Had both the old LF 150 and the newer LF City with the PX-4. That manual Eaton 5-speed is different, takes some getting used to but it's not bad once you're familiar. The thing likes city work - hangs in 3rd gear and pulls fine in traffic, bit noisier than I'd like though when you wind it up. Fuel economy's better than I thought, with AdBlue not guzzling away too fast either. Residuals drop quick if you're looking to sell after a few years. Cab storage in the extended version is better, still not loads of space. Service across the DAF dealer network's solid, can always find someone nearby. Not perfect, but seems built to take the daily city grind and keep going.

Recently had the chance to operate a DAF LF for a fleet contract. It provides consistent performance, particularly for medium loads. However, the suspension feels a bit stiff over uneven surfaces. Fuel consumption is reasonable, and overall, it’s a reliable choice for such tasks.

Driving the DAF LF was smooth, especially in urban conditions. The cab design allows easy access, though its response in stop-start traffic could be better. Yet, its overall build quality makes it a commendable choice.

Recently had the chance to operate the DAF LF210 for some urban delivery routes. The powertrain, with 210 bhp and an automated six-speed gearbox, provided remarkable acceleration for city driving. The cab was well-organized and the seating position accommodating for different driver heights, although I felt the additional window reduced practicality slightly. In terms of suspension, the balance between comfort and stability impressed me. Overall, for light commercial tasks, it is a commendable option.

I drove the DAF LF 55 recently. The cargo space is quite nice, around 60 cubic meters, and the payload handles up to 7 tons effectively. The cab is narrow but functional for two passengers. The suspension offers a smooth experience, but I found the handling less responsive compared to some other models I've driven.

Used the DAF LF recently for a long-haul transport task. The engine performance is competent, though maintenance might become a chore depending on the previous owner’s upkeep. The cabin space is adequate for the class but isn’t overly luxurious. Fuel efficiency was neither outstanding nor poor. A fair choice for specific needs. Just not phenomenal.

I drove the LF210 during a range of road tests, including city routes and B-roads. The engine performance exceeded expectations, although such power might not always be necessary. The interior layout was user-friendly, with ample storage spaces. Entry and exit were straightforward, but I found the exhaust brake less effective than anticipated. As a daily working truck, it holds its ground but leaves slight room for improvement in specific features.

Spent a week with the DAF LF, and its cab design stood out-well thought-out and functional. One complaint, though: the manual gear shifting could be smoother at times.

Had a chance to swap into the LF for some distribution work. First thing that stuck out was getting in and out - dead easy, steps right where you want them and the low cab is great, not awkward when you’re hauling stuff all day. In-cab storage is decent too, places for all your junk plus papers and coffee. Handling in stop-start city traffic is actually not stressful for once, the auto ‘box doesn’t lag and hill start works good. Only thing that bugged me was a rattle from up top, turned out to be a loose nut on the aero kit, just stuff you wasn’t expecting on a near-new truck. But overall, it’s comfy and does what you ask. Wouldn’t mind if DAF focused more on making themselves known locally though, not many folks seem hyped about the badge.
