I will be going to Montana and Wyoming (Yellowstone) in August and will be covering 3000 miles in 7 days, that means a lot of driving. I will need to rent out car from rental agency (Budget/Advantage/Enterprise). I will not have too much luggage. I am not looking for big power, but comfort. Anyway,…

“Comfort” is an entirely subjective quality, and no two people will judge it in exactly the same way. Here are some thoughts to consider: For many people, “comfort” includes the ease of getting into and out of a vehicle. A small crossover/SUV (like a Rav-4, or CR-V, or Forester) excels in this a…

Discounting the individual differences in " buttesimo" comfort ranges…The seating for most people in an SUV in general is usually better. The ride and handling"can" be worse if you travel paved roads. You seldom have it all unless you get expensive models like a Highlander. The compromise is gasolin…

I would get the premium or luxury cars for comfort. Note that they will get better gas mileage than the SUVs. Total cost at the end of the trip is what counts. Also, you named a few vehicles that you might get. They will assign you a car based on whatever is available that day. While you say you …

See if you can find a rental company that still has a couple of Crown Victoria’s on the lot if you are looking for traveling comfort…

Stop by some dealerships and do some test drives. That’ll be the best way to choose what you’ll rent. Personally, I’d go for the Maxima, but as already stated comfort is totally subjective.

The Altima is now a mid sized car, like a Camry and Accord. I’d have no problem driving it on your trip, IF the seats are comfortable. That’s up to you to find out.

The sedan will have a lower center of gravity. That gives it a big advantage in handling and ride control. “You can’t break the laws o’ physics.” (Scotty)

Ithe Crown Vic’s And Continentals I had were among the least comfortable cars I ever rented. A subjective evaluation, of course, but that’s how my back felt it. They wallowed like a hippo on a wet riverbank, too.

The Altima is best. An SUV will use much more gas with same or less comfort.
