1999 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Avantgarde review from UK and Ireland
"Classy, but at a price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Anti-roll links worn out at 35000
Rear electric window (Driver Side) broke at 33000.
Sony radio cassette player intermittently cuts out since 27000
Noisy Steering column (I hadn't noticed, but advised by MB Dealer) at 35000.
General comments?
I've found this car completely reliable during the 3 year warranty period. But after that, and despite low per annum mileage (9K), things are starting to go wrong.
