For more experienced drivers, larger four-wheel drives and SUVs make the rough nature of the coastal roads easier, with safety features conducive to the changing road quality. On the other hand, if you are nervous about driving a big car through a tricky environment, an automatic compact or mini will get you to where you are going with less hassle.
