Mercedes-Benz A-Class (2013 - 2018) A220 CDI BlueEFF AMG Sport Auto (Map Pilot) 5d Auto (2013/13) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Stylish, practical, sporty.

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

All are impressed with the looks both outside and in.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Hard question. Give me an A-class that works and doesn't fall apart and I would consider it. At the moment, certainly not. Mercedes have lost all credibility as a 'premium' car manufacture in my eyes. Good Customer service from my main dealer has been helpful, shame about the substandard product though.

Responsive to drive, economical, the A220 has plenty of pace.

Not too bad, rear window is a bit small though.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Just about everything! Allow me to elaborate: Between 17k - 44k miles (I know a lot of miles for a car less than 2 years old) I have had the following. Failed sensors, seat belt frayed, broken down 3 times (ECU fault) Airbag failure, replaced auto gearbox at 43k!!!!

What's most practical about your car?

Quite roomy inside for a small car.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Command system/ sat nav.
