So I am planning a road trip for the summer. Currently I am located in Minnesota and plan to head west to seattle Washington. Next I plan to drive down the coast to California. This is just a fun cross country road trip that I have been thinking up. However I don't know if I have the car for it. What kind of car would one of you take for a road trip like this? I am in college and don't have a lot of money plus I think I would resell it anyway when I am done.
What I have now is a
93 GS eclipse, this one is my daily driver right now but I think I am going to sell it.
90 GSX eclipse, this is my personal hotrod however not road trip worthy because it kind of sucks fuel
I don't really feel safe taking an eclipse, they aren't really known for their reliablility.
what I am thinking some of the quailities that I will want in this car are:
reliablity (I am pretty good mechanic wise)
Gas milage
this car has to be a convertible, I will consider T-roof or targa top
The cars that I have been thinking that would work
MX-5
Del Sol
what other cars would work? Just looking for ideas or other considerations that I haven't thought of. I wanted to take a motorcycle but the girlfriend didn't go for that idea.
