That depends largely on where you want to go. Downtown Harlow, about 11 miles from London Airport (STN-Stansted), can be difficult to drive in. Make life easy by opting for something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to handle. That being said, Harlow is a popular base for exploring some of the rocky coastlines around Essex. If your trip is more about tearing down the open road, you may want a ride with more trunk space and legroom. How about an SUV or a full-size car?
