Its too top heavy ain't it? How is the driving experience and what are the engine/tranny options?

It may be heavy..but the much more heavier Actros truck is the easiest vehilce I've ever driven..It'll be the same in the case of Sprinter too..

If i am rite then they also have a low roof version also

we have 2-3 of these in chandigarh and all are privately owned and PB registered and all the no. are of villages

by this i guess that all are owned by NIR families

yes its a comfortable people mover, available in low roof version too.

Once hired it for taxi in germany, real comfortable ride & very impressive pickup(felt it while driver was making an entry into autobahn)

comparable vehicle is ford transit, i have driven one. we borrowed it from our employer for a weekend getaway to nederlands.
