It should provide enough comfort for longer drives, while still being easy to manoeuvre in urban areas. However, keep in mind that Whangarei's surroundings include rugged landscapes and off-the-beaten-path destinations. If you intend to venture into more remote areas, or encounter gravel or unpaved roads, an AWD or 4WD vehicle may be beneficial.
