All taxicabs in Singapore have to pay for the much higher road tax applied to diesel-powered passenger cars, which was intended to deter people from using diesel-powered vehicles for private use. This road tax bill is foot by the taxi company (except for STTA taxis), and can be as high as S$6,300 annually.

Mr wiki not very accurate leh.

Passenger diesel RT is 6x that of the petrol counterpart, so a 2L diesel will be $1426x6 = $8556.

 

A similar 2L diesel taxi pays $6300, irregardless of engine size.

The gap will increase like mad if we go beyond 2L.

[Unic]

You just need to open your eyes wide while driving in sg, no need to go UK

[Diehardsu]

I would like to buy a Vauxhall, please tell me who n where is the AD.

[Jman888]

Vauxhall is Opel, Opel is Vauxhall, which model are you looking for?

[Genie47]

I give you a clue.

 

We are the GM. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

 

[Diehardsu]

No wonder I open my eyes while driving I dun see Vauxhall only Opel.

[Genie47]

Aiyah why you burst hole.

 

Yes. Vauxhall is now under GME. Opel is under GME. Opel is Vauxhall, Vauxhall is Opel. What kimchi Vauxhall? GMDAT cars. GMDAT cars were Daewoos because GMDAT stands for GM Daewoo Automotive Technologies. Now Daewoos are Chevrolets. All of them used hacked Vauxhall/Opel engines.

 

That is GM for you. Resistance is futile. You will indeed be assimilated and then spat out as many names for the same kind of car.

[Jman888]

Use a coupe or convertible, very high chance no taxi.

 

 

or any 1.2L car and below, guarantee not for taxi or narrow down further, choose a mini, QQ, R2

[Diehardsu]

U neber say Vauxhall n Opel sound the same.No wonder cannot see while driving

[Falc]

may not be found in SG, but some of those small cars can still be found as taxi in vietnam.

[Jman888]
