Also it goes to show that while a Euro manufacturer was involved in the design, MCI did not sacrifice the strong engineering MCI is renowned for. Also the key features of an MCI coach remain: No useless overhang, maximum luggage capacity & strong road handling.

What needs to remain is the key feature of each window remaining a hinged emergency exit. Not the way Euro vehicles are built: Bonded side windows that require are hammer to break them open. Plus the high fibreglass content makes them highly fire prone.

It is reassuring to see that MCI has remained with its winning engineering formula.
