Since this is only KL built body you have, how is the NVH -- the ODO readings seem to be comparable.

For typical "mini" buses, I have always noticed that the NVH levels are very high - especially the engine sound.

You are right, the mini bus is noiser than the Vikings. I think the body rattles are more in the mini.

But if we just talk about the engine NVH, the AC viking is the noisiest, maybe because of the AC motor.
