Toyota Corona
-
toyota coronas used to ply the roads of singapore... their design looks very 1980s, but given the 7 year statutory lifespan and that they're retired only years ago, does this mean they were manufactured all the way into the late 1990s?
anyone has any info on toyota coronas? like engine capacity, years in production etc. i'm rather curious.
miss the feeling of ticking against the piece of light blue metal just above the window winder...

Ahh ... one of my fav cab models ... though they look small but it feels nice in terms of the appearance..
-
Hmm , Toyota Corona has gone a long way since late 1950's
-
My first cab is a Corona ...
Small , but quite powerful ( if aircon is off ) .
But quite light weight .
Hate the tyre , not wide enough , will skid during raining day .
And the steering , do 3-point turn , tired .
If 4 MegaSize Ang Mo gets on board , the cab basically is a toy , no power at all
I remember i need to off my aircon just to make my Corona more powerful up into Sheares' bridge from Suntec .
it's a pathetic machine .

enjoy your sonata now lah poolman...!!
think u can write your own book already lah... "how to be a taxi driver in stinkapore!"
-puts your face on cover with thumbs up-
oh just now 3am i overtook a cab driver who was dozing off on the PIE. he was driving 80 on lane 3 & head was down!!! -
Oh speaking of my relatives/cousin(Toyota), I kinda miss it, because of their cheap fare price too.
-
There's also Toyota Corolla cabs , very rare to see them ...
-
for me, i never missed old cars... they are not good looking, not reliable, not powerful and most importantly they are not safe... I am very glad to see newer and better taxis on our road both as a pax and a cabby

according to wikipedia, CT141 was manufactured from 1982 to 1987. which means the newest ones on the road would have been here for like 19 years? how was that possible in 2006?

You never know how reliable diesel engines are,and beside Toyota could still produce a small number of CT141 on an ad-hoc basis

that's so third world... like how certain models from 1980s are still being produced in china (VW santana) and south america (VW golf, nissan sunny B13...)i don't see any of the current taxi models that we have on the road staying for such a long period of time...
speaking of which, isn't the cedric long overdue as well?
