Mercedes-Benz A-Class (2005 - 2012) A200 Elegance SE 5d Tip Auto (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That we could have bought a Golf GTI and had change but went for the boring option instead!

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

Like it

Would you buy this car again and why?

We'll see

What are you likely to buy next?

Decide then but it won't be for a while

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

Yes

What price did you pay?

£23,000

When did you buy the car?

March 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

We spec'd car up with lots of extras just how we wanted it. We intend keeping car for a number of years. £23k is still a lot of money for a 'Fiesta' sized car

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

We had an original A-class and my partner loved it and said she wanted another!

What was the dealer like?

Very good

What's it like to drive?

Much quicker than our old A160 and more refined. Was sceptical about 'Autotronic' CVT gearbox but it is fine. Controls very light

What's it like to park?

Easy! We needn't have ordered the parking sensors

Have you had any problems with the car?

No and our previous A-class was very reliable also

What's most practical about your car?

Lots of room. Easy to park

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Sports package with 17'' alloys makes it stand out. Big electric sunroof is great. Integrated rear child seat brilliant.
