Hi. Writing a script. A man has just left a house deep in the woods by car.

DIRT ROAD THROUGH WOODS:

The man's car drives down a narrow dirt road through the dark woods.

Next scene:

Road/Woods:

The man's car comes to/comes up to/gets to/reaches a road and turns onto it.

Question:

Would all four suggestions be okay here?

They all make sense and have the same effective meaning, yes.

I agree all are possible, although I prefer 'comes to'. That's purely personal preference, however.

As a native BrE speaker I find that the most natural option.
