serenade 6th Gear January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 The Sonata torque may not be the highest, but the taxi drivers have no qualms at frequently flooring the accelerator to beat us at the lights. After all maintenance cost is part of their daily rental so wear on engine and power train by regular fierce acceleration is not the driver's worry. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fastest car in the world according to Top Gear is a rented car and taxis are rented car. I would never burn my clutch at the lights to win a drag race as I have to pay for my own clutch. Taxi drivers don't need to pay for a worn out parts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a rented proton persona annoying a GT-R who had to slow down for every hump down Genting. I just floored it thru the humps. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
