I used to drive a bunch of different emergency vehicles. Most of them based on the most recent Sprinter models and they were fine but whenever I had the choice I’d take the 1995 Sprinter.
I loved that thing. It gave me a whole different level of confidence while driving. All the controls were heavy af and after particularly long days my left leg and my forearms would be sore. But I always felt I could trust it more than the newer ones.
Had a couple of Fords too, those can fuck right off. I dont want my inputs to be rough suggestions. Really sketchy when you have to go fast in a bulky shoebox with varying payloads.
Guess what I’m trying to say is you got a point but I prefer heavy steering even in something that I’m not driving for fun.
Why would any automaker manufacture a car with so little torque that it requires more than one gear?
