[quote=”sprite”]Jap Crap box? Really?! I have experience with Jeeps and Japanese 4×4’s and Jeep is the crap box. ( I will excuse Daihatsu since I have only limited experience in CR with renting them
Why go for inferior US designed crap where parts are hard to find in Costa Rica when you could go with a better designed and better performing Japanese 4×4? The Toyota FJ Cruiser will do anything a Jeep can do and ride better on the potholed CR roads too.
Look around in Costa Rica and count how many Japanese vehicles you see compared to US vehicles. There is a good reason you don’t see many Jeeps.[/quote]
The reason you see so many is not that they are so good, but that they are cheap to purchase and maintain here.
Having owned a Toyota 4Runner as well as LandCruiser back in the Old Country, I can assure you that the Jeep is a far better quality product. And, from personal experience, it is not difficult to have it maintained here.
I have a ’99 Jeep Cherokee, purchased here three years ago for $8000. It has never failed me and I can leave the Japanese crap boxes behind while scaling the heights or crossing rivers. I have never had a problem with service or parts. And with a six cylinder engine, I can top the hills and keep the A/C on. 😀
