QOTD: What Road Trip Car Are You Picking?

We have a story today about two of our contributors taking an epic road trip.


Before I got into this business, I always loved reading about trips like this in the buff books, and I'd love to do something like what Andy and Mercedes did someday.

But I don't know what car I'd pick.

What about you? If you had a big road trip planned, what vehicle would you pick?

You'll note that an EV was the ride of choice in the earlier story, and I initially thought about setting up this QOTD as which EV would you pick for a road trip. And if you want to, you can do that. Let's keep it broad, however.

Keep in mind that this doesn't have to be a trip as epic as the one Andy and Mercedes took -- it could be a relatively easy cross-country drive, or maybe just a few hours between cities.

Yes, we've done one like this before, but it's been a while and the criteria today are slightly different.

Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Loser I used Blizzak ws 80’s on steel wheels on my old Charger R/T. It did great in the snow. I prefer rear drive over front drive for winter driving, easier to control IMHO. I grew up driving rear drive 70’s beaters with bald tires in the winter and lived to tell the tale.
  • Loser A Lexus IS 500 or a 392 Charger.
