Driving around Boston blows. Storrow drive on an early Saturday or Sunday morning rocks....but that's about it. I'm assuming you aren't talking about highway / high speed driving....
If you are looking for a twisty scenic route... head up to Rockport, MA 128/127. The speed limits are low, but the scenery is fantastic.
For rural...you need to go west. From Waltham take Rt 117 W --> rt 62 --> rt 85 and keep going until you are almost at 495, then go either southeast into Southborough or Northeast into Northborough. There are lots of fun hilly backroads, and very little traffic. Up 495 towards route 2, and off route 2 near the ski areas, there are some great little roads, too.
With any of these drives do it in the early AM, and watch out for bikers.

If you want to go down south of you, the Rehoboth area has some great back roads too.
