Why The Toyota Quantum Is One OF The Best Minibus Taxis

We review, discuss and boast about all the great cars for sale in the used car market in Johannesburg, Cape Town and in between - so we consider ourselves pretty knowledgeable when it comes to recommending the best used cars to buyers looking for the best vehicle for the job and we think it’s safe to say that when it comes to minibus taxis – the Toyota Quantum pretty much takes the cake. Here are 10 reasons why.

  1. The Toyota Quantum does not just come as a minibus taxi. It is also available in a configuration that enables the transporting of goods, tourism and for transporting large families.
  2. Toyota not only manufactures the Quantum as a minibus but also as a panel van. This enables it to be used as e.g. an ambulance or a company delivery vehicle.
  3. The Quantum has more comfortable seating than its predecessor – the Toyota Hiace – which has turned it into the most loved minibus taxi
  4. The taxi industry specifically requested for an extra seat to be fitted, and the manufacturer listened to their request. No other minibus manufacturer has done this.
  5. The Toyota Quantum is manufactured here in South Africa, so it is a proudly South African product
  6. The manufacture of the Toyota Quantum is labour intensive, which created thousands of jobs and boosts our local economy.
  7. Every new minibus taxi is now manufactured with an emergency escape hatch on its roof. Safety First.
  8. Individual seats, with the exception of the backseat, have a recline function and come standard with headrests.
  9. The Toyota Quantum is equipped with electric power steering, ABS brakes and front airbags for the driver and passenger.
  10. The ergonomics and space considerations in the interior design allow a 7% increased efficiency in minibus taxi operations.

More Used Kia Rio Reviews From Owners

Image
When browsing for a great used car to buy - take some time to read the latest owner reviews about the Kia Rio for sale . This vehicle was the least expensive car for which I could fit. It drives like a small Audi. It is very comfortable for a big (tall and heavy) car fanatic. I’ve owned Lexus, Acura, Honda, GMC sedans and SUVs, Toyota, Volvo, VW and Chrysler, sedans a Miata and a Chevy Silverado. Never drawn to Ford's interior or driving dynamics, tried, but never took. This 2018 Kia Rio is worth more than I paid. If it is as reliable as the warranty suggests, it will be the best money I’ve ever spent. It gets hybrid-level gas mileage, it is fun to drive mostly due to the manual 6-speed. Handles like a much more expensive brand and very comfortable, secure handling. I can understand why Kia sells over 200,000 of these WW. As an Older lady, I took over a year looking @ all the compacts as loved my old dodge neon. I couldn't find anything as comfortable esp since almost all of th

BMW 1 Series - King Of Premium Hatches (2021 Model Review)

Image
A moment’s silence please, for the passing of the rear-wheel-drive BMW 1-series. But hang on a second, because does anyone actually care? Chances are if you’re into cars, then which axle is driven probably does matter, a bit . But it has been said, anecdotally and perhaps by driving enthusiasts peering down their noses, that many 1-series drivers were never really aware of their car’s sporting rear-drive credentials anyway. So BMW’s switch to FWD – and all-wheel-drive in the case of the M135i xDrive – for its latest premium hatchback isn’t as sacrilegious as it might sound. Despite the switch to FWD, BMW still markets the 1-series as a ‘sporty’ family hatch . And luckily for BMW, the rear-to-front switcheroo hasn’t diluted the formula. It’s still a cracking steer. Woah, before we get into pre-loaded anti-roll bars, let’s talk tech You’re as qualified as we are to judge the One’s styling, so we’ll save you a subjective critique on that rather fussy grille and skip straight to things l
