Nowadays a lot prefer Epica They say more comfortable then Sonata. When I started driving Epica four months ago a lot of people siam. All ask me Uncle is it normal price? All see SMRT at the side scare but now getting better. Cedric and Crowns is time to obsolete. Pax rather pay $0.20 to $0.40 more for a more comfortable ride.

Those I rather not take sure very taiko one. Give it to the Cedric and Crown. "All I want is quality pax." Just a figure of speech. Poolman knows what is Quality Pax.

Not siding anyone, as paxs ourselves, pyschologically speaking, paxs will praise whatever cab they are in, because, if pax can please the driver, driver get happy, the ride will be happier. -

like that say,all those Toyotas and Cedrics,although obsolete,means they need to throw key? but they still can make a living!don't look down on them!

I really respect those TD driving manual car, tiring man! Especially during peak hours with all the jams. Clutch in, clutch out, shift up, shift down, half clutch when traffic at a crawl..
But please, if newbie, don't drive Cedric or Crown. Especially if don't know route well, hog the lanes!
If drive Cedric or Crown sure face cheapo pax that like to complain, if newbie sure don't know how to handle. Also will face a lot of rejection, so if don't know where to find pax sure easy give up.

what pntc say is true but never say look down on crown or cedric my friend drove crown/credric never had much complain on this issue i ever drove crown sometime face rejection but never had much issue i think iy is you that always kpkb especially on sonata and only sonata, when that when that took up a pax which you deem is your pax it is your mindset about it you got a better piece of equipmnt of course you got advantage you choose to drive a cheapo taxi of course there is a price to pay for it if not why don't you just upgrade to a better one and see what's the different? with a different taxi , maybe you will also do what sonata did to you but i guess you will not do it cos you never take advise and learn and understand taxi driving -

I think I am lucky.

Bro, me no look down on them. Met a few crowns driver while having coffee breaks. They say too much rejection, after midnight even worse. All waiting for hirer to change car.

I am very ridiculous.
I will always choose the cheaper model - ie- Cedric or Crown, then Sonata, then Epica and so on.
I will even cross the road to take my cab, as I prefer the shorter route as opposed to the U-turn.
But why ridiculous, because in the end, I will always give a tip which would have been more than any savings in the first place.
I guess it's the psychology, I don't want to pay more for the same service when there is a cheaper alternative.
Yet in the end, I will still pay more.
Dumb right? But guess it's my nature.
