Pisa is both mideval (tiny streets) and rural, with long stretches of single lane country roads. I can't recall what exact car we rented the time we went there, but it was a 4-door Lancia that had no problem taking care of 4 people with 4 suit cases. It was a forgettable as a car (clearly I can't recall what it was), but was perfectly sufficient as a transportation appliance.
Drive in / around Pisa was fine, though there is not much to do there other than walk around the defective tower and stroll downtown / along the river. Tuscany countryside, on the other hand, was awesome. See if you can squeeze a drive through the country and explore a few wineries. Florence is nearby, but best explored on foot (impossible to get anywhere by car).
HTH,
