I always advise people to do a vehicle check as you cant tell what has happened to the car before you own it. The gearbox was fine but the engine was rattling at speed, The seat belts were responsive, the speakers were good (not enough bass), the drive was good not great being a mercedes entry level you would have expected a q...more

* Introduction * This review is based on my experience of owning and using a Mercedes A Class Classic 140 over the past 5 years. This review may not be lacking a little in terms of technical specs, since I do not really know much more about cars than being able to open the bonnet, girly girl that I am! However, I passed my driving test many moons ago and have had plenty of time behind the wheel. Therefore, this review may be of interest to those considering purchasing a second hand A Class or one of the slightly different new ones which I think start with the A150. * My Cars * Skip this section if it's of no interest because this is only ...  Read the complete review

I owned one of these back in 2005 and was fond of the way the car looked. My one was a W reg 2001, five door in jet black, with black seats, no stereo. So it was four years old when i owned it. The milage was 20,000 and i paid £5000 for it. It was clean, high seated and pretty spacious. The major knock back was the engine, my one in particular had issues but the garages did not think that there was a problem. When i drove at speed, i thought the engine would drop out. I have owned many cars and know that car had issues i generally keep cars for about six months before i sel them on. I always advise people to do a vehicle check ...  Read the complete review

Having got rid of the Range Rover I have gone for something that is better suited to my needs and went out and bought a secondhand Merc A Class 140 Classic with the clutchless gear setup. Alot has been written about these cars on these pages and I can say that the car is everything that has been said before, the one I have is the smallest of the engines sizes but for its weight and size it is quite nippy, the ride is certainly different to the Range Rover and feels much more connected to the road, firm seems to be everyones adjective. The view is somewhat restricted due to the enormous struts at the front of the car, but a prob that most midi's like this ...  Read the complete review

As i have driven this car i would know that it is comfotable to drive and also to be a passenger, there is plenty of boot space even though there apears to be little. The cars wide wind screen gives you a good wide view of oncoming traffic and a view that allows you to easily park the car. It is quite economical which is a good thing in this day in age as that is one of the most talked about thing around the world. This car may look like a small unimportant car but it isnt as it has the legendary mercedes benz badge on the front and back of the car. This car has quite a steep price but im sure if buy it you would easily overcome this price because it gives you a good, ...  Read the complete review
