1999 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Great looking car, but rough ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Flat Battery at 30K miles. Some days it would start no problem, but others it was dead. I've replaced the battery at my own expense!
Knocking noise from rear of car, very annoying!!
General comments?
Knocking noise very irritating. Mercedes have tried to resolve the problem, but cannot rectify it!!! They don't know what is causing it.
Great car for overtaking, even though it's just a 1.4.
Seats are very comfortable, and high seating position is great.
Rough ride, would expect smoother driving from a Mercedes.
