Boo!! You should get a Forester!

I did the Road to Hana this past June in a Forester, and continued all the way around and loved it. The back of Haleakala is amazing! I saw only a few local trucks and some rentals Jeeps/SUV's, but I did see one Mustang Convertible. We got a little nervous as the sun was setting, and we appeared to be the last tourists on the road, but everything was fine. Driving from West to East on Piilani would probably be a little more nerve racking since the ocean is on your right.

I highly recommend getting the book, or App, Maui Revealed. It had some spots on the highway that were not mentioned in the audio CD that I bought.
