Ok so a little review on this beast
Looks:
Well, I don't really need to say much. It's a Mercedes so the styling is shit!
Interior:
As you step into the cabin, you immediately notice the amount of high quality plastic they have used! You will also notice how stupidly high the floor is which leads to an absolutely shocking drive.
As with all Mercedes, the controls are...shit. Instead of having two stalks, there's just 1 with everything crammed onto it.
The driving position is like sitting on top of a wheelie bin yet somehow, you still can't see any of the bonnet (and I'm 6ft4). Even with the seat at its lowest position, I still can't sit forwards to reach the stereo (which is shit by the way) without banging my head on the sun visor.
Handling:
Imagine someone grabbing your skull and shaking it back and forwards violently.....well the A class is substantially worse than this! And that's just in a straight line. If you attempt to go round a corner, you will immediately notice that the completely flat seats will not support you at all. You will realise once you've climbed back into the drivers seat that it does not grip at all! I almost ended up sideways on a roundabout last night whist being overtaken by a gwizz.
Performance:
None.
Yep so basically, this car is shit. I thought Mercedes were supposed to be a well built 'premimum' car? Not this one!
