Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Chances are you will have driven a Cargo at one time or another; well, this is pretty much like all the rest. The day cab is functional rather than plush, but the essentials are all there: easy cab access (with good grab handles), comfortable seating and good visibility. In-cab storage isn't too bad, thanks to the useful door pockets and overhead lockers, as well as a net replacing the (usually redundant) rear window. Still, we can't help feeling that a more modern design might show it a clean pair of heels.

Commercial vehicles generally keep getting quieter, but the Cargo doesn't sparkle in this respect: at 6omph it is around 6dB(A) louder (which is almost twice as loud) than the last 7.5-tormers we have tested from Daf, Mercedes and MAN. The culprit is probably the wind noise which builds up around the

front corners. On the other hand, Iveco clair that reduced noise from the driveline h allowed it to cut down on sound insulatio the latest Cargo has around lookg less t1-1its predecessor.

The build quality of the Cargo is fine, shol ing none of the faint, well, cheapness that hi afflicted Ivecos in the past. Like ti EuroTrakker we drove recently, this sugges that the firm is improving its quality contrc Don't let us down, Brescia...
