Sometimes it’s all about the journey, which makes your car choice particularly important. If you’re about to embark on an epic road trip around Jingyuan County, a safe and sturdy SUV could be the answer. If you’re hoping for the best possible deal and plan on staying mostly in the city, a budget compact is hard to beat. All you need to do is decide what’s the best fit, throw your bags in the back seat, and hit the highway.
