Nissan Sentra GX (1.3L) vs Toyota Vios J (1.3L) - FOR TAXI USE

[Bry]

Guys I plan to open up my own taxi franchise early next year. My first choice sana yung Vios.

Here's the problem. Toyota doesn't allow the Vios to be made into a taxi anymore (wait for the Avanza daw!). Nissan allows the Sentra. They're both similarly priced kaya okay lang. I just want to know the strong and weak points ng dalawa.

Thanks in advance mga kafatid.




EDIT: I'm wondering how many kms/l does the Sentra 1.3L make? And the Vios 1.3L?

Also, maintenance-wise, similar lang ba ang cost?

Similar lang siguro yung cost... the only major problem with older EFI Sentras was the expense in repairing aircon problems, but I'm not sure about the compressor on current QG engines.. The Nissan will definitely have lower fuel efficiency, as it's a heavy body. But Nissan will probably give you lots of extras if you buy from them.

I think Bry is referring to the new Sentra base model (Gx?)

How about Picantos or Rios?

[niky]

Yeah, understood, that's why I said I wasn't sure if the price of fixing the compressor is still an issue on current models.

Otherwise, current Sentras are pretty mechanically solid.

Yeah, a Kia Rio would be an interesting choice for a taxi, and it looks good, too.

Picantos and Rios are also good cars in their own right, pero I'm more inclined to Japanese makes kasi. For now.

I recommend the toyota avanza. because it it fuel effiecent and can sit up 7 passengers

Present regulations do not allow Avanza units to be sold as taxis to have third row seating.

Parang sa Baguio, kahit FX bawal ang may third row seats. Or at least bawal gamitin. The last time we overloaded one, umupo na lang sa sahig ang friend ko. :lol:
