Since you mentioned car, I am presuming you are coming from the USA. As others have said, unless you have a reason to visit Tahiti itself, you should plan to visit the environs and Tahiti, in this priority, with Tahiti added just because that's where the jets land, so use Tahiti to adjust international flight and inter-island flight schedule differences. There are few places to visit on the island, but as others said, one day would be enough, head quickly to other island, the reason why most people visit the French Polynesia in the first place.

"Good food" depends on your definition of what it is. FP is not a US resort. The food is different; local and imported ingredients cooked mainly in French, Polynesian, or Chinese way. We enjoyed them very much, but I have heard other opinions.

Regarding accomodations, they are all medium to hi-end, pricewise anyway. Top end ones are mentioned several times in this forum. But you have to understand that it is a relative term. Here again, I have heard disappointements by those who expected USA type of services. The services and decors are more European with local twists. You should not expect a big US city 5 star hotel treatements there inspite of the similar prices. Having seen both type of services, the FP accomodations suit those who like to be left alone, unless you need a service. If is not for those who like to be peppered with "may I help you" round the clock.

History, hmm, I can't remember much in that department. There were few items from the time of Captain Cook, and even fewer things from before that. There is a Paul Gaugin museum on Tahiti. But like any other painters' home museums, all the major works are in museums elsewhere.

Car sightseeing, another hmmm, about the only thing that come close is a trip around Tahiti and Moorea, which should be a small part of the trip. Plan spending most time at the beach, in the lagoon, on a motu; snorkeling, sailing, and scuba diving.
