Question What are some good cars for long distance driving?

Basically i was thinking of attributes such as cruise speeds at low rpms and long term reliability for keeping the car for a long long time.

I would think that 4bangers are not exactly what you would want to drive cross country many many times over the course of say 20 years. Is that a myth? Should I be concerned about a 4bangers ability to stay cool at high rpms for cross country drives?

I realize that you can drive cross country in any car, but some cars are more ideal than others, i.e. you wouldn't want to drive a honda s2000 from orlando to seattle over and over and over again, or would you?

Default Comfort or JOY?

For kickback comfort, stick to the LS series, forever.

For the shear JOY of the experience buy an open top sports car or any SPORTS car.
