Im talking coaches here but along the same lines....

DAF all day long....Volvo's are good providing it isn't an i-shift gearbox,seriously lets them down....

Best coach i had was a DAF SB4000 rear engine with a fully auto ZF box, 62mph uphill or down dale all day long full or empty......

It was a 04 plate with Vanhool body and its only downside was the dustbin lid sized steering wheel!!

that daf box is a good box but on our trucks the box let water in and rusted the in sides had to have a recon box to put on . the truck is a XF 55 plate / 2 head gaskets and 1 snapped head bolt   happy days

As a profi European long distance driver ( 40 ton Artic ) I can say the best trucks what ive driven is the MAN, Ive had a F2000 and a 460 tga xxL very good and comfi for long distance work, The benz is Cr** Stars belong in the sky and not on the road,  Scania & Volvo are ok and DAF is just a dutch tortcher chamber, The old east german trucks are fun to drive the L60 goes like a rocket and the W50 dies when it sees a hill.
