They seem to last, but I think it's like driving a tank.

It's just been passed here in Chester at the third attempt. First time it failed because the wheelchair access was poor, the door didn't slide open enough and the second time the floor / step was too high. apparently these issues have been resolved and the first one has already been plated.
I like the look of them but a mechanic friend hates the duartorq engines . I've spoke to a guy who drives a normal van version it's the 123 bhp model (they also do a 156 and 99 bhp) and he says it needs to be worked hard and then it becomes noisy.
