Service X20 - upgrade from Optare Solos to larger vehicles

As a passenger, the only real issue with them is the emergency door rattling (which I'm fairly positive is an easy fix since just leaning against it solves the problem) and the engine being a bit rough on idle.
The ride is fairly smooth, it's only over big imperfections on the road that you really feel anything.

I think I've only ever been on a few Streetlites that have any rattles (apart from the aforementioned door).

A complaint I hear often is the seats are uncomfortable. But those are a very subjective thing and I find the Civic V3s to be rather comfortable (much better than the ones on the Enviros). 

Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely pick a good E200 over a Streetlite, but I'd pick a Streetlite over an average E200!

As a passenger you've never driven one. The only thing a StreetLite beats in my experience is a Solo. Anyone north of 6ft has to perform yoga to try and find a comfortable seating position in a Solo, even then you're generally wasting your time and might as well resign yourself to being in discomfort.

The Mercs are up there with the B7 President's and Omnicities in terms of driver comfort.
