  I've sat at SBS VO's driver's seat and Tibs Habit bus' driver's seat. Think DD isn't nice to drive,.. compartment too cramped.
  
  I'd want to drive Tibs MBO405 Hispano. Many Tibs drivers like that bus.

  hrmmmmm.....tough question....
  
  I'd love to drive a UD U31RCN, and then try it against a U31 SCN.
  
  Also, a Hino HT238K.
  
  My fourth and final bus would have to be an O.405G with a ZF 5HP500 gearbox.
  
  In reply to charle's choices, I'm not sure what you mean by the older engine, since it is the same engine in a Mk II-IV, but the Mk II B10Ms are great buses, as well as any Mk IV with a ZF gearbox. (Strider, or DM). Also, why would you only love the sound of the 96xx series Volvo Olympians, when they have the same engine as that of a B10TL? They both sound OK, but the sheer grunt of an O.405G is just oh so beefy.
  
  Enjoy!

  Why will they want to give u a big compartment space for ? I find the space sufficient enough .
