The type of car recommended for driving in Rutherford depends on several factors. A compact or mid-size car would be suitable if you travel with a small group or alone and plan to go primarily within the city. These cars offer easy maneuverability in urban areas and efficient fuel consumption. However, if you have a larger group or carry significant luggage, an SUV or a minivan would provide ample space and comfort. If you plan to explore areas with rugged terrain or venture out of the city, an SUV or a car with good ground clearance would be ideal for handling uneven roads.
