Well if your after a car with tons and tons of space in the back and front a superb is what to go for the space is unbelievable and glad I chose to get it. Over a octavia the. Legroom Ad head room is unreal you could have a disco in the back and today was my first taxiing day in it and had one old guy in the back and asked if it was a limo. really could not believe told him its skoda superb he said that there was Miles of room in the back really big nice cars and would advise one if your after a new taxi and many engines to choose from 1600 diesel and 2 litre diesel plus a few petrol's 1400 and 1800 and a massive 3600 v6 but sure no cabby would buy that

UT11, did you pay cash or have finance? did you chop in the Octavia? whats it costing a month if its on the drip?

my mondeo has room front and back for me (im 6ft tall and been on the cabbie diet)........better yet it owes me zilch and has today passed it LO inspection and compliance again. while it runs ill let it

all in the car £16,300 with the vat discount of roughly £2000 including met paint, full size spare, gap insurance but plus the 4,500 for the hire purchase its sitting close to £21000 but thats a rough estimate the paper work is in one of the cupboards doenstairs

Ive run a MKII 2lt TDI Superb for the last 3 and a half years, still runs as well now as it did at 6000 miles when I bought it at a year old, servicing is cheap at the local garage, other than a few Niggly issues its a great car and the punters love it, they think its a limo, normally I'd trade a car in at around 4 1/2 years but i can see me keeping this one for another 4 years, maybe longer.

If punter refuses to belt up dont move, you can get the seat belt warning turned off with anyone with a vag com diagnostic comp or the dealer can do it, they can also activate the NS fog light, and disable the central motion locking

im fine the way i am the car worked well today bringing a good amount home, i'm still taking my time in it but its a bit big in length terms as on my school contract the bays are not that big in the school and it overhangs by about a foot so just park at the door now encountered a very steep hill today with allot of snow on it and a few cars were stuck but the superb went through fine and the asr kicked on too so all working well and the people today were nice all wearing seat belts so that was good and the car now had 652 miles on it and going fine

Quote: depends on your work type, if its mainly cash then maybe not But if your VAt registered you have to Charge VAT as a Hack or a PH, you just become an unpaid tax collector. It's a bonus if you run a PCV though as you can claim back your VAT on fuel but needn't charge it on your services. "You can zero-rate the transport of passengers … in any vehicle, ship or aircraft designed or adapted to carry not less than 10 passengers to the extent those services are supplied in the UK " Another little sop to keep the Bus Companies sweet..
