What a car. It has a list price of around £14000 but it is readily available at car supermarkets for just £12,000. What a bargain. For the same price as a Ford Focus you can have a MERCEDES. Not only does the A class combine style, space and value it also offers a great drive. The 1.4 litre engine is a superb unit providing around 40mpg without compromising on performance. 0-60 is knocked up in around 12 seconds and a top speed of 110mph is more than enough. This care really does feel faster and sporties than the figures suggest. The sharp brakes and suspension make driving around town a pleasure.

The level of equipment provided as standard is superb - half leather seats, electric sunroof + windows, steering adjust, remote central locking, alarm/immobiliser, driver, passenger and side airbags, traction control, heated mirrors.

This car is one of the safest in its class and also one of the most practicle with split fold rear seats which can be removed completely to create a large van like load space. This car is well thought out with seful storage compartments for maps etc., an abundance of drinks holders and many more quality featuers.

I highly recommend this car to anyone wishing to purchase a car for around £12000. It truely is a bargain. And do not forget that this car is a great investment with extremely high residual values.
