I always travel a lot by plane but sometimes I also do a lot of road trips. So a lot of my friends are asking me, how do I select the right road trip vehicle? Well, my answer is simple. I go to Cars.com to check my options. You can start by selecting the type (sports car, van/mini van, coupe or a classic sedan) or by make (Honda, Ferrari, Porsche or even Rolls-Royce).
I always go for space and functionality. I love long drives in the provinces which enables me to see more of the nature. It would also be nice if I can drive a sports car in the city. Wouldn’t that be an American dream?

These are great tips. I have been telling my husband that we needed a new vehicle because ours isn’t great for road trips. We need more space.
You raised some really interesting points in this post. I would choose space and functionality too. 🙂
These are all such great points, I went on a road trip with my friend last year after Thanksgiving from New Mexico all over Colorado, or as much as we could fit in a week. I always say rent a car for the time of the trip, it less of a headache. I have a small car and we ended up renting a jeep which was perfect since we were gonna be hiking and going to the mountains.
I have never been on a road trip, but would love to go on one. Thanks for all the tips and points raised.
These are all great tips for picking the right car. I haven’t done a road trip yet but need to do one soon
We love cars.com! Over the holidays we found our perfect new SUV for taking over the mountains and threw the woods 🙂
The right vehicle can definitely ‘make or break it’ when it comes to a road trip! We travel all the time with my family living a 6-7 hour drive away, so we literally select our personal vehicles based on what will work for that
We always like to take a bigger vehicle if the kids are coming since we have to pack a lot of stuff. However, if the kids aren’t going we take a smaller car to save on gas.
These are great tips. Thank you so much for this information. That is so helpful.
Driving is generally always fun and I definitely agree with the space and functionality option. Great write up.
These tips are amazing. I really needed this because I think we are planning on getting a new car soon! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, what a great post! I love the design of Alfa Romeo.
so true for drive in the city the best is sport car and for long trip/field i think 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Diesel. Saving for gasoline and more space.
Wow thats so good tips. I love the 2018 Alfa Romeo 4C Amazing car .Thanks for sharing .
Before the pandemic, we took a lot of road trips. The key is to have a roomy vehicle with lots of leg and storage space.
For road trips, we prefer a high roof campervan with amenities build in. But sometimes a car works well too. Thanks for sharing this.
I’ve never used cars.com but I would love to check it out. It sounds like a great way to buy a new car!
I LOVE traveling by plane, but sometime it get monotonous and boring. Car trips are the solution to boredom. Thank you for pointing me to Cars.com. First time I hear of them.
I love road trips and the vehicle yes has to be very good, comfortable, robust, else the journey won’t turn out to be smooth. Good that cars.com provide all the facilities for a vehicle. Here in my state in India, we do have a company similar to cars.com
Such an interesting read! For road trips I always am about comfort, space, and how cool a car looks
these are useful tips. I’ve showed my relatives this articles and they decided to buy a new car because theirs wasn’t good enough for road trips.
What a fun way to spend some time in a dream car (or practical car, but I was thinking more along the lines of dream car). I’d love to rent a Rolls for a bit.
I keep seeing little things here and there about it. It’s nice to read some of the real info. Makes me even more curious to go on roadtrip now.
