Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ A CLASS (1998-04) A160 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6 AVANTGARDE AUTO REV 01 is a compact five-door petrol hatchback, bringing Mercedes-Benz appeal to a city-friendly size. Its tall shape gives it an upright cabin and easier access than many small cars, while the automatic gearbox is handy in traffic.
It suits urban commuters, couples and small households seeking an easy-going runabout with a premium badge; five doors make carrying passengers or shopping simpler. Compared with a Volkswagen Polo or Ford Fiesta, the A-Class stands out for its unusual upright design and airy feel, although it is less conventional than those familiar superminis. The 1.6-litre petrol engine is geared to everyday use, not sporty performance.
