2000 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Classic review from Australia and New Zealand
"An excellent city car for a busy woman"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor rattle in the front suspension. Fixed by the dealer.
General comments?
A brilliantly designed car, for its intended use as a city run about. Great for carting kids to school, sports events, grocery shopping and for taking elderly people to church, doctor, shopping etc.
It has a lot of safety features, heaps of room inside and handles very well. It is the only small car my 1.94 meter son can comfortably fit in the back seat of, and provides reasonable economy.
