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 Le Controis en Sologne, a comfortable SUV could be the answer. If you’d like the cheapest possible price and plan on doing a lot of city driving, a budget compact is a smart pick. All you have to do is work out what’ll suit you best, pack up the car, and clock up those miles.
