I really don't understand people who feel like their cars are superior just because it wasn't made into a taxi. My AE101 was even White and NONE of my friends or family ever made comments that I drove a taxi. I never felt any less driving a "taxi model", in fact I loved that car with it's White paint against super Black tint.
My cousin buys Honda sedans because Toyota sedans are taxis daw but I never felt like his car was better than mine. Pareho lang kaming naka Japanese compact sedan 'no![]()
Do people feel less about these cars because it's used as taxi abroad? I don't think so.
Taxi in Switzerland:
Taxi in Germany:
Taxi in France:

I don't see the logic on a car model being used as taxi= inferior car.
For me as long as properly maintained at malinis ang kotse, walang sinabi ang 'superior' na model/ brand na lamog. Sabi nga sa office ng mga ordinaryong tao na walang alam sa sasakyan, mas presentable pa yung auto ko na 7 year old na Vios ko kesa sa mga Honda City GM at Civic FD sa office.
Basta nagpopost si philsat sa thread na ha-hijack yung thread.
Super OT.
Superior talaga ang pag iisip neto, we're not worthy.

AFAIK converting a vehicle for public use voids the warranty. At least ito yung sinabi sa akin ng isang taxi driver na kachikahan ko nung nabanggit niya na laki daw ng gastos niya para ipagawa yung aircon niya and tinanong ko siya kung bakit di niya pinawarranty sa casa. If this is true, then I take more pride that I drive what other less informed folks derisively term as a "Taxi" car. If you have thousands of taxis plying the Metro day in and day out without warranties, that is a testament to the trust that fleet owners have for this model. Add in the fact na feeling Paul Walker and Vin Diesel yung mga taxi driver dito sa atin, imagine the abuse those cars must be enduring yet they still keep running with minimal maintenance.
And I stand by my impression that those folks are less informed. Like what Ma'am Cathy posted above, in more progressive countries taxis are usually mid sized or executive sedans. I've ridden in Accords, Crowns, Camrys, Sonatas, MBs etc, you name it taxis abroad. Sa New York nga may mga Ford Escape na taxi. Imagine my surprise seeing a CUV in Yellow Cab garb
Bakit naging taxi thread yung MPV thread lol

simply bcoz we filipinos wants to make konting yabang lang naman kapag di pang taxi ang car ... our mentality is likely the same as Chinese when it comes to car brand. My supplier in China said if you wanna do business with Chinese in China, you must drink a lot to closed the deal, your car must be S class, BMW 7 series, high end sports car etc.. to be stand out from the rest otherwise, literally sa kankongan ka na lang daw magnegosyo. hehe
Sadly, this is true sir. I'm really thankful that I learned to look beyond status symbols early on in life. If not, malamang sobrang baon na ako sa utang ngayon hehe
BTT: Only car I personally driven among the choices was the Avanza. My two cents is if your main reason in getting a MPV is to get people from point A to B, it is sufficient.

ot: sa singapore honda(jazz, stream) , mercedes, chevy and even tyt prius ginagawang taxi.
true.
OT din. if you notice halos walang entry level ng cars on the road. Singaporeans prefer to buy mid/high end European car instead. super mahal ang pagkuha ng car registration. Ang fees ay halos kasing halaga na ito ng brandnew car. SG gov't discourage Singaporeans to buy private cars instead take public transpo
Pag bumili ka ng brand new na avanza at ginawa mong taxi e automatic na void ang warranty. (Base sa nabasa ko). So it mean hindi talaga created as taxi. Ibig sabihin ba nito mga sir at maam e duda ang toyota sa kalidad ng car if taxi manakbo ang car nila.??
Doon pala sa topic ko. Na close nanaman. Hehe.. Hindi ko nanaman napag tangol ang sarili ko. Hehe.. Pero ok lang napikon ko naman ang mga car expert kuno. Haha..
di ko sure kung san ko nabasa pero parang 1 yr na lang ata yung warranty ng sasakyan once na gawin mong taxi yung sasakyan nila instead na 3 yrs. di naman sila duda, pero ang reason ata nila dyan is di na under normal usage yung sasakyan once na ginawang PUV.
I think the reason they void the warranty is because normally hindi sa casa dinadala for service yung mga purchased units na ginagawang taxi. At least that's what the SA told me. I guess kung religiously ipapa service nila sa casa at required intervals, hindi dapat ma vovoid. But then again, the cost will be high and baka hindi na kumita yung operator kung ipapa casa maintained nya yung taxi niya.
Almost all of us take passion with our rides. Cars we bought with hard earned money. It is then but normal that you squeeze every ounce of pride you get from your ride. . .
BTT : Anu nga ba topic?
Yung warranty naman kasi ng vehicle is X years or Y km, whichever comes first. If ginawang taxi, posible na in 1 year ma-reach na yung Y km limit kaya umigsi yung warranty period. So reason is not because it was used as taxi per se.

Posible nga na hindi na nornal use ang car. Iisa ang taxi e dalawa ang driver palitan. Mabuti pa ang driver nag papa hinga.
Pero if alam ng toyota na ganun ang use ng most the car nila e bakit hindi na lang sila mag labas ng specially made na taxi model.. Diba? Even mahal basta warranty and sa ganung setup ginawa ang car.
Let's get back to topic please and avoid replying to out of topic questions. Thanks!
My vote goes to the ertiga because it is what fits my budget, quite practical, and tested na rin naman naming ang Suzuki. Avanza has too simple design, APV is from what I've heard a gas guzzler, while I believe I cannot pay the "prestige" of a Honda.
