HATE the i-shift with a vengance!! WOuldnt have an Fh after the hassles with local dealer and the grief with my xc though. That and no steering pusher axle. Merc cab?? Have you tried getting in the top bunk of an Actros?? NOT easy! Again no steer axle either! Sore on tyres! What do you haul? Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

just about anything.out of all the auto boxes the i-shift wins hands down,the daf auto box is ing ,i used to drive a 105 & when you go to pul away at a roundabout by the time its decided what gear to be in its too late.

I just dont use auto boxes in lorries at all. Agree that i-shift is probably the best of a bad lot but dont like autos in heavies at all. Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

Tim - your stated HP is in contradiction with one of the links you posted thus:

"Like the seven sisters that followed her, she is powered by the largest Common Rail Flex Engine built by Wartsila, pressing 83000 horse power into a three-story space."

But hey it was only 21,000 HP out!  WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award
