The roads along the Amalfi coast are very narrow and full of buses and crazy drivers and very crowded at times. You would not be able to enjoy the beauty if you drove, you would be so focused on not driving off the cliff and getting killed you would miss a lot. From Rome take a train to Naples. From Naples take train to Salerno. A ferry will take you along the coast to Positano. Stay at one of the many nice places (not cheap) there. Hotel Flavio Goia is where we stayed last time, real nice people and a great location. In Positano go the Restaurante da Costantino. They will pick you up in a van, just tip the guy a few euros. The restaurant is high up the hill and the view is worth it itself. Lots of locals go there which is a good sign. Not an extensive menu, but price is reasonable and the food is good. For transport back to Rome, take Joe Banana Limo for the 90min Van Ride (Mercedes vans) back to Naples - then a few hours trip back to Rome. I would go back to Rome and Positano tomorrow if I could.
