    Isn't about hurting feelings.
    He has his opinions and i have mine.

    BTW i wonder if he would still like Volvo as much if he had to pay our prices instead off the cheap versions he gets in Poland.

    Now what would be interesthing to see is what his cost off ownership was over the years (including purchase and resell) when he sells his Daf's in the near future.

    Volvo and Scania are BIG €€€ €€€ or $$$ $$$ here.
    About 10 000 to 15 000 more for a similiar spec'd truck compared to a Daf.

    I don't agree that Volvo is stiff, or uncomfortable. Yes, it's not as soft as Daf, but at they same time, you can spec Volvo with front suspension on air and full air susepnsion cab, as standard it comes on springs all around.

    None of my drivers complain really.. I'm 28 myself so for me it really makes no difference.
