If you're about to head off on an unforgettable road trip around Midtown, a roomy SUV could be the best solution. If you're looking for the best possible price and plan to stick to city driving, a budget compact is a clever pick. All you need to do is choose what will suit you best, load up the car, and rack up those miles.
