Not really. The Mirage is a hatchback so it will not be the best choice for a taxi fleet car due to a small trunk.

yung kia pride cd5 daming ginawang taxi nun dati. you only need a trunk if you pick up passengers from the bus terminals or airport. and what taxi drivers would want extra weight in the trunk for the same fare? di naman por kilo ang bayad sa taxi. if the taxi route will be on the cbd or malls you don't need a trunk. lunch hour na lang sa makati cbd boundary na agad sila kasi akyat-baba ang pasahero.

A fair number of people ride taxis after shopping for groceries in mall supermarkets, so useful din ang trunk.

And taxis don't really have routes, kung san lang sila mapadpad based on their passengers' destinations, so perhaps it's better to be ready for whatever occasion.

oo they don't have routes but the driver has a choice where he will pick up passengers. pag di siya pumasok sa bus terminal o airport (at bawal naman siya mag-pick up sa airport, accredited taxis lang pwede) walang ikakarga sa trunk nya na baggage. sa malls naman kelan ka nakakita ng shopper na may dala na 20 kilo bag? yes, but very very rare. mostly plastic bags lang. pag may sandamukal na grocery e di pass, next taxi please.

btw, a hatch back has an advantage over sedans. with the rear seats folded it can swallow a 36" CRT TV. or 2 balikbayan boxes. try fitting that in a trunk.

hey, i owned a cd5 taxi 20 years ago. i even drove that taxi before sometimes. i should know, right?

Ang hirap kasi magpareserve ng wala pang review man lang ng actual units na ibebenta nila dito e. ang review sa net puro yung sa Thailand

yung green unit sa PIMS yun na yun sir. aside from the aftermarket mags. yung OEM 15" mags yung nakakabit dun sa yellow na RHD. refundable naman yung 10k reservation if you change your mind. maganda makapagpareserve na agad.

a dealer told me Touch HU w/ GPS is included for the GLS. yun siguro yung nakainstall na HU dun sa Mirage sa PIMS. it is different from the THAI GPS HU. the one included on PH version looks like a china HU. looks cheap. parang yung nilagay na GPS HU ng mitsubishi sa adventure.

tomorrow hopefully makapagpareserve na kami ng savanna white GLS CVT.

mejo bland yung design ng mirage for me, interior feels cheap, par with our vios. the features are impressive for the price, may pre-order exclusive pa. i think it will ba a very good city crawling car.
