Geelong is a coastal city located in the state of Victoria, with diverse terrains, ranging from urban areas with densely populated streets to scenic coastal routes with winding roads. Therefore, the type of car recommended for driving in Geelong would be a compact SUV. Compact SUVs are ideal for handling both crowded city streets and scenic coastal routes, as they are easy to maneuver and have good visibility. These cars are also good for handling turns and corners, which are common in Geelong's scenic routes.

In Geelong, the speed limit varies depending on the type of road and the zone. In residential areas, the default speed limit is typically 50 km/h (31 mph), unless otherwise signposted.

On main roads and highways, the speed limit is generally 60-80 km/h (37-50 mph). In some areas outside of the city, the speed limit may be as high as 100-110 km/h (62-68 mph) on highways and freeways.
