If you will be staying in the busy, urban, touristy part of Tauranga near the shore, the smaller car you drive, the better. A smaller car, such as a compact or economy car, will make it easier for you to navigate through the congested traffic. It will also make it easier to find a parking spot and to afford petrol. If you will be driving across more rugged terrain throughout New Zealand, you may want to opt for a more rugged vehicle, such as an SUV.
