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.

  • 1 month later...

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!

Looks count too. What BMW did you have?

a few. 93 320. 96 330, 94 530, 95 540.

all cheap as hell because they where shit.

bought the 540 of a "gangster" london geezer and it had 20 inch chrome rims lawl.

any prices available yet aaron?

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.

even entry level that is cheap......

so they all front wheel drive apart from amg version?

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>>

this thread dissapoints me Paul...you should go sit in the corner and think about what you have done :domokun:

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

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • 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.
