These cars are fuel-efficient, easier to park, and sufficient for traversing the city and suburbs. However, if you plan to explore more of the Queensland terrain, like the Glass House Mountains or other locations off the beaten track, or if you have a larger group, an SUV or a four-wheel-drive vehicle may be a more suitable choice, as these types of vehicles offer more space and are well-equipped to handle a wider variety of road conditions.
