Any car will work, no need to get caught up in the whole SUV need, unless you want to check out the dunes. Toyota compact cars like the Yaris and Corolla are common here. - Apr 2016

Any vehicle is fine - however you are extremely limited at the moment as to where you can drive a POV - unless it's an armored one. There are lots of big SUVs here. Due to the way the locals drive, I wouldn't bring a small car. Gas here is about US$1.65/gallon. - Apr 2008
