Car Models Popular in Ecuador, 2024-25

Bhavna from the Expat.com Home Office

just suggested starting a new thread on

this popular-cars subject since the old

thread is demasiado antiguo.


When I bought my then-new Chevy Sail

some years ago, a primary concern was

getting a car that was so popular and ordinary

in Quito that ne'er-do-wells would bypass it

and molestar somebody else's vehicle.


Due in part to parking space sizes -- often

smaller in Ecuador than one's original

country -- don't be surprised if your vehicle

gets nicked up occasionally.


I don't have all the nick areas restored.  It's not

a question of saving money.  I figure that a

popular car with a few nicks or scratches will

be less attractive to potential bad actors.


A dealership may impose outrageous

body-shop charges to restore a car's exterior

to its original look, so some investigation is

typically needed to find a reliable individual

or repair taller  as an alternative.
