I have since sold my MCI 9 and am looking into an MCI 7. I loved the MCI 9, am I going to love an MCI 7? What are the differences other than exterior differences? |

". . . am I going to love an MC-7?"
IMHO - No, and here's why:
Smaller windows & smaller windshield - feels like you're looking out of a cave compared to a 9. . .
Very, very few with automatics. . .
Less stainless steel in chassis = more rust-prone. . .
Different dash w/ fewer instruments. . .
Unless upgraded, won't have integral steering. . .
Much, much harder to get body panels if they're crunched. . .
Orignally had smaller (narrower) brakes than 9s, may have been upgraded. . .
Roofline far more rounded than 9s, more like GMCs. . .
Very difficult to find replacement glass/rubber for "hump" windows, if at all. . .
Look extremely UGLY with front roof cap. . .
Drop-center aisle makes conversion more challenging. . .
Very hard to keep cool in hot SW US. . .
JMHO. . .
