BUS&COACH BUYER: We consider this the most comfortable vehicle we’ve ever driven.
   
 
UK, 4 October 2002
By Rob Orchard
  • We just couldn’t believe it: after 1,832 km we had no aches or pains and we felt as fresh as a daisy.
  • There are no vibrations, noise or flexing. It’s hard to describe, but you get a sensation of perfect balance when you drive it.
  • It’s a real pleasure to drive this vehicle. It’s fabulous to handle and really docile, YOU CAN DRIVE FOR HOURS AND HOURS WITHOUT STOPPING. It’s quiet and comfortable for both driver and passengers. The air-conditioning performs excellently, keeping the atmosphere comfortable at all times.
  • IRIZAR have broken the mould with the PB. They’ve shown us that a coach is much more than a box, and I think it’s going to be very popular amongst UK drivers. The style both outside and inside is sensational.
