I'm on mobile so will keep this brief.

I hate canters. They are bouncy, have twice the brake calipers of a normal yoke to give trouble, metal spring bushes that rapidly wear out and parts are dear.

If I needed bigger than a sprinter it would be Isuzu NQR or a Volvo FL6 if the NQ wasn't big enough.

The Atego is also a good piece of equipment and i'd be happy enough to have one.

+1 with Slidey's Canter assessment, they're a garage queen.
