Mercedes A Class reviews

This car is great it has never let me down and is not too bad on running cost. When you look at the outside you think the car will be small inside, it's not, the inside very roomy and with the seats out you can get a lot of stuff in it. It's very comfortable.

PROS:- Cheap on road tax (£35) low emissions, Good on diesel (appx 50mpg),low insurance group, reliable, spacious (all seats except drivers can be removed to make van space). High seats (giving a jeep/4x4 feel). Cons:- very expensive repair costs, mirror is quite low down windscreen so can block clear view at times, diesel engine is noisy (sounds like a bus.

Fantastic car - I chose the Sport version with the normal suspension having researched prior to ordering - the hard suspension would be too harsh. The reversing camera is far better than a gimmick - highly recommended. The auto lights & windscreen wipers are excellent. The auto gearbox brain uses excellent logic on gear changes. The only problem is "all round visibility".

Reliable, easy to manoeuvre , parts and labour expensive typical example is a new clutch c£800 !!

My A-Class is the A200CDI. It goes very well and is responsive & fast but it's not comfortable and rattles (less than 50,000 miles) with some stupid design features: replacement glow plug costs £14 but £600 to fit - ridiculous!

Very comfortable car - spacious enough for my personal needs.

Owned this car when I had my first baby and it was great for me then but wouldn't suit if you had a bigger family. The boot is very small but if you don't need much space then this is a great little car. Very easy to drive and park and pretty economical too. Good quality and a solid built car. Not much power unfortunately which isn't ideal if you need to overtake quickly! Great if you just need something to get you from A to B.
