    Turks and Caicos, subcompact heaven!

    Hi guys, greetings from Turks and Caicos! Im down here with my girlfriend, soon to be official fiance's family and Ive seen a ton of exotic, newer subcompacts on the island. Suzuki Altos and Swifts, Toyota Agyas and Versos, alot of Nissan Marches, and even Daihatsus, which Ive never even heard of! Man, if only we had this selection in the US. All those American safety regulations, for the most part, are unnecessary and can suck it. An islander told me he bought a brand new Suzuki Alto for $6k! Ill take pics when I can. Here's the ring I got to propose with, not the biggest rock, but hey, I drive a Mirage so what do ya expect? Lol!Name:  20191224_125526.jpg

    Sounds like an interesting place to visit. The Mirage has very little competition in the States compared to other parts of the world. I haven't heard of many of the vehicles that you have already listed. Is fuel expensive there?

    How many huge 4-door pickup trucks and large SUVs are you seeing?

    Congrats on your engagement, too!

    Daihatsu used to sell in the United states. Look up the Rocky. Bad ass little ute. Tough, small, edgy, basic, and not plush....basically the opposite of what your average soft American desires.

    Gas is almost $6 a gallon here. The only big vehicles I see are Ford Econoline Vans for shuttling passengers to the resorts. Beware though, these little Caribbean islands are total rip offs! Everything is 4x times more expensive here, including groceries.
