Consider a compact car if you are in Lakewood for a short solo trip. Small cars are better than larger cars, easy to manoeuvre, and can fit in tight parking spaces. However, if you plan on exploring the rough parts of Colorado, a larger car with stability will be the best. It will also provide sufficient space if you have a lot of luggage. Similarly, if you travel during the rainy season, typically between January to March and November to December, you need a big car for its traction. This is because the roads can get quite slick.
