Mercedes-Benz A-Class A160 Elegance 5d Auto (98) (1999/T) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
On the road
Driving
The rear view mirror is too big and gets in the way, hard to park as you cannot see the front end - would advise the parktronic option.
Performance
Good kickdown on the auto box - good on motorways.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Gear box slip out of gear on motorway - rang the Mobilo life - no problems but took it in the next day to be checked out - something to do with the computer management.

Security and Service
Service
Local dealer not up to what I would expect from Mercedes. The Mobilo 30 year cover is great - I've used it twice, once in the UK and once in France - great peace of mind.
