I have discovered Volvo (v40 t5) to be pretty good on long trips. If you are in Europe have a look at the latest generation diesel Citroën C5 with hydro-pneumatic suspension.

$10k and under. I do used.

Toyota Avalon

Buick Century. Comfortable as fuck, reliable, and alright gas mileage, especially on the highway. You can get a hell of a nice one for less than 10k.

A Lexus.

Late model LS400 be gud.

sounds like you need a grand tourer

something tall
i was gonna say honda odyssey but you probably won't find a good one in your price range.. maybe a mazda 5?

vans are goat for driving around, assuming you don't care what other people think

So, what, reliable, comfy, powerful enough for hassle-free highway travel and presumable reasonably priced? A decently-specced Camry, Accord or similar would see you right. Even something like a Kia Optima if you're buying new or nearly new.

LS400/pre-facelift 430
Volvo S60
Panther platform

Buick Verano with adaptive cruise. You can get one pretty cheap.

I lied. You'll need to get a Mazda 3 for one of the cheapest ACC. If you would like more comfort the Cherokee can be had with ACC for a pretty low cost.

Most businessmen who travel lots of highway miles around here drive either Volvo, Audi, BMW or Mercedes. Usually wagons, sometimes sedans. Think S60/S90, A4/A6, 3er/5er, C- or E-class.

I'd strongly adivse against Audi in the US. Don't know what happens to those, but once they cross the Atlantic, their reliability turns to shit.

>We aren't racing
You don't strike me as a BMW kind of guy.

Which leaves us with Mercedes and Volvo. You're buying used, so I'd recommend a Volvo. Try and look for an '05 and up model, the earlier ones are a bit worse in terms of reliability. They've currently got the best interiors in their class, and some of the best highway comfyness. Been in a V60 D6 AWD, that thing ran at 220kph like it was 100.
