I shall begin with a quote from the commander of Dubai Traffic Police department in today's Gulf News.
Al Mazroui said four-wheel drivers and drivers of towing vehicles specifically need to pay more attention and abide by speed limits, because it is more difficult for them to control their vehicles on wet roads if they speed.
Nearly everyone, including the relocation specialists assigned to us have advised me to opt for a 4WD vehicle. My research on the Web has suggested otherwise. When we first got here, we were given a 4WD.
Back in Singapore I will never consider a 4WD. I drove an Altis and my brother complained his Accord was too big for his family. I am really enjoying my rental Accord now and we would probably opt for a Camry eventually. I can even double up as a night shift taxi driver with that. Just kidding. Yes, I don't care that most taxis are Camrys. I think it is a practical and wise choice.
By the way petrol isn't dirt cheap here, only cheaper than Singapore and about the same price what the US consumer is paying now, US$1.77/gal.

As a Camry owner for the past 5+ years, I'm very happy with it. Spacious, trouble-free and well-designed.
Thanks! The older model, I discover is most spacious. Went car shopping today and the Honda Accord seems more suitable for our needs. It is more pricey though.
