North Island 20 day itenary - Feedback please!

This is the route i'm taking. http://goo.gl/maps/M5ovB
Auckland - 4 nights (buying a car + day trip to Waikeke
Paiha - 2
Coromandel - 2
Waitomo - 1
Rotura - 3
Taupo - 3
New Plymouth - 2
Wellington - 1

Initially, i wanted to go to Napier to, but i don't know if it's worth the detour. If i am already planning to go to the Marlborough region in the South, should i skip Napier?

Also, any worth stopovers between New Plymouth and Wellington? I might break up that drive.

Thanks in advance!

Why New Plymouth? Are you planning on climbing Mt Taranaki? I'd skip that and spend more time in Coromandel.

Why are you buying a car? Not worth it for 20 days.

Napier and Marlborough are completely different. Except both have wine of course.
