From my personal memory of riding buses I would say the 1982 Grumman 870s that were part of Lynx's bus fleet in Orlando back in the 1990s. I think it was number 611, which was on the Link 11 route heading for the airport.

The 6V92TA engine and Allison V730 made these buses noisy as I remembered them, but at the same time I liked them and they were fun to ride on since they would lean.

They did rattle a bit too and unfortunately were on their last legs before being replaced by 1996 Gillig Phantoms. I also rode on 1985 built Neoplan AN435s along with 1987 Flxible Metros on the Links 11 and 41 routes.
