Yes

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Much quicker than our old A160 and more refined. Was sceptical about 'Autotronic' CVT gearbox but it is fine. Controls very light

Easy! We needn't have ordered the parking sensors

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No and our previous A-class was very reliable also
What's most practical about your car?
Lots of room. Easy to park
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Sports package with 17'' alloys makes it stand out. Big electric sunroof is great. Integrated rear child seat brilliant.
