GTR-N1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Drive dot com mentions how these "A" models can turn with confidence nowadays... better than the 1st ones that could fall over in a cone-slalom. Standard is high now. Money savings through continued servicing through a MB specialist rather than through a dealership.

Sunkist Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You'd take a FWD, flappy paddle little Merc over a manual RWD BMW... Says it all eh what drugs are you on? the a45 is AWD. will be as quick, if not quicker than the C63. BMW can shove that in their ass hole.. we have a few of the A-class's at work now, both A250 With amg kits..I work at Mercedes Benz Head office. I can wait to get one of these the price they are coming out with is pretty competitive compared to the market surroundings!

ARTZ Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 everything about this car is gay...EVERYTHING....it looks like a hyundai with a mercedes badge and lights on the front.. and how is 35.000 competitive when i can get an i30 that will do most everything this shitbox can do for under 20k.... Mercedes should stay the hell out of the small car market and stick to building the hippy killing luxo barges they are famous for, this is a disgrace.. leave the small gay cars to>> http://www.skylinesa..._1#entry6568514 this thread dissapoints me Paul...you should go sit in the corner and think about what you have done Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/412365-mercedes-a-class-20113/#findComment-6649592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunkist Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Nah they are based on the 4matic system which is actually very rwd based, or so it feels in the bigger cars.. Artz you can't talk. Lol This is the 250 at work, looks better in person IMO But my thoughts are biased because I work there Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/412365-mercedes-a-class-20113/#findComment-6649680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
