A Beautiful Mountain Community in Panama
New, greener SUVs coming
I think that when I move to Panama I will definitely want to drive an SUV, for several reasons:
-It is convenient and safe to drive a taller vehicle in Panama, with all the obstacles that are often found in the middle of the road.
-It is important to drive a robust vehicle with larger wheels because of the often poor road conditions.
-AWD is important in ADM because of the extremely steep hills, especially on wet days.
-I want to be able to do some light off-roading when I go explore the country side for my photography projects.
-It is convenient to have a large cargo area to limit the number of trips to the city.
However, being environmentally conscious, I still want a vehicle that doesn't consume too much gas (or diesel). The Germans are coming out with a new generation of very advanced compact SUVs with very refined and clean diesel engines.
The two main ones are the Audi Q5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLK. Volvo is also coming out with the XC60 and BMW will revamp its disappointing X3. All of these will be available with clean, smooth, refined and frugal diesel engines that can give you highway fuel consumption of 6 to 7 litres per 100 kms.
