Mate. In short. You'll love it. The Georgians are the most hospitable people I've ever met. The Azeri's are nice as well but no-one beats the Georgians in my opinion. Stay away from the trouble zones (Svaneti, Ossetia and Abkhazia) and you'll be fine. Not sure about Armenia. Hear it's super poor and tough due to that. People are probably lovely as well. I reckon the Georgians are more European, where as Azeri's are more Turkic.
Turkey fuel is expensive. More than Western Europe when I was there. Black Sea coast is amazing though. If you like coastal routes. The mountains (Caucasus and Turkish) are great also.
Is that positive enough? May find Georgian roads off the main roads challenging with those vehicles though.
Being polite and hospitable is a matter of personal pride in this part of the world.
