It takes a special kind of couple to navigate the challenges that a travel experience brings, and many are choosing to face these issues head on with a road trip. At the end of the day, however, most of these lovebirds are finding that only good things come about from a highway adventure. 

A new survey from Ford and the dating site YourTango.com found that road trips are a great way for people to grow closer to their significant other. Approximately 90 percent of couples who have taken these vacations with their partners say it ultimately strengthened the relationship, and as many as 77 percent of those people look forward to taking a similar trip again. 

When couples decide to embark on a road trip, many get behind the wheel of a sedan. A comfortable interior and better mileage are among the main reasons sedans outrank their larger counterparts when it comes to being the car of choice for lovebirds. 

"More and more couples are taking road trips due to the high cost of airfare, and because it gives you the opportunity to take your vehicle with you to explore new places," said Ford Fusion marketing manager Samantha Hoyt. "We're excited most couples choose a sedan to travel in, and we've designed the Fusion to meet the needs of couples who enjoy getaways by providing an inviting and comfortable interior in a car that is really fun to drive."
