20 Cool Road Trip Cars

11. Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen

The station wagon is a dying breed in a world of crossovers and SUVs. Volvo, Subaru, and Saab have all moved away from the wagon and into the new age, but Volkswagen is hanging onto the wagon with the Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen. With roomy seating for five, 33 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats up and 67 cubic feet of room with the seats flat, this is the family wagon for those who can’t bear the thought of a minivan, never bought into SUVs and don’t want to spend on Audi or Mercedes wagons. The turbocharged 2.0 liter diesel engine gets a stellar 42 mpg, so you can save some of that gas money for souvenirs on your trip. A 13 square foot panoramic sunroof, touchscreen navigation, and a rearview camera are added bonuses to an already awesome vehicle.
