I think "lo karce poi mo" or "lo karce po'u ma" or "lo mo karce" or
"lo ma karce" make more sense. "Which" asks for a restriction, not for
the set to be restricted.

In other words "which car do you use?" means "given that you use a
car, please be more specific about the car that you use", and not "of
all the things that you use, please identify one that is a car".
