That's a mark against what seem otherwise well-built buses - though
often with a dire interior layout.

long vehicles really don't go with an old city with twisty narrow

I reckon that, more recently, Wrightbus's products are better.
Probably cheaper as well. *Its predecessor, the O405, was (though it
looked a bit dated) a very well-designed bus.

On the downside, Writebus have a very ugly look for their products.
