1999 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"Rubbish rubbish rubbish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a 160 Elegance, it has a "F" sign on the dash and is not going into gear at all. This happened out of the blue - went into services off the motorway to spend a penny, and got back to the baby and saw this F sign. Had to get towed back (200 miles away). Does anyone know what this fault is?
General comments?
This is the worst car I have ever owned. I had a old shape C-Class before and it was lovely, but this A-Class should be renamed Toyota A-Class!
