Mountain road sedan is better to drive than SUV, with low chassis and low center of gravity. Mountain roads are not muddy, so SUVs are not needed.

Next month, I will be driving from Vancouver to Banff National Park for a road trip. I'm debating whether to rent a Toyota SUV (RAV4, compact) or a mid-sized sedan. I feel that the sedan is more comfortable and cheaper, but I'm concerned about the road conditions. Can anyone who has been there give me some advice? Thank you ? Canada Q&A

In fact, it's almost the same as in China. If you are a good driver in China, you will have no problem in Canada! When you rent a car, the website will tell you about the traffic rules and insurance in Canada. The service is very good. There is no toll on Canadian highways. The drivers there drive very strictly. When our domestic traffic is also like this, it will be a real strong country. Gasoline is cheaper than in China, about 5.6 RMB per liter, and there are differences in different places. Remember to fill up the gas (87 octane) if you have the chance ? Canada Q&A
