But sometimes even how good the car, it depends on the
driver.
My current crown is terok, alignment out and must be careful
about bends and bumps, yet I can drive it and adjust to it's
eccentricities.
In fact I am much better at older vehicles, in my other jobs
before taxi driving, my bosses sometimes ask me to drive the older
cars, because I know how to handle them and make them last otr
longer until the scrap period approaches.
Plus drive old cars, no pressure, small dents here and there
will be ignored, if you drive a brand new one, little bit kena, got
a lot of answering.
I think why Mercs and other better models aren't used here has
to do with pricing. In Europe you see very good cars doubling as
taxis. Here because of COE, PARF, ARF, ERP +++, many taxi drivers
will baulk at paying higher rentals for these cars.
That's why we have gone Korean now by and large, I won't be
surprised if we go Chinese in the near future, once the Chinese car
industry produces better cars.
Why not Proton...the boleh land car.....lol
