1998 Mercedes-Benz A-Class Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"The only car you'll ever need"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. A complete contrast to our previous 2 years with VW! The car has a signature warranty and 4 years breakdown cover anyway if anything should happen God willing.
General comments?
The car has proved itself over and over again. It is surprisingly comfortable, for the four of us, has a high seating position which is not only safe but easy to put the children in their car seats and the shopping in the boot.
The dealer we purchased from was pleasant and any others we've been in contact with have been excellent too.
A number of people have asked us about it and I could have sold it umpteen times over. Pity I'm not on commission!
