Your favourite car for a road trip?

Of all the cars I've owned, the Falcons were the best for long distance touring.
The best, I think was the AU SR Falcon station wagon. For some reason the seating position was better than the BA to FG series (more lay back, and allowing a more "straight leg" to the pedals position, as well as more comfortable seats).

Also for cargo carrying capacity, nothing beat the Falcon wagons.... Man, with the back seat down, you could fit a full size single mattress between the wheel arches width wise, and made an excellent "sleep in the car" overnighter. You could also fit two adult bikes and a kids bike quite comfortably... Much better than the Territories I owned, which for a large SUV were pretty poor in cargo capacity. The Falcon station wagons were a very practical family car.

The only car that was a better highway tourer was my father's 1976 Ford P6 series LTD with the 351 V8.... That car had the most comfortable seats I'd ever sat in, they were like lounge room chairs... Nice and wide and beautiful leather, not like the leather in modern day Falcons!... And did I mention effortlessly quiet .... You could hardly hear that big V8!

What I love about the Falcons, is after a 300Km drive, you arrive at your destination feeling refreshed and not tired... Where as in smaller cars, you get out and feel exhausted by comparison.
