Areas for improvement: None
Very impressed with the quality of the car, and the Mercedes-Benz ownership experience.
Fit and finish are beyond reproach and the car has proved to be pleasingly economical to run.
Considering that the car is shorter front to back than the new MINI, interior space is very generous, with good accommodation for four six-footers - this must surely be the roomiest choice in the city-car class.
The Autotronic CVT makes city driving a pleasure without compromising performance on the open road.
Purchase price is high, but so are residuals and this is one case of you definitely getting what you pay for - this is a small Mercedes, not a cheap Mercedes.
The running costs for Mercedes A Class 1.7 petrol Automatic are normal
Areas for improvement: On-board computer & passenger seat alarm.
Recently bought this nearly new A200 Turbo, what a phenomenal car, acceleration is incredble and there is so much low down torque it needs to be put on comfort mode as in Sport mode it's very hard to moderate acceleration. Pulls all the way to high speeds and beyond, power is quite evenly spread so no sudden extreme power above 4,000 revs, this is basically the ultimate city car. It is small for driving around cities, steering is light and very easy for tight spots and overtaking power is incredible so perfect for short sprints down dual carrigeways.On Board Computer keeps changing figures rapidly and needs fixing, passenger seat alarm keeps going off, other than that is OK.
