Eugn86 3rd Gear July 2, 2011 Share July 2, 2011 Wow nice! Hyundai i30SW... does it comes with sunroof? Actually in Singapore... midsize cars are just nice for taxi use... less costly for the taxi drivers to maintain too which in turn allow them to bring home slightly more home.

Lightspeed Clutched July 2, 2011 Share July 2, 2011 Power for the 1.6 diesel powerplant is pretty low ... depending on which engine, power is rated at only around 114bhp assuming the taxis are mated to an automatic gearbox....
