Which is better, the Audi A1 or Mercedes-Benz A-Class?

I’m retiring soon and wish to treat myself and buy a nearly-new petrol, manual car. Bearing in mind servicing cost, depreciation and resale - should I buy an Audi A1 Sportback or a Mercedes A180? Thanks.

Can you recommend comfortable, quiet tyres?

Can you suggest a tyre to replace Good Year Efficient Grip, which are noisy and give a harsh ride, on my Audi A1? Many thanks.

Are there any small automatic cars available in yellow?

What companies sell small automatic yellow cars? I currently have a Skoda Fabia but these are no longer sold in yellow.
