I'm not a huge fan of Voyagers. Yes they have good acceleration and reasonable brakes, but the cab is appalling. I was told that they were designed with the input of a driver, but if that's true he must have been built like an orangutan. I need to put the seat all the way back to be comfortable with the CPBC but then it puts other controls, such as the wipers, out of reach. The door release buttons are at a cack-handed angle that requires twisting the wrist to operate or reaching right across yourself with the opposite hand, and the air-suspension seat won't stay where I put it but instead keeps rising up as I'm travelling along. I also find them stuffy due to the lack of fresh air and the total reliance on A/C. There's always the same combination of faults shown on the TMS (usually down to faulty sensors, I presume) and some controls, such as the PA/intercom buttons, are hidden behind things and so are not visible. I'm far happier in a Cl170 where I can have the window open, the seat stays put and everything is within reach.
I used to like Cl317s and Cl315s, but particularly the Cl315s. Both classes had their negative points, but they were simple, rugged and easy to use. The Cl317's comedy WSP system has already been mentioned, but I found that provided an interesting driving challenge. Those units really responded well to a slightly more subtle approach and intelligent use of the power handle. But the most fun I had was in Cl315s. The later build units with GEC (?) equipment in particular were good fun to drive because the traction interlock relay was good and loud so that you knew immediately when you made/lost interlock. Plus I could easily drown out the station PA at Liv St on a Cl315 by rolling in on a Step 1 brake in order to get a really loud squeal.
