    Although VIOS might get better fuel mileage in ideal conditions, in the real world stop & go traffic conditions in Manila would result in a fuel mileage almost similar to what you would get in a Sentra.

    The nissan sentra is spacious inside, cheap to buy brand new (less than 600K) and yet as reliable as any other japanese car which makes it ideal for taxi use. Spare parts costs about the same as other brands.

    Nissan Sentras are also commonly converted to auto-LPG so it would be no problem finding a good auto-lpg installer with experience on this car.

    a taxi driver once told me that they had a nissan sentra (current model) in their fleet. but after 2 years of use daw, bumigay yung suspension, di daw matibay... di ko alam kung anong klaseng torture ang dinaanan ng taxi na yun.

    welcome po. suggest ko, try checking:

    >hyundai accent 1.5 GL, around 680k, diesel fed, can do 20km/l accdg. to some tests, nakakakita na rin ako ng mga taxi na ganito, di ko lang sure kung tatagal gaya ng toyota.

    >toyota avanza 1.3 J, ang alam ko po may version ito na 5 seater lang, specialized for the taxi crowd, may large space for cargo pa kasi wala na yung 3rd row.

    >toyota vios 1.3 J, matipid, madami na din naglilipina na taxi nito.

    +1 on the Nissan Sentra. Looks elegant for a taxi and with proper maintenance, your investment will go a loooong way!

    The Toyota Vios looks too common and cheap IMHO.

ok na pang taxi ang sentra?
