If you're heading cross country by yourself, toss your bags in the passenger seat and take the Nissan 370Z, available in coupe and roadster styles. The new Z is fun to drive while being easy on your back and legs over the long haul. You'll be gazing at that interior for a long time, too, so it helps that it's just as nice to look at as the exterior.
