answer - Mar 2024
I highly recommend an SUV as roads can be bad here. We do know people with regular cars and vans, but if they are going to drive outside the normal circuit they typically have an SUV as well. People often sell their cars when they leave, so we bought used and have been happy with it. Getting around when you first get here can be quite stressful, and I wouldn't have wanted to wait months for my new car to arrive. - Mar 2024
SUV with high clearance! Between unmarked speed bumps (which are everywhere), potholes, crumbling roads, flooding, and whenever you might want to go out of town, no other car would hold up. - Aug 2023
