What kind of car do you recommend bringing to post, given the terrain, availability of parts, burglary/carjacking risks, etc.? What kind of car do you advise not to bring?
Only SUVs. Car parts are stolen often here. Everyone I know have had their mirrors stolen. Other cases have wheels, plates, and basically anything that is not bolted down. This is why I don't have a car. - Mar 2019
In town, streets are mostly unpaved, and can have lots of ruts / holes / detours. A vehicle with good ground clearance is recommended. Theft of car parts, particularly recent model vehicles, is common in my opinion. - Feb 2019
We took a Toyota 4 Runner. It was very good for the dirt roads and also there is a Toyota dealer and service locally at the main avenue. It was a huge car compared to others but it was the ideal car for the place. I would never take any type of small car or cars not suitable for dirt roads. - Sep 2017
