You should try out 7450P.

A very cooling massage chair.

dun be shocked. I took it last fri as it does not vibrate. Maybe the A/C nv full blast cos raining..

KUB seems to be more fuel-saving?

OC500LE A/C outlet is rubbish la. I can imagine they would end up like the MB 0405.

The gradient at the back of the OC500LE is high. It is like a slope from the rear seats to the step but luckily not so jerky as KUB. OC500LE is too noisy outside compared to KUB.

OC500LE got a boring interior while KUB looks for colourful maybe because of the poles and ezlink reader.

OC500LE too noisy whenever the door closes and some of the black colour seats is not wise a good colour to choose as dirt would be easily seen.

The black colour steering wheel and the dashboard also look dusty after sometime like B7RLE.

OC500LE interior is ok what.whereas the kub interior looks more boring.all brown.sux man.actually SBS8033D's purple interior is more nicer.not to say,its seats are also nice like the VSOs.actually it would have been much better if SBS8033D's interior design were put into the rest of the kubs.and many kubs engine are now noisy also when they move off from a stop.and the OC500LE aircon is good what.only that the aircon duct is quite small like the Hispano Habits.ur 1st point,which MB 0405s u mean?SBST or SMRT?

chickenlittle2 SG

personal opinion. u r not going to force me to accept ur opinion? SMRT MB 0405.

i feel that KUBS are much more quieter

AEW5001 SG

for me, OCs definitely and e 80XX series KUbs. If BCs steps e gas hard, it shioks! i don think e other batches can do that.

OC500LE is quieter leh. KUB radiator very noisy. hhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...........

bus555 SG

even though i havent taken a Oc yet but I still find the OC the best in terms of the body work. Wish they would buy more of them though.

for the KUBs, i have one word to say: jerking (problem)

Scania K230UB (Euro 4 EGR) reported fuel burn: 50-55 liters per 100 km (1.92-1.98km/l).

Mercedes Benz OC500LE (Euro 5 incentive/SCR) reported fuel burn: 45 liters per 100 km.

Now, who saves more...

Yeah, it kinda matters more now about the fuel consumption rate in this type of energy saving world we are in now ... ...

sBs_boy SG

I think i'll vote for K230 ?

The OCs are way tooooo noisy for my own comfort.

Does the sound of a bus matter? What we should compare is engine performance and not how much noise it makes. Is a quiet bus good? Is a noisy bus bad?

Even so, a powerful bus is not totally good but a bus less powerful is not totally bad too. There are many other factors that come into place, above all which includes personal view and so on.

Personally...

1) The OC500LE has higher horsepower rating than the KUB
2) The OC500LE consumes less fuel per KM travelled compared to the KUB
3) The OC500LE is less jerky than the KUB (with some KUB sounding as if the underneath might just give way anytime - SBS 8327G of Sv36)

Now, maybe you would say that you also want to factor in the sound of a bus. That I wouldn't stop you, but my point I want to make is that the amount of noise a bus makes isn't the main factor. You can have a loud roaring bus that drops you off at your destination much faster than a smooth quiet bus that may take a longer time to transport you to your destination. Given a choice, which would you choose?

(Above paragraph entitles you to your personal opinion - no definite answer)

Yes. Buses should be as quiet as possible whilst having relatively fine engine performance. Would you like your future car or future buses to sound like an F1 Car's Engine while having maximum performance?

MB does it almost right for the OCs. The engine insulation is great, rides are smooth if the driver knows the bus, etc

tvcnq SG

Yeah. 8033 loooks nicer but perhaps because it's a change from the usual. If all the kubs look like that, i would think the colour scheme is boring too. I prefer kubs when seated but OCs when standing cos less jerky.

Yes, my point being, the OC and the KUB all relatively sound the same, neither of them is really that loud, so there's no need to compare the sound...

Other batches of the KUB can do that, it depends on the BC
