    There's no right or wrong way subd modeling something that is mostly hard surface however a few points I think worth keeping in mind picked up over time creating this and other similarly aligned objects.

    - Try to keep manual editing at a minimum (either moving vertices, edges or faces by hand)
    - Maintain uniform edge spacing throughout i.e. blockout and various levels of detailing
    - Utilize mesh transform shortcuts (Blender) for vertex / edge sliding
      Shortcut GG - Vertex Slide
      Shortcut GGC - Moving a boundary selection constrained too a given axis
      Shortcut W (Specials Menu 2.79) then select Edge Slide
    ...etc
    - Also by adding geometry will generally improve overall edge flow

    In addition, here's a cross-post of a automotive WIP I'd contributed on a while back, with further insight modeling cars which may prove useful, as well - https://polycount.com/discussion/184989/classic-mini-cooper-wip
