Mercedes A200 CDi AMG?
I know I may get shot down in flames here but what are peoples thoughts on these? Shane?
The Mrs is keen on the looks but neither of us have driven one. I've never been fussed on MB but this is a much fresher, 'younger' looking MB and thought it would suit our needs well. Red, AMG with 18's (Silver wheels not black) Panoramic Roof, Sat Nav etc etc It's to be a work car for my Wife so Deisel is most attractive, hatchback as she's in and out the boot every other hour so no saloons. She's had a Golf for 7 years and loved it, but fancies something away from VW and cannot warm to the 1 Series at all. No Seats, Audis, Skodas, Fords, Vauxhauls, Peugeots, Renault or any Jap stuff appeals to either of us, she's really sold on the A-Class, thoughts? An example I found after a quick search. Red A Class |

Nice looking and different mate, they just seem very expensive to me.

Great little cars. Quite roomy. Drive nice. Enough grunt. Great on fuel.
So far no reliability issues to worry about. |

Had a good look round a customers & they’re a lot nicer in the flesh but the permanent TomTom on the dash looks like a real afterthought.
