Why only few Accent Taxis Around?

[harold13]

dumadami na din akong nakikitang accent sa daan now.
mas safe pa din ito kaysa sa vios na nilalagyan ng LPG.

[Horsepower]

Yeah, ideally, dapat lahat ng taxi diesel. Diesel is the safest in an event of a massive crash. Dami na rin LPG units na nasunog at sumabog recently out of the blue, kahit di naman nabangga.

Di pa siguro sanay sa proper maintenance.

I bought my vios 1.3m/t last year and sold it just this april. One thing I hate on the vios is that its hard to roll the car in ist gear, either it will dragg and the engine stops or you must press hard the accelerator and the engine will rev hard as if you are a new driver. My fuel consumption that time city driving is 8 to 8.5km/l. Because of frustration going in and out of different casa, I just sold it and bought a hyundai accent instead. So far so good in terms of power and torque and its just the opposite of vios. My fuel consumption range from 9.5 to 10km/l or more with same driving conditions of vios. What I dont like is the suspension, its somewhat hard unlike vios the suspension is soft .

Too bad the Accent has no airbag, a feature now available on much more affordable cars.

hindi naman kasi beneficial sa taxi operator sa Accent.

You sure?

mainit huli sa mga ASBU (anti-smoke belching unit) pag katagalan at mausok na ang unit.

mas beneficial sya sa driver due to fuel efficiency.

Wala pa akong nakitang umusok na accent kahit sa rangen or AA galang wala pang umusok hanggang ngayon kahit naka 2 years na.

Paano mangyayari yun CRDI sila..

OK sya kung yung operator ang magmamaneho ng taxi nya.
Pero kung hindi naman, mas wise choice ang Vios or Avanza J (taxi spec).

Nasa operator iyan. May mga operator ngayon (lilipat na ang prangkisa sa bagong unit) accent ang choice.

mas mahal ang maintenance cost (5k pms intervals vs 10k pms intervals sa gas counterparts)

Iisipin ba ng owner ng accent (private) mahal ang maintenance cost? kung operator naman hindi naman problema dahil may mekaniko na sila diyan

mas mahirap ang parts (adds to down time pag nasira)

HACP? or Banawe?

Yung kapit bahay ko operator may vios, rio, accent. Pinag aagawan ng driver ang accent dahil sa tipid P800 for 24 hours compare to gas P1400 24 hrs. Mas malaki lang ang boundary ng accent. Mahal ang maintenance kc daw wala surplus, puro orig. 3 yrs. na yung kanya wala naman problem kung hindi regular maintenance lang.

[speed unlimited]

Dito malapit sa akin ang garahe ng Rangen Taxi lahat ng unit nila ay accent. Ang boundary ay 1600 24 hrs. Sakayin naman dahil bago at matipid sa krudo.

meron nanaman 20 units na inorder si ran gen, will probably release it next week, pol anne transport has a pending order of 100 units, mge has ordered 150 units, teresita transport has initially released 4 units, stc taxi released 105 units, sturdy taxi and nine stars as i know ordered more than 50 units, we delivered 10 units last month to bethel taxi, 20 units din ang nirelease ni emp last month

vios j is cheaper by 100t, pero wala silang kulay puti so you still have to repaint it, then most probably convert it to lpg unlike the accent na meron puti at diesel na, ang laki pa ng discount kaya lumalabas na mas mura ang accent sa vios

para naman dun sa mga nagsasabi na walang piyesa ang accent compared to vios, let me remind you na vios po ang pinag uusapan naten at di corolla with 2E engine, kung 2E yan sandamukal nga ang piyesa nyan kahit saan pero kung vios i think parehas lang din siguro yun sa accent, u should try to pass by at banawe and blumentritt, dami po piyesa ng hyundai dun, meron din sa araneta ave

hth

[cocoy]

Sa Good Gear, sa Taft near Edsa. they have cheap hyundai original or replacament parts, and the sister company Fronte in banawe have similar price and parts available..

[renzo_d10]

Whitebug, wala bang puting Vios J ? Bakit ang dami ko nakikita Vios J/E na kulay puti pero privately owned pa ?

I was able to ride a Hyunda Accent cab once and it had so much leg room. We were 3 at the back and we didn't feel cramped inside. It's so much better compared to the Vios and Big Body Corolla.
