Mercedes-Benz A-Class (2005 - 2012) A150 Classic SE 5d Owner Review

First of all its a nice comfortable car lots of space , easy to drive , economical ,even basic spec has bluetooth radio / phone , the biggist issue is utterly stupid design of all the engine mechanicals that are hard to reach , spark plugs / leads/ coil packs are a 2+hr job even for a indy garage , engine needs to come out really for simple jobs like alternator / water pump change unless you have very small hands and lots of patience , I do like the car but would like the designer to come here and explain why he did what he did , (pillock ) could have easily been a lovely classic if it was 6 ins longer and 6ins wider .put me off mercs for life im afraid .so if buying ,make sure of really good service history and avoid any issues with engines gearboxes .(suspension is ok to work on )
