1999 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Shopping trolley car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Knocking or vibrating noise, very irritating, noticed after 6/7 months. Anti roll bar link rod ends were the problem.
Official dealer looked at the car twice, but failed to diagnose the problem during its warranty period in first year (import car).
Took car to independent garage and fault was picked up straight away. Part costs only £24.00 + labour = £70, but have lost confidence in local MB dealership as the fault should have been picked up, unless they did not want to help because it was an import.
South Wales.
General comments?
Overall, pleased with the car.
Bought as a shopping trolley which is what it's good for.
Also, snazzy looks make the car stand out from the rest.
