Given the options here are Octavia or E Class, taxi jokes are going to come no matter what the choice is. 

Taxi drivers priority;

1. Low running costs.

2. Reliability.

3. Practical/space.

No, keep the Octy

If you posted this on a Merc forum they would be cracking up laughing or cryin!

 

You have a chance to change to a car that would cost you thousands more normally as you would get trade for yours and the the merc would be marked up at least 2k. 

 

It’s down to what you prefer?  but there is no comparison between the cars. Low end compared to high end. That’s just the way it as much as we try to fool ourselves. 

Think how would you feel later if you didnt make the swap.

Well I thought I would update... I swapped, in the end I sold the vRS for £14500 to we buy any car and got the Mercedes off my Dad for £13500... the Mercedes had only done 24k as well...few pics below...I will still be around though!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know the wheels look a little pants so I managed to grab these OEM 18" staggered Alloys for £400 which will be going on when the weather improves!

 

 

As for speed, 0-60 near enough the same as the vRS but It in no way has a sporty feel, but it is very smooth and a lovely drive! Plus at the moment with the crappy tyres it does enjoy spinning up the rears without mush bother lol
