    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I bought second-hand one from MB direct and was happy. I love my little car/van!

    Costs

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I just paid over £450 for a B service at 39,000, not from MB dealer which would have been even more. Absolutely outragous!

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A joy apart from bumpy ride. Parks in really small spaces but has a huge interior. With the rear seats gone, gets in loads from Ikea!

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Over all, very happy. Nips around the place and more or less copes with my fiesty right foot!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    So far, so good, but reading other reviews, I'm not sure. I must have a good one!

    Strange shape, but the badge says it all. Up yours!

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not a word I would easily use when referring to my A160!

  • Security and Service

    Seems ok.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    MB direct - lovely people, but long way from my home. Staff in local MB dealership all have heads up arses. Very sad.

    Problems

    Engine

    Fuel sender unit repaired inside warranty thank goodness, would probably have cost a million.

    Other
