Clearance is not a major issue on the dirt roads in most of Mexico including the Oaxaca area unless you are somewhere you shouldn't be in a car or light truck. Most of the dirt roads are driven by locals in 2wd vehicles without much ground clearance. The trick is to drive at a sane speed and keep your eyes open for the rare obstacle which will require though and patience to get around. What is more important is a vehicle that is in great repair, good to excellent mechanical condition, and for which parts can be easily found in that part of Mexico. <p>The saga continues. After over a year of sporadic research I have finally started looking at actual cars...I am spooked by the lack of clearance under the front end on Nissan and Honda vehicles...I will be driving a lot of dirt roads in Oaxaca...(though for long drives i will take toll roads)I am now investigating Volkswagens, specifically small wagons from 1990-1992. Any love stories out there? Hate stories? Post or write me directly. Muchisimas Gracias<p>
