Mercedes-Benz A-Class A180 CDI Avantgarde SE 3d (2005/05) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
£17,750, a lot of kit for your money but cant help feeling I'd have paid £3-4k less for equivalent Ford/Vauxhall etc.
Costs
Very good, got servicing built into finance and diesel plant returning between 40-45 mpg.
-
On the road
Driving
Very good. Only gripe is that steering is a little too light.
Performance
Quick for a diesel (0-60 10ish seconds), although I wish I had gone for A200 now.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Tops. Never failed me and nothing has gone wrong (done 4,000 miles).
Image
Good, Merc badge but proper a Merc, not like the previous model.
Comfort
Quality, leathered trimmed seats, like being sat in an arm chair, especially in the passenger seat.
-
Security and Service
Security
Very good, alarm/immobiliser standard, anti-jacking as standard but no dead-locks.
Service
Excellent, would highly recommend.
