Mercedes-Benz A-Class Hatchback A 220 AMG Line Premium Plus 7G-DCT auto 5d Owner Review

The car feels great to drive, but then I don’t race around like I used to. A few years ago I had a GT VW Golf, which held the road better than the Mercedes especially round corners. I love the fancy ambient lighting, my opening sliding roof. I dislike that the alarms cannot be turned off, only volume down. It’s slammed it’s brakes on twice without warning when near to a pedestrian going across. Not that near or I’d have braked myself. If a car had been following me each time, it would have hit me in the rear. Luckily there wasn’t any car. The mod cons are at times unnecessary, irritating. Voice control of Mercedes is good, navigation very good. Unlocking car doors remotely when my key is in my handbag is bad. My old Ford did it better and taking it in to Mercedes twice hasn’t fixed that.
