2000 Mercedes-Benz A-Class 160 review from Australia and New Zealand
"It is a car; that's it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the steering column replaced 5 times.
Thing's breaking in the car; plastics etc..
Can't list the problems; there are so many.
Very disgusted; thought I was buying a good car instead a lemon.
Cost of repairs is huge!
Very disappointed!
General comments?
This car is far less superior than any other small car, because of all the faults and design problems.
