Surface alone doesn't tell you enough. A standard car can handle just about any surface except mud, as long as it's relatively smooth and flat. I drive a 2WD car that is about as far from the ground as my cat, but about once a month, I travel along a 3km-long driveway that's a mixture of rocky soil, loose gravel/pebbles, and bedrock. There unsealed roads in the area with what most people would call a better surface that I've had difficulty with when dry and wouldn't dare try in the rain. -- David J.
