Mercedes Vito Taxi Roadshow

Cab Direct once again joined forces with Edinburgh based Mercedes dealer, Western Commercial, to host their first hackney taxi roadshow of 2013 – the fourth consecutive show of its kind at the Mercedes dealership in as many years.

The event showcased what has become the most popular hackney taxi for sale amongst cabbies in the Scottish capital – the M8™ Mercedes Vito taxi.

Vito Taxi is Firm Favourite in Edinburgh

Over the years Cab Direct has seen a steady increase in sales of the M8 hackney taxi in Edinburgh, with many cabbies deciding to make the change from the old style London cab to the modern, purpose-built M8.

Starting up front, the M8 offers a spacious and comfortable driver’s compartment with plenty of handy storage areas.  The passenger compartment has plenty of space too, easily catering for six passengers with room to spare.  With its richly appointed interior and Mercedes’ CDI diesel engine, the M8 provides a relaxing experience every fare for drivers and passengers alike.

Put to the Test

Many drivers took the opportunity to test-drive the Vito taxi on the day and none were disappointed.  For driveability the Mercedes cab certainly lives up to its name, offering superb responsiveness and handling even in the heaviest traffic.  It also returns an impressive 38.7mpg on the combined cycle, helping keep fuel costs down.

Food for Thought

As always, the selection of sandwiches and cakes on offer were well received by the drivers in attendance.  Sandra Docherty, Cab Direct’s Edinburgh based Sales Manager, said: “The show’s been a great success.  It’s nice to meet so many drivers and to give them the chance to test-drive our Vito cab so they can make up their own minds about it.”

Sandra continued: “Mercedes provide great service and support to our customers so it makes sense to have the show here at Western Commercial.

The show has helped us get the year off to a great start, providing plenty of work for the production team to be getting on with!”
