How about a triple black corvette convertible 6 speed?
A 1974 Dodge Monaco with a 440 plant. ...and cop tires, cop suspension,and cop shocks....
I own the Sienna, road trip from Florida to Maine every year.
Its the best vehicle for it I’ve ever owned. The Suburban is good, but the Sienna is tops. Everyone is very comfortable, with almost as much usable storage space as the Suburban (no kidding). We love it.
Great gas mileage to. About 27mpg at 75mph.
If I’m not mistaken every one of those cars will put the kids out of smacking range if mom and dad are in the front. Important feature for long trips IMHO.
I recommend the highly rated 2008 Mercury Sable for any road-trip. It has a new 3.5L V-6 engine, winner of Ward's 10 Best Engines award, with a standard six-speed automatic transmission. And inside it has voice-control of the SYNC communications and entertainment system. Rated the safest full-size sedan in America, Sable also has six standard airbags and all-wheel drive. Plus the trunk is huge with room for 6 golf bags.
Gee, what a timely subject, what with gas at $4 per gallon...
Traveling light.
Elitist cr*p. Nothing is better than a mini-van with TV’s and a cooler full of sandwiches and drinks.
Last year I had use of a Chrysler 300C (hemi) and I put 1300 road trip miles on it.
Saaaa-weeeet!
Cruised the Ozarks like a Beemer. Handled very well with lots of power. And 25 MPG highway at 65-70 MPH.
No road-trip list is complete without the 300C.
Surprisingly, only one SUV made the list, and that was the Lexus RX.
“It's like a mid-sixed luxury car, only elevated and with more utility,” said Shenhar. “But it drives. It's very quiet and it's very refined. It rides comfortably. It has a quiet engine and gets pretty good fuel economy, too.”
My wife has one of these and last year we went on a roadtrip and it was a pleasure. Except when she wouldn't let us get back in the car with sand on us.
On the way back I definitely did not see how fast it would go on the highway and found it would do over 100 and still not wake her up. No I definitely did NOT do that.
Jaguar XJ8
This will require a vehicle that can kick some ass and to do so read Car & Driver or Road and Track, not a lame publication like Consumer Reports.
Isn't that the lame magazine liberals and soccer moms read?
I couldn’t imagine putting our family of 5 in an extended road trip in any other vehicle than our Expedition EL. I love it! The gas mileage stinks at 19 mpg, but the comfort and drive is absolutely fantastic.
Anything by Tom Petty is a good start.
I’ve got the best road trip vehicle. It’s a Chevy Explorer conversion van with a 22-inch flat screen TV, DVD and VHS players, and Playstation hookups. It’s very roomy, comfortable, and its V8 gets 18 mpg on the highway. It can tow up to about 6000 pounds.
Best or most boring?
