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.

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 :devil:

the price they are coming out with is pretty competitive compared to the market surroundings!

we do.. but not publically..

it will be in direct competition with the BMW VW etc.. so in that sort of area, which has been publically told

this was what go auto news put out, and it is a pretty good ball park

PRICING:

A180 BlueEffi ciency 1.6 petrol (a) $35,600

A200 BlueEffi ciency 1.6 petrol (a) $40,900

A200 CDI BlueEffi ciency 1.8 diesel (a) $40,900

A250 Sport 2.0 petrol (a) $49,900

A45 we dont know what pricing is, but is reletively cheaper than the M series verion of the BMW, and 4wd so substantially fast too! im hanging to drive it..

ill get a pic of the sports one parked at work..

and the A250 is fkn quick as it is.

AWD will be a fwd based and very FWD bias I bet...

And you've owned the wrong ones lol. Need E39 5 series / E36 M3 / EVO or later E46. Those are the good stuff..

there is no such thing as a good bmw. sooner or later it will rape you and or your wallet.

ill stick to jap crap lol.

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>>

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

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
