Cardiff driver Jeffrey Postans recently obtained his taxi licence and decided that his first vehicle had to be the best available. Little did he realise that he would be the first driver in the UK to own a ground breaking Peugeot E7 XS! 

"I'm not the kind of person who does things by half so my first taxi was always going to be the best.  I already had friends who were in the trade so I decided their advice would be very useful. The Peugeot E7 has been extremely popular in Cardiff since it was launched and the feedback I got from my mates suggested this was my best option," enthused Jeffrey.  

Having sought advice from his colleagues Jeffrey also undertook his own information gathering exercise. "The guys gave me their opinions but I wanted to hear what the companies who sold the vehicles had to say so I called a few and obtained brochures on the vehicles available," explained Jeffrey.  

It was around this time that Cab Direct launched the new E7 XS, which includes almost every piece of equipment the modern day taxi driver needs.  With features such as the revolutionary EasyGlide" under-floor ramp, twin electric side steps, alloy wheels and Blaupunkt satellite navigation all as standard it's not hard to see why every driver on the rank would love to own one of these.  

Jeffrey explains: "When I got the brochure from Cab Direct and saw the additional features the XS model had I knew this was the one for me.  Emma at Cab Direct was really helpful and was able to give a thorough explanation of the vehicle's extensive features, which was ideal considering I'd never bought a taxi before." 

Sales General Manager Peter Facenna commented: "The E7 has been hugely successful throughout the UK but we're always looking for ways to improve our vehicles.  By listening to our customers and taking their views into account we've developed the E7 XS and already it's proving a hit." 

"I'm sure Jeffrey will enjoy driving his new, top-of-the-range E7.  It's very pleasing for us to hear that new drivers like him are entering the trade in one of our vehicles," concluded Facenna.
