Estates, minivans and SUV’s... Why is it that we tend to regard all the big, bulky cars, the ones that drive like boats, the big, clunky, uncool ones as mummy mobiles? Why can't a hardworking parent drive something with a little bit of style and class to it? Something that offers a fair bit of luxury and handles like a dream? Something like the Mercedes E63 AMG?

Practical Considerations

Now obviously, there are practical concerns when buying a new car. For a mother, safety is a concern, as is headspace. Well guess what? The E63 is safe and roomy with four doors and some big comfy seats for the kids. Now that we've covered that, you don't have to feel guilty about drooling over this car, so let's talk about the fun stuff.

Why a Mercedes?

Does the idea of owning a Mercedes sound like a bit much? Can you just not really picture yourself behind the wheel of a luxury car with a 535 hp engine?

Maybe we can help you to convince yourself that it's actually a pretty smart buying decision. According to whatcar the car uses 12% less fuel than its predecessor, and it's really built to be sort of a living room on wheels. Is it a little fancy for picking the kids up from school? Sure, you could say that, but the car really shines when it comes to long road trips. Your kids won't be saying "Are we there yet?" they'll be saying "What do you mean we're already there?" In other words, these seats are hard to want to get out of.

Answer the Call of Adventure

As parents, we work very hard to give our children everything they need in life, and it can be very easy to neglect what we need. If you've worked hard all your life to the point that you can afford a Mercedes, there's no reason to deny it to yourself for some misplaced notion of parental obligation as if mum and dad aren't allowed to have a little fun now and then.

Essentially, as parents, we need to stop pretending that every new horizon is behind us. A new Mercedes and a trip to the country just for the grown-ups can be just the thing to remind you that life can still be exciting, even for parents.

The Perfect Mummy mobile?

The Mercedes E63 AMG may be smaller than a SUV, but chances are that you won't even notice that. It's spacious, incredibly safe, and takes to the road like a hot knife through butter. Take one for a test drive and see if you're not convinced that the Mercedes E63 AMG is exactly the sort of thing you've been dreaming of keeping on the driveway.
