I have no personal experience with them, but
Wayne Young, who runs a charter and tour company and has had several (and has one now), talks like they are not very reliable. Turning radius is great, but that was the only thing good he had to say about them. I looked at one of his when I bought my Buffalo, and he said he wouldn't even sell it to me. I was at his shop two weeks ago and the last M.A.N. he had was up on blocks again.

This is hearsay . . . but I have heard parts are a nightmare. Everything must be shipped from Germany and are very expensive.
