I take my Honda Accord to Dry Falls all the time. The trick with bad roads
is to go slow and then actually drive. Most people just go slow and don't
pay attention
to rock, holes, etc. etc. Didn't realize this until I took a friend
on a mountain road and he actually trashed his pick-up truck. The Accord
did just fine.
Most fun I ever had was taking my Accord down a 4-wd drive road. That front
wheel drive is great for traction. I really enjoyed the reaction from
the SUV driver.....when he saw the rig next to the river.
The downside - it can't handle roads that are just totally out of shape. I
tried Dry Falls this fall and actually had to give up. VW made one really
stupid mistake, the put the propane tank on as the lowest part of the
vehicle. Going into Dry Falls we hit a rock and cracked the plastic cover
over the propane controls then ran into a stretch of road that looked really
bad and turned around which was hard to do in an 18.5' vehicle on that road
but we managed. I figure if I can get it in and out of my driveway and
gravel road it can deal with most F.S. roads with ease but Dry Falls is just
a bit too much for it.
