Roadtrip compact car or minivan???
for two days (one way) we took a drive, compact car, MPG-better-not as big a deal if we mess up or chip in the windshield or anything or minivan, more comfortable-MPG-horrible and although we fit in the car (only three of us and not much luggage) Car is one of the largest Nissan Altimas smaller and the truck is a siena both have a / c, cruise etc and sound mechanicly
I would say it depends on if the plan of dividing the gas bill in three ways, or if one or two people who are covering the trip? If 3 people are paying, I would suggest the truck. Recently I had to make a similar choice, with the smallest car to win, because gas prices return, but we decided that I would never again to return home.
