Thought the same thing Doc. The common tamil name will be Thurairasa.
Kuhan,
Get a nice EG 8 minus the rice part because you might have trouble with ground clearance. If you are just visiting SL and want a car, renting a car might be a better option. And trust me, there are NO sports cars in Jaffna. Mostly people have vans. You might also come across some Sunnys, Corollas, Marutis and Civics. If you really want a car, go for the EG 8.
