2001 Mercedes-Benz A-Class review from UK and Ireland
"A terrible mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My gear box completely failed at 32000 miles. I got a repair quote of £5000 for the £8000 car I bought a year back. Unfortunattely it was just 2 weeks after my warranty expired.
General comments?
Bought the car with high expectations, but am completely disgusted. Mercedes offered 50% contribution, but still remaining £2500 to pay for no fault of mine. Customer services is really disappointing.
