Being a passenger on long car trips tends to put me to sleep, and most audiobooks do not seem to be able to prevent that. So far there has been only one audiobook that I didn't drift off during at all: The Martian by Andy Weir. Unfortunately it looks like Audible re-recorded it last year with Wil Wheaton and the previous version by RC Bray (the Bray version is the one that I found so riveting) is no longer available on Audible. But if you can find it at the library or something, it's well worth the listen.
I agree with everyone else who has mentioned it that Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's work on the Rivers of London audiobooks has been excellent and has enhanced the books for me.
I've just started the audiobook for A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik and am enjoying the reader's voice a ton -- she really doubles down on the sarcastic, bitter teenager and it works perfectly for the main character.
