I must admit I am confused , petrol, diesel , A160 A180 . What is the difference. I know I want automatic , and not the new low one . I want comfort and easy to get in and out ,power when I need it , but I can't decideGranny Pam welcome to the forum . Just make sure you take someone with you to look over it first .Thats if its second hand . And if you need to know anything about your A class then just ask . You need to fill in your profile asap so every one knows what car you have .
Thank you , I have been looking at 2litre that then say A160 or A180 ..what does this mean ?Hello and welcome.
The 160, 180 etc describe engine size in decilitres (1.6, 1.8 litre). Diesel gives generally better fuel efficiency but is a bit noisier than petrol.
I hadnt realised about wider doors , so I will look at those , I am looking for 2009 or later before they became lower . Thank youHello and welcome, Pam!
I too like the elevated driving position, and my wife loves the effortless access, of the W/C169 A-class (particularly with the wider doors of the 3-door coupé C169 model).
Personally I prefer petrol, but it will depend on your driving pattern, and where you are in the country.
If the budget allows, go for a facelift models, 2008-2009 onwards, to avoid rust issues with the earlier ones ...

Hi John, I like your way of thinking lol .Hi Pam, welcome to the forums, again I know little of the A class therefore I suggest you just sell your house, cash in the pension and blow it all on the new E63S 4 matic edition 1, you will NOT be disappointed
Hi Craig,These are ~ 2 litre engines that are detuned to produce varying power levels. So for instance one might have an E220 or 250 (same engine, one with a different setup to produce more power). Similarly the E270, 320 and 350 all have the same engine...
