Rental higher could be a reason. Most are old birds, I saw a few times kenna book at expressway. They also quite difficult to get relief, rental too high for relief, but diesel consumption is surpisingly low for mercedes, this German engine really make very well, fine and smooth, good fuel nozzle, no diesel leak. Their Rpm very constant and smooth, unlike jap and korean, sometime press only, diesel $0.10cent gone, sometime ok, that is why sometime you notice your wish or sonata can pick up so fast, sometime cannot.
But you right, they like to drive fast and cut in here and there, afterall, they are consider Limo, a class higher maybe, some lan si lan yong type, some are good, same same lah
Last time I drove crown, I also speed, with mannual changing gear, Crown is a sport car, very good to drive, drive until one day, the gear shaft also come out, pax asked me why so slow, i said, no gear to change, now on second gear all the way, get scolded all the way.

If you have driven one, you'll understand why we like to drive fast.
Good brakes & handling makes it easy to zoom around.
But on a wet road, not safe to drive fast as the tyres are of no good quality.
And no stunt when pax on board especially when they pay limo fare.

If you take in the low fuel consumption, overall overhead is about the same as sonata.
In fact, most times I see sonatas getting booked along ECP.

Merc rear seat is very 'deep-in' and difficult to get up. I happened to see the 'red' of ladies when I drove Merc last time.
So pai-sei... Mmmm

Because most merc ah pek has very small bladder and the seats (sitting position) even compress it further ???
Hahaha, you read too much into this lah bro.
But then again, how come you have so many bad encounters with merc drivers ah? You'd better watch your back, seems like they are targeting you ;-p
I think these kinds of stunts you mentioned, any other colour cabs also have lah. There are good and bad drivers in any groups.
Prejudice from the start .
