Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Previously had an Audi A1 1.4 TFSi Black Edition bought sight unseen during lockdown. Fabulous car but smaller inside than I expected (external dimensions were bigger than my old MB A Class but tiny inside).

So went for the B Class but mindful of the poke in the Audi, I ignored the B180 and opted for the B200 Sport as the bhp was higher, indeed a fraction more than the A1.

However, despite the erroneously named ‘Sport’ model the car is completely gutless pulling away in first gear. Hugely disappointing.

However I’ve changed my driving style (from Boy racer to Grandad) and now I’m resigned to it and used to it.

It’s a very bright comfortable car with acres of space but sporty it is not.

The best analogy I can give is it’s like sitting on a large sumptuous leather chair whilst driving a potting shed!
