Driving to Fairbanks Alaska

[DebbyM46227]

I just got home from a 300 mile road trip and I'm beat to hell, the Yaris just isn't made for a long drive - I also don't have cruise. The last time I took this same trip I rented a new Nissan Altima and it was nice. Next weekend I will have had my 2010 for a year and I only have 7000 miles on it, so you can tell from this I don't do road trips.

I think flying is your smartest choice!

Smart doesn't enter into it! I totally agree, flying makes the most sense, but I do a lot of stupid things. A recent very quick trip to Las Vegas and back pretty much non stop confirmed my earlier long distance impression (I bought it in Michigan and pounded the trip back) of the Yaris: I find it very comfortable for extended drives, but I will NEVER try to sleep in it with the seats reclined! SUPER uncomfortable, something about the hinge point of the back rest, I like it while driving, hate it for trying to catch a few z's. BTW, installing cruise was the first thing I did when I got home, that makes a huge difference at least for me.

Haha...I drive 300 miles roundtrip to work 2x's a week. A good portion of that is on the 5 going through LA, sometimes it takes me 6 hours to get it all done. :)
