Mercedes-Benz A140 Classic

* 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.

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
