A lot of work goes into planning a summer adventure. If you’re planning a longer road trip, you’ll need to decide if you want to put that many miles on your daily driver. For trips like these, or when your daily driver isn’t the best, you may want to consider purchasing a used car for road trips. They typically aren’t too expensive and provide flexibility in regards to your timeline and destination. Check out these top used models for your next road trip.
2016 Toyota Camry
The Toyota Camry is just the right mix of efficiency and comfort, perfect for long road trips across the country. This fuel-sipping sedan can take you wherever you need to go this summer. Toyota has a long-standing reputation for being dependable and safe, letting you worry about where the road will take you next, not whether your car will survive the journey.
This year’s model has plenty of trims to choose from; there are also 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder configurations for those looking for more power. When you hit the road, you’ll want to know there are plenty of great entertainment features to keep all of your passengers happy. The 2016 Camry is packed with plenty of in-demand options. Entune internet access with smart device integration helps you stay connected on long drives. Features such as satellite radio, voice-activated radio, and MP3 player connectivity are all available on the 2016 Camry.
2015 Ford Focus
Stepping back a few model years will help you save a bit of money when you are considering a second car for summer adventures. You can find the 2015 Focus in a traditional four-door sedan or a five-door hatchback. While there are only three trims for this year’s release, you’ll find each one suitable for road tripping. The 160-horsepower four-cylinder engine is not only efficient but also powerful enough to give this small sedan plenty of punch when you hit the gas.
Similar to the 2016 Camry, the 2015 Focus has plenty of exciting entertainment features. Ford SYNC allows for internet connectivity and the entertainment console includes MP3 connectivity, speed-sensitive volume, and satellite radio connectivity. You’ll also love the safety features on this year’s Focus. They include ventilated disc brakes for better braking efficiency, knee air bags, braking assistance, and side-impact air bags.
2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
If you’re heading out on a summer adventure that requires you to stow a bit more gear, the 2015 Grand Caravan is an excellent choice. It has extra seating for larger families, tons of excellent entertainment features, and good safety features. The ability to stow the rear seats to allow for more cargo room gives you plenty of flexibility.
