Hi sjurick
Well first of all any surface is good because a car is a very tedious project and you should learn a great deal no matter which surface you use.
Probably the best way for me is to use nurbs (birail is great) and the convert to subds.
In my own post i am currently making a car using CPS. Not very hard but not as good as nurbs. this is just i technique i tried using.
So i say go with nurbs (great tut on Subaru WRX out there) or if you like poly check out Mikes tut.
good luck
