But this has been so much fun. It hasn’t been a real ‘challenge’ as such. I’ve loved being a part of this competition.

Today I have to write about the Ford Territory from a woman’s perspective…

I don’t know about your house, but I know the majority of households who are in the market for a new car, would base their decision around what the female wanted anyway! We have a great deal of purchasing power (well I know I do haha!).

After being lucky enough to have the Ford Territory for a few weeks, I have now decided that when we buy a new car, I have some particular requirements…

This is my shopping list:

1. Leather:Ā Must be leather! Dirty, wet, muddy feet.Ā Ice-creamĀ on hands and face. Ink on my husbands work pants. These are the things I had to wipe off the leather in the Territory. Couldn’t be without leather now.

2. Bluetooth/Hands Free:Ā I love to talk. No, not kidding you ;). Now I can annoy my husband even more withĀ Hands-free!

3. DVD player:Ā Omg. Heavenly. 10 year hasn’t punched his 2 younger brothers for a month now.

4. 7 seater:Ā FurthermoreĀ to the point above – 10 year old has been separated from his 2 younger brothers. Ha! Plus, I can earn some Mother of the Year stripes as I ring all my friends and tell them that I can help pick up their kids from school. I gleefully wave to the other Mum’s as I come out of the school car park with a car loaded full of children.

5. Console to hide lollies:Ā Must have! Just must. Oh, and a cool spot for my phone to sit (you want this cover don’t you??). šŸ˜‰

6. Deep seats to hide the fact I am wearing my pj’s:Ā I do all of the school runs in my pj’s! They are tooĀ comfortableĀ and it’s my little secret that I live in them.. shhhh…

7. Happy Kids: Well, look at them would you? They’reĀ devastatedĀ FORD! Please don’t make us give it back. How can I deal with this?? From a mother’s perspective – I need to keep these little guys happy!

Thanks everyone for supporting me and voting. Today is the last day I’ll beg for votes – I promise. Next week it will be announced who wins the car and the trip to Blogher toĀ attendĀ the biggest bloggingĀ conferenceĀ ever.Ā God, I hope it’s me! Wish me luck and thank you. x

GO HEREĀ to vote.

    How awesome is Ford’s Bluetooth system? I’d be lost without mine… I’m always on the phone. It even reads my text messages out loud to me.

    Technology – love it!

    As a family vehicle, those characteristics you mentioned really makes the Ford Territory a perfect fit.

    What a cracker of a post, Katrina! Loving the PJ secret BTW. I’ve voted for you, of course – wishing you the best of British! J x

    I never go back to a car that does no have leather. EVER and blue tooth is a must and a car that tells you the temperature and keyless entry..a total must. I always loose my keys in my bag but now I don’t even have to take them out. It’s BLISS!!!

    Fingers crossed you get to keep it.
