Summer is almost upon us and many families are busy planning their summer road trips to make the most out of the cloudless skies and warm weather. Of course, you'd need a great car to take you on an awesome summer road trip around Mississippi. If you've set your sights on buying a car but don't want to spend on a brand new one, check out dealerships that offer used cars around Baton Rouge. In particular, you may want to take a closer look at an older Subaru Outback model. According to an article from Car Gurus, the Outback tops the list of the best cars for road trips.
Drive to the Coast
Near the waters is where you would want to take your Subaru Outback. Where better to have fun than the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where the whole family can swim, fish and enjoy the local food. The Outback features a brilliant all-wheel-drive system, which allows better control and stability in any weather and even on rough roads. The Outback also features excellent cargo carrying capacity, with enough room to stash your fishing gear, a fully-loaded picnic basket and any other carry-ons you might want to bring along,without cramping your passengers.
Go Off the Road
No road trip around Mississippi is ever complete without taking your vehicle off-road. According to the Auto Blog, the 2012 Subaru Outback excels on unpaved forest roads and gravel roads, which is perfect if you don't want to stay in the city the whole time. The Outback's suspension is highly capable of handling rough terrains and even slippery roads. The boxer engine also helps the Outback by delivering plenty of torque for accelerating up any Mississippi off road trails.
Head to the Highway
If you fancy some long distance driving to and from Mississippi, the Outback is just as capable on the smooth highway. It offers a solid driving experience on the roads, with less body roll and more comfortable corner turns due to its top notch suspension. You also don't have to worry if you encounter some cracked surfaces or highway bumps along the way since the Outback is built to provide utmost comfort to its passengers.
Road trips during the summer is a cost-efficient option for summertime family bonding, and it all starts with a great car. You can find quality used cars from Baton Rouge dealerships and others, such as Baldwin Subaru in Covington.
