1998 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Classic review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Glove box handle fell off, bubbling paint finish on rear hatch, fuse failures.
General comments?
I found Mercedes attitude to complaints highly patronising. Paint faults were nothing to do with them. I would advise purchasers to inspect their new vehicles very carefully and reject the car immediately if faults are found.
