A long time ago, there were only a few types of cars used as a taxi in Singapore. It was either a Nissan Cedric or Toyota Crown.
Today, there is a myriad of new taxi companies and with it a dazzling range of vehicles. Honda Airwaves, Toyota Estimas, Toyota Wish, Skoda Octavia to even 4WD Mitsubishi double cab pickups. Mercedes E200 are now commonly used too. No wonder all new privately owned Mercedes on the road are never white.
When I was searching for a used car with the lowest depreciation, the Nissan Sunny came up one of the lowest. Of course there were cheaper cars but this was made in Japan and it was a proper mid sized sedan. To me it did not look great as compared to nicer styling like the Honda Civic or Mazda 6. But hey, it gets me from point A to B. At least no one will mistaken my car for a taxi unlike the many Airwaves and Wish on the road.
