These Are The Best Cars For Solo Road Trips

The 2024 Subaru Outback Continues to Deliver | MotorWeek Road Test

Gonna vote for the humble station wagon. I’ve done several cross country trips, but the best ones were done in a wagon.

The last cross country trip in my Outback was probably the best.

Haul you and all your gear and your bikes in comfort with zero worries when google routes you onto a “highway” in wyoming that’s actually just a rutted dirt road with longhorn steers looking at you like, “boy, are you in the right place?
It’s an outback so police are not looking at you as a potential speeder, it’s an outback so parking overnight at an iffy motel in Nebraska doesn’t get your car broken into.

It’s a comfy ride that, if the wind is right and you keep it under 80, will net you around 32 mpg. More than enough power with the basic engine even up in the rockies, climate control is fantastic even when you’re driving across the frying pan that is everything east of the black hills in south dakota.

The outback is an incredible long distance all terrain gear hauler.
