Best Cars for Long Road Trips
Best for a Rough Road: Subaru Outback
Sticker Price: $28,495 (2.5i Limited)
EPA highway MPG: 29

Subaru basically created the not-quite-SUV niche in 1995 when it added big tires and a suspension lift to its Legacy model to create the Outback.

Redesigned in 2010 with more-generous proportions, we rated its latest iteration the Best in Class wagon thanks to its stylish design, strong resale values and heaps of utility.

The Outback shines when your road-trip destination is a trailhead, mountain cabin or canoe put-in reachable only by something that's not quite a road. Though not prepared for true off-roading with the Jeep crowd, this wagon's extra ground clearance and all-wheel drive will make sure you get there.

For road-trip duty, we'd recommend optioning up to the 2.5i Limited model, which gets you ten-way power-adjustable seats, seat heaters and the ability to add an in-dash navigation system.

The cool thing is this is the car I have, the 2.5i Limited model! The one thing it does not have is the navigation system (I use a TomTom for that). It says 29 mpg, but I'd say it's more like 28 hwy 22 city. It has a on demand mpg gauge, but it's off by about 2 mpg when I actually check my mileage by calculator when I fill up.

I spent 6 years in Colorado and going on 4 years in Utah. I think half the population in both these states drives suburus. They are excellent in the snow. You really get a lot of bang for your buck with suburu. Nice ride!!

They sure are. Never had a bit of trouble this past winter. One of the many reasons I chose this vehicle.

3.0L V6 upgraded motor.
Appearance package gave me the 18" rims and go-fast tires, upgraded cloth interior, some chrome(-like) accoutrements and the trunk spoiler.
It's basically a cross between the SEL and the Sport.
I love it.
And SYNC rocks!

Wife: 2007 For Fusion

I like to drive the fusion to work every now and then to keep the gas cost down, as I can drive a week and a half on a full tank to just work in it, compared to maybe a week in the truck.
