Taxi Sonata meets it's match? Chevy Epica LT

[Pocus]

Today I had a friendly drag with the SMRT taxi of this model. I'd say it's pretty fast, almost like the Sonata CRDi.

 

 

Chervolet Epica LT.

 

Anyone knows the spec for this taxi? I've never flagged one yet...

 

 

[Pocus]

2.0 Diesel

power: 148Bhp

torque: 320nm

0-100km/h: 9.7sec, a tad slower than the Vios.

For diesel engine, the 1st 0-60km/h is where it beat most petrol engine.

If yours black colour still got chance

Turbo diesel is good at picking up. When moving, they are just like any car. Just now a sonata taxi want to eat me, accelerate and wanted to cut into my lane. I also accelerated, end up he slowed down and go behind me. I just drive a puny jipun car. So who say need a 2.4L to tia a sonata? They are only good at picking up speed from zero.

Not really drag ah. I let the taxi pace me from 80km/h to 1xx km/h on a highway of few traffic at night for around 10secs. I need to keep around 0.4bar boost to keep up the pace before it slow down to exit.

I'll tell you this, pussies are the ones who make noise about the sonata cabs being faster than them.

To be fair, the Sonata Cabs were quite comfy despite the stripdown condition for a Taxi.

I ever sat on the petrol sonata before. I tell you the car is super comfy and the leather seats are real soft leather, not the PVC type found in the cabs.

 

I usually take Comfort/Citycab/YellowTop mainly cos they except NETS. Transcab only the Wish except DBS NETS....It's stupid to let Comfort Delgro monopolise the NETS system.

So I guess it'll be awhile before I can ride the Epica LT.
