Tegucigalpa - Post Report Question and Answers
What kind of vehicle(s) including electric ones do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, infrastructure, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car or vehicles do you advise not to bring?
Please do not bring a brand new or expensive car to post. It will get tested by the streets or the motorcycles riding absurdly close to you and your blind spot. SUVs are great for travel but for parking in the city, compact vehicles work better. Basically, bring what fits your family size/travel needs. You will be happier that way in the end. - Mar 2024

We have an Infiniti that is very difficult to park because it is so wide. Parts are a problem. If I could get away without having a car here, I would because the automotive industry here is pretty shady. Obviously I'm a little bitter with experiencing some shoddy work and ridiculously overpriced services. Further, having parts shipped here is a long and difficult ordeal. If given the chance to start over, I would buy something crummy at post so that the crummy mechanics could do a crummy job and everyone would have their expectations fulfilled. Most people get their windows tinted at post which can deter would-be carjackers who are hoping for cars with one occupant. You need a high-clearance vehicle just for the speed bumps, not to mention that potholes. - Aug 2023
