V6 Camry. Seriously.
One of the most comfortable 1000km I've ever travelled was in this:

(yes, it's a bit dusty)
Bought for $500, driven between Wagga Wagga and Wollongong (and between Canberra and Wollongong) more times than I can count. Sold a couple of years later for $2500. Perfect road trip car.

I second this.
Enough room to put the passenger seat back and have feet on the dash.
between Wagga Wagga and Wollongong
So after my Vancouver-Los Angeles-Las Vegas-Vancouver road trip this past long weekend I started wondering what would be the best road trip car? Although 5000kms in a 110hp, 2 door hatchback is doable, its not ideal.
So far the car would need.
Cruise Control
Excellent heat/AC
Cloth interior (leather gets to hot and sticky)
Lots of luggage space
Enough power to easily pass on the highway and cruise comfortably at 140kph
Good lights
Nice smooth riding suspension that doesnt wallow and float when it geeds twisty
Enough room to put the passenger seat back and have feet on the dash.
What would fit that description and that you wouldnt dread driving? Nothing from the last 10 years.
Only in Australia, were you guys high when you were naming places?
Not sold in North America.
He didn't say North America specificly, he just said what car would you use for a road trip that covered certain categories.

People who put feet on dash look funny after airbag goes off.
You're discounting the incredible ability of native English-speakers to mangle any name not of their own language.
Its not something that I'd normally do, or let other people do; but when the last car you saw was 1/2 hour ago and the road hasn't even curved or dipped in a half hour then its nice to stretch out for a little while.
