does our every day driving dish out the same abuse as A taxi service
just wondering if our every day normal driving is any where near the same as A taxi company I have an 82 240d which I know they used for quite awhile, anyways any info would be great. BTW did they beef up their cars for taxi service or are they factory stock? thanks

Well, I was a cab driver for a year in the mid seventies. Yes, mine gets driven like a taxi. As far as I know, the taxis are normal production cars. Some drivers do modify them for comfort and durability. |
For many years Mercedes were used as Taxis by independant drivers in Central and South America. They were valued for their dependability and by being dedicated as a Taxi, the normal 300% duty on a new car was avoided.
I had the pleasure of being in one when the driver rolled it over on the mountain road outside of San Jose, Costa Rica. :eek: |
