my dad thinking of changing to Hybrid camry when his contract with prime expire.

I'm from the old school, IMHO I will not buy a car which are use as Taxi. Tis is my opinion, juz like to hear from bros n sis.

 

To each his own. To me, if I do not mind driving a very commonly-seen vehicle, I'm fine with it. To me, driving the same model as taxi drivers somehow makes me feel better in a sense that taxi drivers clock very high mileage and are able to detect any common fault or breakdowns. If I need any help, I can always flag a cab and ask for help easily

maybe BM dun wan to sell?

Axio and wish became taxis

[Coupecabriolet]

different people different mentality.

 

i think there are 2 main groups of people here.

 

1. will buy same car as taxis because they are proven to be durable, reliable and easy to maintain

2. will not buy the same car as taxis because do not want to be seen as driving a taxi-car, wants to be more exclusive

Now with PHV, it is difficult to name cars that have not been used as "taxis" ! PHVs are like taxis too!

 

On the other hand, one can take comfort that the car is able to withstand the stress as a taxi, it should be reliable!

Nowadays no 2 a little hard unless one is driving super expensive car like BMW 7 series, Bentley, lambo, ferrari, Mercedes benz SLK and etc.

 

Cars like BMW 5 series, BMW 3 series, Mercedes benz e class, Mercedes benz cla class, lexus lx, Toyota camry, Toyota alphard/vellfire and etc. All have drivers driving phv either part time or full time.

 

So now I think it's hard to escape that trend unless one is very loaded with money.

If you do not want to be seen driving a car used as taxi or PHV, suggest you choose the Perodua Axia, MYVI or Bezza.

 

Guaranteed none are used as taxi or PHV in Singapore.

 

Will not make you lose face.

This is possible, if one is rich, buy premium non taxi car. If one is not rich but want face like me, drive taxi car only after they scrap those model, meaning COE car.

NMNT, what to do?
