Well, I've done it. I've bought a 2012 Mercedes B200 Sport auto! Pick it up tomorrow. So that's my 3rd Benz now (or 5th if Smart counts!). My old B160 which I got rid of last year, was the old 1.5 petrol CVT, so bit of a slug. The B200 I'm getting has a bit more oomph, with a...

This morning I was at the Radio Digital Countdown conference in London. The SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers & Traders) released some data overnight that revealed 74.1% of cars sold in the UK in Q3 this year came with DAB as a standard fit. Anyway, at the conference we saw a slide showing...

Hi folks, Sorry it's been a while since I posted here. I'm looking at a new car. I used to own a B160 (old shape) and it was a great little car. I sold it a year ago basically because I needed the money at the time. I know there aren't many fans of the B-Class on this forum, but I have a soft...

Driving the B-Class home from the supermarket yesterday and used the kickdown.... it got stuck. Scared the life out of me. Thankfully the breaks were more powerful. And I managed to unstick the throttle with my foot. Not entirely sure of the cause. Thinking it might be either the fact I...

Hi all. Just a small thing really... but isn't it the small things in life that niggle us the most?! It seems that with car manufacturers that a 3 spoke steering wheel is the premium option, with 4 spoke being standard. I like the fact that my B160 has a 4 spoke. I don't know what it...

Hi all. I've recently got a B160. As expected it doesn't come with a DAB radio. In my old C180K I had a JVC DAB head unit fitted. However I do quite like the new style Audio20. I have my car booked in to a garage on Friday to fit an AutoDAB. What I like about the AutoDAB is that the box...

Hi all, Firstly, I hope this is the right part of the forum to post this thread. Secondly, I haven't really made my mind up yet on anything, but thought it would be good to have a chit chat thread about potential sound system upgrades. Here is what I have right now on my C180K Sports...
