Hi folks
We're thinking about getting an A Class as an economical commuter car as a third car (mainly for me, as I'm now driving the V8 daily at the moment and it does 18mpg on a good day ...), and the prices for 8-10 year old A160 are really attractive.
But when googling for reviews, it seems that there's just as many consumer reviews saying it's the worst/most unreliable car ever as there are saying it's fantastic. Some of the stories of breakdowns in the first year from new are really surprising.
Was there a period of poor manufacturing at MB or something? I've tried looking here for an A-Class buyers guide, apologies if I missed it (in which case please could someone could point me to it)
Cheers
John
