Mercedes-Benz A-Class A160 Elegance 5d Auto (98) (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I bought second-hand one from MB direct and was happy. I love my little car/van!
Costs
I just paid over £450 for a B service at 39,000, not from MB dealer which would have been even more. Absolutely outragous!

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

Living with it
Reliability
So far, so good, but reading other reviews, I'm not sure. I must have a good one!
Image
Strange shape, but the badge says it all. Up yours!
Comfort
Not a word I would easily use when referring to my A160!

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