That does look tasty!
Anyone with first hand experience with Mercedes A Class from mid 2010's?
We are considering letting the Q5 go and getting something smaller, cheaper to tax, run and insure since the boys have got a bit bigger and not needing such a big car (I've survived with a 3dr hatch for example)
Looking at Golf GTE/GTD, A3 1.4TSI etc... but she seems to be settled on an A Class - I have cleaned several and are nice cars but know very little about them and what to look at. Personally I would be looking at the A250
any thougts? Would maybe have £12k to spend or less ideally

Dont think I would want her in a diesel again but there is potential for her to get a promotion within work later this year which will require travel around the whole of Ireland so I am not wanting to have to look at another car later in the year that would be more economical
Or this one

Wife has a 2016 A180, and as @Gavlar says its a diesel Renault engine. had it near 5 years now and has gave no real bother at all. Think the biggest headache as been a TPMS sensor that just random decides when it wants to work, just being lazy and will change it when the tyre is getting changed.Anyone with first hand experience with Mercedes A Class from mid 2010's?

The other half had the B class variant of these, basically the same car but more of an MPV shape, nearly sure it was something stupidly cheap to tax like £20 a year too.
Great comfy car to drive and well enough put together and largely reliable with the odd niggle.
The diesel 1.8 and 2.1 are merc engines with chains and the 1.5 is the renault engine which have belts.
Hers had the 1.8 and the newer DCCT gearbox and she averaged 42mpg over the lifetime of having it.
The 2.1 in the A Class is only 136bhp but I am sure that can be mapped if needed
Edit: Celtic up to 187bhp
Do you own a Mercedes Benz A Class? Gain up to 40% of power!
Now to dive deep down the rabbit hole of A Classes to see whats best!
Thanks everyone so far

Watch which wheels you end up with on the A Class.
The A class is lighter than most Merc's but AMG wheels are awful quality for cracking.
Went through 2 x sets of genuine 19" AMG rims on my CLS so i'd try to stick with 18s and a beefier sidewall.
Seem to be so many options for them
Just found out this morning there is a A220 with the 170bhp engine which was mentioned earlier in this thread. Then a Night Edition is an option too.
So spec to look out for now is:
A220 2.1CDI with 170bhp
Pan roof
Night edition
Auto (happy with manual for right spec)
Under 60k
Any colour but red (she doesn't like red)
Cruise control which I think they mostly come with
Facelift ideally (2016) but I am unsure if the pan roof comes in facelift??? Haven't noticed any early models with one
Anything else thats above and beyond normal spec to look out for?

Yes avoid the mercedes red they have issues with lacquer peel.
If the A class got them have a look out for the LED intelligent lighting system

Yes I priced it, maybe your friend had got a 1.4? Insurance is all much the same, just over 3k fully comp with me as a named driver, cheaper with a black box but have read too many bad reports about them.
Courtney so has her Mums sense of humour, texted me at lunch to say her only concern was the lack of boot space in the Adam, where would she fit a pram
