Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback A 200 Sport 7G-DCT auto 5d Owner Review

The car is really good in town because of its technology and it is comfortable. Easy infotainment system with excellent clarity once your used to the menus. The column gear selector is excellent as opposed to a console one. You cannot check your engine oil with a dipstick because there isnt one, you drive a few metres down the road, select menu, then service and scroll down and computer does it for you ( seriously ). The engine is not the most economical , however i do travel short journeys. Engine can feel strained at times and material quality is just a little lacking. Thick pillars can create a blind spot at junctions and as a result you have to lean forwards / backwards to see. Reviews i have read never seem to mention this. A stylish car with a stylish interior, however competition is everywhere you look so there are choices.
