I have an exact a168 1,7 cdi 425000km. No problems, except service, of course. Any weather, any time, any fuel---it is ready to go wherever you need. The best family car for city, and everyday short trip!It has not got any specific problems!
I have a a 98 A140 Elegance. The problems I had are the following: •Engine struggling at ideal and then turning it self of - caused by ECU fault ~ 350€ •Springs, chocks and rear sway-bar (?) broken/lose (And a few other problems regarding the suspension) •Deteriorated break lines •Rust in the rear arch and sills ~3000€ in repair (Rust was there again after 3 years) •Belt and tensioner replacement 600€ (It still makes noice but the mechanic I didn’t wanted to hear from it) Parts still / again needs fixing • First gear issue during cold days •Window issues: sometimes the car refuses to close, open them. And I have to turn it of and on again •Steering alignment •Plastic replacement (Cracked or even broken) I got the car from my dad with around 130tkm or 140tkm now I am at 157tkm. After 3~4 years but the car was up to 8 months undrivable due to repairs and a repair (which I done myself) because of an accident Overall I have mixed opinions about this car Initially I hated the car but now I think it’s quite practical and even on longer drives quite comfortable especially because it’s for its age quite inside But the quality and the way it was designed make repairs relative complicated And it drives like a boat If you can choose a manual, look for rust and maintenance, listen for knocking sounds from the rear and if you can look after a model with AC and cruise control (mine is missing that and that’s one feature I actually wish to have, because of longer drives and the warm summers) Have a good drive 🫎

Overall I have mixed opinions about this car
Initially I hated the car but now I think it’s quite practical and even on longer drives quite comfortable especially because it’s for its age quite inside
But the quality and the way it was designed make repairs relative complicated
And it drives like a boat
If you can choose a manual, look for rust and maintenance, listen for knocking sounds from the rear and if you can look after a model with AC and cruise control (mine is missing that and that’s one feature I actually wish to have, because of longer drives and the warm summers)
Have a good drive 🫎
Car consumes 1000l of oil per 0.8 kilometers?
I also was wondering about that xD - I think he means after 1000km 0.8l oil
Nisi rekao najveći problem svih problema kod A klase. A to je servo pumpa.
I problem neprepoznavanja kljuca. I da sednes pored njega i places
I have one of these, the whole car is the problem, such a POS
Mind telling me what sort of problems you are facing?
Are you talking about any chinese cars with the "Mercedes" sign 😅😅😅???
@@mrlebanon6055He hasn't noticed any concrete problem, that means he hasn't got any Mercedes A 😅😅😅!
