What kind of drive is this?
Expect a turn-heavy local drive that keeps you engaged behind the wheel rather than settling into a monotonous interstate cruise.

You will find that the road conditions change frequently as you transition between local corridors.
Only 10% highway — the rest is turn-by-turn surface driving.
