2000 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Classic review from UK and Ireland
"Finer detail lacking from Mercedes over price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Anti-roll bar arms worn out at 32000 miles.
Loud knocking noise to rear suspention.
Fuel dial reads incorrect.
Rear cover to high level light broke off.
Both front seat levers for lifting and dropping seats broke off.
General comments?
The car is very badly built with lots of squeaks rattles and knocks rear seats rattle like mad when there is no one in them. I would expect more from Mercedes and would think very hard on purchasing a new a-class.one good point is that the ride on motor ways is very comfortable and enjoyable.
