Top Road Trip Worthy Cars

  What is more American than a road trip? The two words conjure up ideas of exciting possibilities, new friends, memorable experiences and even a taste of romance. Whether your idea of a road trip is a quick weekend getaway or a blast across a continent, there is a vehicle on this list for you. Each is a worthy accomplice for a road trip, because each is the proper tool for a specific kind of trip. Matched with the right kind of road trip, each of these vehicles will more than fulfill your lust for the open highway.


1. 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA Class
   The Mercedes-Benz GLA is one of those vehicles about which you say to yourself, "I don't know exactly what this thing is, but I know that I like it." Part crossover, part sports sedan and part hot hatch, the GLA is not only a pure blast to drive, but also has one of the most involving interiors in contemporary cardom.

2. 2015 Mazda Miata MX-5
   Pack light. The 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata is not only the 25th anniversary edition of the car, it is also the last year of the current gorgeous body style. While available with a retractable hardtop, the Miata is best driven with the top down, wind in your hair, a curvy two-lane under its tires and preferably a blue ocean or green sea to the right or left. In that instance the driver's seat is like a highway to heaven.

3.  2015 Audi A5
   While the Audi A5 isn't the fastest car you can buy; it isn't the best-handling vehicle either although its handling is more than laudable. What sets the A5 apart as a great road trip car is the fact that it is a car you love to spend time in. So the longer the road trip, the better. From its understated good looks outside, to its perfect ergonomics inside, to the way its various engine choices respond to the throttle, you -- and perhaps a significant other -- will instantly develop a relationship with the A5.

4. 2015 Porsche Cayman S
   So the 911 is the car most people think of when one hears the two-syllable word Porsche, but the mid-engine Cayman S is likely the sweetest handling vehicle on the planet. The Cayman S corners so effortlessly it seems to know what you're going to do before you do -- the perfect road trip partner-in-crime.

5.  2016 Audi A3
   Small-car fans will like the supple ride and quiet cabin, and long-distance travelers will naturally gravitate to the fuel-thrifty diesel engine. So go ahead and book that longer road trip, you're wallet will thank-you.
