    I would recommend the Corolla love body, not the Vios because it's too small. Pwede din siguro Hyundai Accent kse available na sya in CRDi. Definitly not a Kia.

    if you want the space of a "compact" car, then your choices maybe:
    gas fed => nissan sentra 1.3gx = cost less than 600k
    diesel fed => hyundia matrix 1.5crdi = cost less than 700k

    maganda spacing ng Sentra 1.3gx. Not too crowded kahit fully loaded ng passenger. Also, it has a wide trunk to go along with, kaya no hussle sa mga baggages. Plus of course, people knows na pag Nissan, a/c is supercool.

    Vios is relatively small pero gas consumption is something you can look up to.

    Mas maganda pa ang body ng Corolla XE/XL (lovelife) for a taxi.

    parang dumadami nga ung taxing Sentra GX. no idea about gas consumption though, some early theories say it wouldn't be that good, given the heavy body and (relatively) puny engine. malaki lang nga siya kesa vios or maybe even a lovelife.

    piyesa ang advantage ng lovelife imho. sa sheer volume lang ng lovelife taxis, shops are bound to stock up (andkeep on stocking up) on parts for years to come.

    kia prides are surprisingly spacious inside, i know, i own 1...lovelife body is a good choice too... sentras are good too...but between the 2, 1.3Lmanual pride sedan(gtx) pipiliin ko:

    spacious, ok but deep trunk, parts are widely available, and far cheaper sa japanese, although its korean, you can swap things from a 323 here....powersteering is optional, but havving one is definetly a BIG plus especially when manuevering, which a taxi should be....

    1.3L on a lighter pride is more than enough than the 1.3L on a bigger,heavier lovelife corolla, much more sa bigger body ng sentra na parang bitin ka sa lakas....this translates also na masmatipid ang kia sa consumption....
