Mercedes-Benz B-Class (2005 - 2011) B160 BlueEFFICIENCY Sport 5d (2009/59) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't really care what the car says about me. For me it is about wanting to get in a car and drive it.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

The family love it. A neighbour who drives another model Mercedes-Benz has expressed his appreciation.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes I would. It is comfortable, economical and sporty. It is also well equipped.

What are you likely to buy next?

Another Mercedes Benz.

Franchised

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£11,400

When did you buy the car?

May 2013

Did you get a good deal and why?

I did get a good deal. They offered me a above market value trade-in on my previous car, gave substantial discount on asset protection insurance.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Missed the luxury element in my previous car.

What was the dealer like?

Helpful, friendly and efficient. They organised the transfer of a private plate and handed over the car with a tank of fuel.

What's it like to drive?

It is sporty if not overly powerful. As you might expect on a smaller engine, gear changes are required for overtaking. The ride is firm but comfortable. The car is also particularly quiet.

What's it like to park?

Really easy to park, even when not using the park assist - once you get used to the larg turning circle.

Have you had any problems with the car?

I had a leak on the rear screen washer.

What's most practical about your car?

Boot space, especially the flexibility of load space with the sets down.
