Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Lower fuel economy, longer service intervals, less noise and faster journey times are just some of the claims Iveco is making for the new Daily On the evidence of our test drive the latter two are not idle boasts hushed in-cab noise levels and power packed driving characteristics were very much in evidence during our time behind the wheel. The Daily is a robust machine suited to the heavier end of the sector; the new power unit adds to the cause.

Our comments are less favourable with regard to the new auto gearbox. Yes, the changes are smooth enough, and with the variable shift quality seen on lveco's manual transmissions in this sector the auto is a welcome addition. But the software could still do with some refinement work. The Daily's development continues to move in the right direction and the vehicle is building a strong following in the market These latest enhancements are a welcome contribution to that process.
