Planning to take my parents on a road trip and will rent a vehicle. What backseat offers the best views to outside scenery and decent comfort. Open to any type of model suggestion. Appreciate any thoughts.

I suggest limiting your choices to four door models, or vans. Trying to get into the back seat (and even the front) is greatly compromised by having two doors. I would suspect a van or maybe a SUV.
