Tired of long, tiring drives to work and back? Consider the 2009 Audi A4. Cars.com today recognized it as the “Best New Car for Commuters” in its 2009 Cars.com Lifestyles Awards.

Are you a mom looking to have a little added fun on the roads? Look to the 2009 Audi R8, which MotherProof.com noted as the best car “Just for fun” in its 2009 Family Cars of the Year award. Both leading Web sites issued their awards at the Washington, D.C., Auto Show.

Cars.com created its awards to recognize vehicles that are best suited for the lifestyle needs of today’s consumers in categories ranging from green cars to cars best for bosses and weekend athletes. The award-winners are the top choices selected by Cars.com editors from the site’s Lifestyle Buying Guide. MotherProof.com, a site dedicated to providing mothers with useful and entertaining new-car reviews, kicked off its awards in 2006 to help women evaluate the best models to meet their needs. Its awards are based on real-life experiences using cars and light trucks for commuting, taking kids to school, grocery shopping and the like.

MotherProof.com editors also recognized the 2009 audi S5 for having the “Top Latch Connectors” in its Family Cars of the Year competition. “It’s a two-door coupe, and the latch connectors work? Yes, they do,” noted MotherProof.com editors. “Do you know what we like most about them? They’re out there for everyone to see … . Built into plastic housing, the latch connectors are easy to use, too.”
