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
