Taxi Of Tommorrow (Nissan Nv200)

+ Good legroom

+ Panoramic roof

- Not enough room for three regular sized people in the back. It was really tight.

- Harsh ride, the engine sounded like shit

- Tank like windows

- Ugly as hell

- Everything rattled and felt cheap

(Also, side note: About 80% of these things all have one steelie which is the spare tire.)

7/10

Ford C Max:

+ Not a Prius

- Theres no legroom

- The seats are uncomfortable and hard

+ Good quality ride

+ Enough room for three regular sized people in the back

Overall 6/10

2014 Impala (Like the one in the picture)

+ Great, nostalgic look. I can easily see these being the next Crown Vic in New York

+ Great rear legroom, I’m around six feet and there was more than enough room

+ Comfortable seats

- This particular example smelled like vomit and Indian food.

Overall 9/10

2013 Camry

+ Good legroom

+ Funky feeling backseat

- Shot suspension and something was wrong with the hybrid system

- Bad ride, hence bad suspension

Overall 7/10

2011 Crown Vic

+ Great rear legroom

+ Delicious V8 sounds

+ Iconic looks

Overall 11/10

Also, there’s still a decent amount of Crown Vic cabs in New York, I’d say 1/4th or so.

PICTURE NOT MINE.

Most of the drivers I had were pretty polite, they drove like fucking madmen but still.

“I’m going to drive like a mad man, but I just wanted to inform you of that before we take off”

Haha,

The driver of the Camry was a nice older gentleman from I’m assuming Northern Africa. He seemed like a slow and safe driver at first, then he proceeded to cut off the entire city multiple times while honking and muttering curses in some foreign language.

“smelled like vomit and Indian food”

If there’s a difference it must be subtle!

Hahahaha

It turned from vomit into Indian food and then back into vomit, rather seamless.

That was my reaction when my bro-in-law suggested an x-cop car for my new ride

Haha, damn straight.

As much as I love CVPIs, I’d have to bleach literally everything.
