    Advantages Advantages Compact, Stylish, Mercedes

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Hard Ride, Ruinous Servicing Costs, Depreciation

    ** Update 4 Begins - This is the final review as now sold ** At 3 years old, the car has covered only 32,000 miles. The time has come to sell the A-Class ....... why? Overall Experience -------------------------- A great car for versatility but ruinously expensive to run. Far too fragile and a poor overall dealership experience. Ride was always hard to this is mainly a run-about not a long distance cruiser. Would I buy another - No (and I haven't). Mercedes need to vastly improve the dealer network, quality of the cars and reduce the running costs. Then they may be able to charge the premium ... more

    Advantages Advantages Interior Space, Visibility, Excellent engine & transmission

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Looks a bit like Camilla Parker-Bowles, head on.

    Introduction Isn't the A-Class an oddball? Out of the many people I've spoken to in relation to the car, nobody can quite work it out. Is it a family hatchback? Is an MPV? Is it a luxury city car? Is it a van with windows? In fact, it's all of those things. A truly versatile car that perhaps trades beauty for innovation. True beauty in this car lies in its interior, however. Exterior & Image It looks a little like the C-Class has been involved in a head-on collision, an almost flat front bumper and bonnet do little to evoke the eyes to look further back on the car, but as you do, you can see ... more

    Advantages Advantages Very Economical, Small, Nippy, Compact, Easy To Park !!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Several Blind Spots Throughout The Car !!

    We have a A 160 Mercedes, its main use is driving me up and down the motorway to the oncology centre at Bristol and numerous other hospitals scattered about... so it was important when we bought the car that it was reliable, economical and easy to park. Since having our baby 'Merc' we havent had a days problem ( a hum - fingers crossed now !! ) it is just due for its first MOT ( Y reg ) . It handles very well and corners well, sticks to the road like glue when you put your foot down !! the fuel economy is excellent and this is important, it is very easy to park although there are several blind ... more

    Advantages Advantages Compact Size, Higher than average ride, Flexiable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive oils (fully synthetic) recommended in servicing

    Confortable car with a reasonable smooth ride and fair economy, I return between 34 and 39 mpg and I am not a light footed driver. I serviced recently myself and when I found all the parts in the car it only took 2 hours for filters, plugs and oil change. Being able to remove all the seats bar the drivers gives a good space for carrying loads on the odd occasion. Boot space isn't bad for a smallish car. Overall I rate this car highly, it is fun to drive and in the six months I have owned it I have really enjoyed it. Sometimes in the wet the traction control kicks in when pulling off at a ... more

    4 Stars Quick review of Mercedes A160 by patel88 23/07/2007
    The car is great to have to get around, its fast and stylish. If you are looking for a car for a few years, then this one is great, but if you want a car for longer, then this is not the car. I have had this car for a long time now, and recently, I have been spending £1000's fixing it and getting it back to working order.
