They are used for taxis as they are very reliable for driving a huge distance everyday. Same here, but I don't they are that much more reliable compared to other cars. I think it has more to do with labor and fuel being a much bigger part of the total cost vs. the upfront purchase price. So it doesn't cost much extra for taxi companies to market themselves by providing "luxurious" transportation.
