Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A190 5DR HATCHBACK 1.9 ELEGANCE AUTO is a compact five-door hatchback offering a premium-badged alternative to mainstream cars such as the Ford Fiesta and Vauxhall Corsa. Its tall shape helps make the most of a footprint, making it suited to town streets and tight parking.
