Hmm guys......Which taxi do you prefer ? Toyota Crown or Nissan Cedric? Ease of maintainance as reason not valid.. I prefer Nissan Cedric...Toyota Crown if the driver skills lousy can easy get motion sickness. I kena alot of times liao...Nissan cedric is more stable to me....However, Toyota Crown's aircon more strong. But i still prefer Nissan Cedric. Cool Mr. Green

I'll have to go with the Nissan Cedric as my choice Cool

Dude, u got the same taste as mine. Cool Very Happy Cool

Anyway, which one is more ex arh? Cedric or Crown?

(PS: If only there are more Cedric on the roads than Crown. I love Cedric because they are more stable on the road. So, Cedrics are the B10Ms of the taxis, Crown is the O.405s, cuz crown has good acceleration and speed.) Cool

You mean the taxi alone? Or with the driver as an added element in the respective taxis?

I have no preference, its more of the taxi driver that makes the day in my taxi trip that matters.

SMRT Buses SG

Well, regret to inform you that I'm not too sure which is more ex but perhaps you could ask the drivers of both models & find out the answer but I'll just make a wild guess that the Crown is more ex Rolling Eyes

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Most probably bah...Cuz the Crown is 3litre diesel, whereas Cedric comes in at 2.7. SO maybe the one with the larger engine is more ex? But if its in terms of maintainance, Cedric cost more i think, according to some forumnites here.

Oh btw, wonder what will happen if the 3litre engine got turbo installed? If i got the Cedric, i will defitely install a turbo on it ! (Ofcuz, if the engine can support turbo) Very Happy Mr. Green

Yeah..agree with all the Cedrics lover here..the Cedric has a more controlled ride..the Crown will throw u everywhere..and it's suspension is SO soft, that if the driver drives SLIGHTLY too fast over a bump, the wheel will hit the bumpstops..lol..what crap..the suspension in the Crown is really like pudding.. Laughing

Hmm , I think i will go for Nissan Cedric , Hyundai Sonata and Ssangyong Rodius (maybe you guys find it ugly due to the exterior but im ok with it). But for Nissan Cedric , i think is nicer than the Crowns , seriously , especially the engine sounds , although it may look slightly older than the Toyota Crowns

swee_heng SG

me too. I prefer Nissan Cedric , more stable , firm & when i goes fast its quiet , Toyota Crown is noisy when it run fast even though the Cedrics has an older design. Btw , i heard that Euro 4 Toyota Crowns will be out next year , wonder will we get to see anymore Nissan taxis anot?

cedric better, crown chiong on PIE not so stable

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Esp along the eunos that part (or is it eunos?), the part where the construction for the KPE is. When the driver chiong along the highway and theres a steep bump/drop, the taxi (crown) will have a hard thud and is very uncomfortable. Mad

Me n my dad say "LOUSY SUSPENSION!" Laughing

Cedric sounds alot nicer than the crowns IMO and crowns are very noisy if trottle is fully floored. Altho older, even the cedric seats is nicer to seat on. Very Happy

Everytime take taxi and i see a cedric i will if i see a crown i will Evil or Very Mad

swee_heng SG

Some Nissan Cedrics or even Toyota Crown cabbies say that Crowns are noisy & sometimes shakes alot they are not stable as Nissans & taxi accidents mostly happened by Crowns.

Volvo Olympian SG

Hmm , again a lot of people like Nissan Cedric's Very Happy , i think the Crown's suspension is no good , as what some people mention here and i agree it. But i think Comfort has the most (or rather all) Crowns and Transcab.

Scania N113CRB luver SG

Crown's suspension sux. If the taxi goes over a hump at high speed (or maybe even medium) theres a thump and a loud thud sound. Confused

Volvo Olympian SG

and you jump up and down at the seats Laughing

SMRT Buses SG

It makes it worse if one has piles Rolling Eyes

alleggerita SG

The Crown's suspension indeed sucks..lol..it has one of the softest suspension settings I have ever came across..it's so soft that whenever it goes over a hump just slightly more enthusiatically, it'll hit the bumpstops..haha.. Mr. Green

swee_heng SG

when the crown runs in the expressway , u often see them shaking like 'dancing '
