Even though I don't think I would do the Hana HWY again, this is a trip anyone can make. We took my wifes parents who were about 80 on this trip and they loved it. The trick is to leave before the tour buses head out. Otherwise you end up with no where to park in some areas. Many of the cool waterfalls have limited parking. On this adventure there is a really cool garden called the "Garden of Eden". It is near the halfway point to Hana and is a decent rest stop with great views.
The real road hazard are the tour buses. They take up too much of the road on corners. The main way in to Hana is the Hana HWY. If you skip to the 2 minute mark on this vid you can see why I like this trip and why I also dislike this trip.

The back road to Hana, the Pillani HWY, has about 6 miles of on your toes driving.
