ideal for my wife
a good car that is really economical, averaging nearly 50 mpg with no long journeys. Feels a quality car but the seats lack back support. CVT gearbox is great, less than 2000 revs at 80, a bit slow off the mark but hear the A180 CDI is much better. Only real issue with it has been the discs needed replacement after 24000 miles, at the first pad change, and Mercedes were not remotely interested that the disc wore out faster than the pads. other issue is the pricing of servicing, the second service was over £500 which is a hell of a lot for a small car!
