Why only few Accent Taxis Around?

[Moonlighter]

Anybody, any idea why this is so? Is it because Accent is too expensive to be used as taxi and the 30+ km/L is just a hype? Can anyone here share the his experience on the performance and maintenance of Accent, either as privately used car or taxi?

Who would believe on a 30+km/l FC. Kahit pure highway driving lang ay napakahirap i-attain ito using Accent.

Since they are almost the same price of Vios (the lowest trim), why not buy a Vios to be a taxi instead diba?

Its just like using an underbone motorcycle 125 cc. engine with that fuel consumption.

Buy vios, Convert to LPG. Mas mura pa parts ng Toyota.

Cos of the badge hyundai daw kasi. Actually maraming pumakwaw diyan. Ramgen is the one punta ka sa garahe nila in manila.

I remember before there is one company purchase a fleet of accent 200 unit in HARI.

690,000 on a 1.5 engine?

Well taxi drivers who used this unit, told me that they consume only 800 pesos on a 24 hr service compared to gasoline.

Shifting * 2000 rpm.

Maybe because it is easier/cheaper to buy a Vios 1.3L and have an Auto-LPG kit installed. LPG is cheaper and parts for the Vios is easier/cheaper to source.

5 factors.

1. Expensive
2. 30km/l isn't achievable
3. Owning a vios J is cheaper.
4. You can add an LPG tank to the vios, with that cheaper fuel.
5. Maintaining a diesel engine can be expensive.

let's see what happens to the CRDi's injectors bet. 100K to 200K kms (this is easy with taxis).

[OldSchoolHack]

Vios is cheaper though not as hardy as an Altis. Kung Accent e di Altis na lang. Nothing beats a Toyota.....as a taxi!

kung nag iisip ang operator at meron sya malasakit sa health ng mga drivers nya accent ang bibilhin nya

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 .

We know that Toyota parts are really easy to find. Is it because a lot of them is manufactured or a lot of Toyota sedan's break down and owners doesn't want to have them repaired which tells us that the still usable parts go to surplus stores?
Not much is said about Accent's maintenance and parts problems because it's relatively still new. It is indeed more costly than a 1.3J Vios but maybe because it's diesel powered.
If this car has a lot of problem, why will Rangen keeps on ordering this car for use as taxi (assuming that they indeed ordered)?

sa iloilo,madaming naka accent dun,patok na patok. so far masaya ang mga driver kasi nga matipid daw talaga,kahit mas malaki boundary nababawi naman daw tsaka di mabibitin sa hatak dahil diesel. di pa daw natutuyo throat nila dahil hindi LPG. yan yun mga sagot sa akin dito at sa iloilo. when i had my car serviced at hyundai abad,ang usual na binabalik na problema is yun electric power steering. apart from that,matibay naman daw at wala masaydong problema.

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

Pinag iinitan na din kasi ng ASBU ang diesel taxis...

I spotted an Accent hatchback taxi yesterday. The Sedan (in diesel already) is more practical (trunk cargo wise).

saw this also yesterday along Buendia cor. Makati ave.

[number001]

This is what I saw along Rizal Ave. C3 yesterday.

[shibby75]

If i would be an operator/driver of a taxi, i would get the accent.

Ngayon palang kasi lumabas muli ang accent diesel sedan, eventually lalaganap ulit ito sa kalsada.
