Colin Munro from Edinburgh is happy man after taking receipt of his new Mercedes M8 earlier this year.  The M8, the result of a collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and Cab Direct, is the ultimate hackney taxi, tailor made for the professional driver.

Colin, who was previously driving a TX11, is delighted with his new taxi and would never go back to driving anything else.  He explains:  “I like the quality of the product.  It’s a solid, reliable motor.  It’s a far superior vehicle than the TX – night and day. You can’t beat Mercedes engineering.”

Colin wasn’t originally going to buy an M8. In fact, he had even ordered a TX4 until his friend recommend that he go and see the Mercedes.  And when he did, he quickly cancelled his TX4 and opted for the M8 instead.  And he is glad he did: “It’s just a fantastic motor.  There’s loads of room and the comfort levels are excellent.”

And his praise doesn’t end there: “It’s far better on fuel than the TX.  Plus the reduced emissions mean lower tax so that’s another saving.  And it’s a lot quieter.  I really love it.  And so do my customers.”

When you spend so much time behind the wheel, why shouldn’t you enjoy a comfortable working environment? Something you can be assured of with the M8.  Complete with full, purpose-built hackney specification, up to 8 passengers can travel in comfort and style.  At the same time you are also assured of a spacious, safe, comfortable ride, with the added bonus of the M8’s superb manoeuvrability and performance.

The Mercedes-Benz brand inevitably prompts high expectations – all of which have been met from Colin’s point of view.  He comments:  “It’s a joy to drive, it’s like

driving a car.  I would 100% recommend the M8 to anybody.  In fact, I already have and there’s a few of my mates driving them now.”

And is terms of his supplier, Colin is over the moon too.  He says: “I’m very pleased with the service at Cab Direct.  The staff have been superb, 100 times better than where I went before! They are streaks ahead.”
