I want to buy a car to use as a taxi, what's the best option?
I'm looking to purchase a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV with 120,000 mileage to use as an Uber vehicle. Please advise if it's a good option. It's that or a Nissan X-Trail diesel. Thanks.

Do what all the professional Uber drivers do and buy a Toyota Prius. They're very reliable and cheap to run. You can get a Prius+ if you'd like more space.
