1998 Mercedes-Benz A-Class A140 Classic review from UK and Ireland
"The benchmark of a small family (2 adults + 2 children) car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing!
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever owned. No complaints at all. Sure, all cars have their strengths and weaknesses (including the A Class) however, as an overall package, an excellent car and a pleasure to drive and own.
