Ah youth!!

For those of us who started riding to school in cold and draughty Bradfield
cars, Tangaras are positively sybaritic! In my experience I have found them
relatively quiet, comfortable and smooth.

I think we need to get things in perspective a bit! They are by no means the
worst suburban sets in the world. Many of the gripes which are posted in
this ng are pretty minor in the scheme of things.

Let's see some evidence of safety issues and other major faults which still
remain, apart from the door problems posted elsewhere in this thread. Then
we can really judge whether the sets are worthy of the sort of criticism
beinmg offered.
