10 best cars for traveling

With the choice of the best car for travel, problems often arise, since the requirements for it are increased. Difficulties are added by far from ideal Russian roads - not all cars can withstand a long ride in such conditions. The machine must be durable, reliable and, depending on the purpose, also passable.

Motorists among the main selection criteria distinguish spaciousness of the cabin, the size of the trunk, the softness of the suspension, engine efficiency. Additional parameters - maximum speed, performance, throughput, landing height.

Everyone travels differently - you can explore the cities of Russia, go to other countries or embark on an extreme tourist tour of untrodden expanses. Also it is necessary to take into account the size of the company - a trip with friends, family or two. From all this depends largely on the choice of the car. For example, minibuses, minivans and trailers are suitable for those who appreciate comfort and plans to travel for a long time. Crossovers, station wagons and hatchbacks are optimal for city trips. And for extreme lovers, hunters and fishermen a good SUV will be the ideal choice.
