What are some cars that are spaceous, comfy and reliable enough to use on long roadtrips? Bonus if it can cope with rough terrain.
No sedans.
Looking towards getting an SUV/SAV, like a used X5, Newer Tahoe or hell, remove any chance of driving off road and get pic related since i've heard nothing but good thing about these.

go for it. Big 4x4s have big gas tanks and big appetites. No point in using them for roadtrips if you're not going hunting or overlanding. The outback has decent ground clearance, awd and drives like a car. It's probably going to be the car I'll use to cross kazakhstan, russia, finland and back.

An MB Sprinter. Grab a welder and weld some metal bunk beds into the cargo hold, put some 5 gallon canisters of water in there and hook up a fridge and you got an instant ghetto RV that will roll forever, run cheap and be easy on the maintenance. Can also be converted back into a proper cargo hauler with an angle grinder later on. Also exists in 4x4 variants.

also wanted to mention that the car being used is gonna be my dad's 2004 outback. Reliable as hell, not a single problem since day one, telepathic steering. Only thing was the engine required straightening the valves last year. Wasn't even noticeable.
If you REALLY need a 4x4 suv look into the pajero. Me and my gf's dad drove them stock high up into the altai region for hunting and fishing trips and just offroad fun. Extremely reliable and very capable offroaders. Can't go wrong with a 12x dakar rally champ.

I don't really need 4x4, i just need it to cope fine with really garbage roads and so on without eating shit.
>>14808316
I know E70's aren't really capable offroad, I don't think they even have hill descent control like the previous generation, but what i meant by that is casual offroading, no rock climbing or driving through rivers.

Go with the outback.

Why bother welding things in? Just pack a couple of folding camp beds, and just strap them down when you set off anywhere.
