YACT: What's the best road trip car in your opinion?

[jagec]

The qualifications for this are

Good gas mileage (>30 preferrable...I mean c'mon, it's a road trip).
A good amount of space inside...should fit 4 adults comfortably, and it should be possible for a person to sleep comfortably in it (in a pinch).
Should be relatively quiet at freeway speeds, and have a good ride.
Cruise control

 

Ford Crown Vic or Mercury Grand Marquis

Bulletproof RWD drivetrain, okay gas mileage (though you won't be getting 30 mpg, for sure), and comfortable as all get-out.

We drove from Northern NJ to Nashville, TN in a jeep. The gas was not as much as I thought it would be, and it was roomy for napping, storing stuff and grown up stuff.

It had a killer stereo, too.

A big benz SEL. 560 or 450 etc

An old Buick?

Anything with A/C and cruise control.

Agreed.

And they can push 30mpg highway....

yeah, but mileage? Granted, freeway mileage isn't *that* bad on a land yacht...

 

[Blain]

Of course it has to be the... 1959 Series 62 Cadillac

 

[natto fire]

1980 Volvo 240DL. Best road trip I have ever been on was in one of these...
