That county lines joke was Class-A
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No pun intended
lmao
Or A-Class, of course
😅😅
To be honest, its a fake leather interior.
It has fake alcantara trim.
The interior trim is laughable in some places.
The Renault engine can be a bit arsey, the Mercedes customer service is real poor.
The boot space is compromised because of the shape of the opening.
Its more a Nissan Almera with a Merc badge, in all fairness.
Residual values are quite poor, and its a wee bit underwhelming.
I somewhat agree that it is bought predominantly by people who WANT the prestige badge, but cant afford the real deal, on a PCP.
Car dealers love them, as they usually sell ok, and there is a steady supply coming off finance and PCP at a constant rate.
Get: History, low miles, AMG spec, auto and a sensible colour. If you want one.
Great video as always, thanks Mat.
Mercedes has used faux-leather for years now. 'Artico' as they call it. Most people wouldn't know the difference. Most of the industry does the same. Lower costs, better for the environment. Can be harder wearing (unless your a 2015-2018 C-Class with the known issues of seams tearing). Makes sense on a car in this segment. There's always a paid option if you want the real thing.
Owning two of them I wouldn't say the trim is laughable, interior is a masterclass in design for the segment (still looks great 6 years after launch) but it is more show than go in terms of build quality with some areas that do creak and rattle (go for a previous generation Audi A3 if you want rock solid build in a smaller car).
The smaller Renault developed A180d diesel is a gem, super economical and pulls far above its on paper figures. Very reliable. I preferred it to my other A200 1.3 petrol (a Nissan/Daimler/Renault/Mitsubishi engine) which felt tinny.
AMG models tend to have trim on the underside that catches on bumps far too easy, Sport models don't, even though they share the same suspension.
Regardless of what trim you pick, the Executive option should be a minimum if buying. Without it you're settling for the small LCD's with the huge bezels, no parking sensors, no auto dim mirror etc.
There's nothing Nissan about it. The engine is a Renault developed unit
I had a C Class with ‘pleather’. In the summer I might as well as been in my dads old mk3 Cortina estate. Wet back!
Totally agree. Well said.
Please keep the "non pc" comments coming as they as they are not only very refreshing but also very funny!
I
A Mazda 3 is the thinking man's A Class. Also you don't get mistaken for a drug dealer in the Mazda.
The newer mazda 3 looks horrible
It's also a much better car
Yes agreed 👏
Great car
The Mazda 3 also has its share of squeaks and rattles
I always forget how much I like Mazda's. Apart from them, my taste in modern cars does seem to align with that of an urban herbalist
How can rattles and creaks on a 69 plate premium car be acceptable?
Mercedes premium?
I had 1 the creaking from the plastic trims inside was terrible . The air vents even creaked as the temperature was heating up . I sold it and bought a focus and believe it or not the focus is way better built
@@barry5138 They were pre 90's. Just living off badge image now.
@@Steven-f281As someone who's owned a mk4 focus, it felt well built and had very little in the way of rattles and creaks. A newer E class I was in as a taxi once was littered with them. My old focus and the cupra leon I have now seem more solid. Poor considering merc is meant to be premium.
@jamesbirkenhead876 who'd of thought we'd be saying ford's are better built than mercedes . It just goes to show how low mercedes have gone . It's just a badge for the snobs now
Don't knock the french for their diesel engines, they've been slapping oil burners under the bonnet for longer than most, its the rest of the car they struggle with.
They've been putting diesel engines in cars for years and are still crap,I wouldn't go near one ever.
Shame they all p1ss oil everywhere.
@@geebee6737 Yeah when they throw a rod.
@@jamie-hb8gy the peugeot xud and early hdi engine is just bulletproof
@@sheaLawsonMcCusker XUD weren't to bad until the wrong pistons were put in a lot of them but HDI pffft!!! they were garbage.
Nein danke. The days when Merc did things better are long gone. They just do things more expensive with average quality. I'd have an Alfa Giulietta before one of these any day.
Alfa Romeo along with Lexus are very overlooked brands and both far superior to this German tat people over here are obsessed with.
You can still get yourself a modern classic mercedes-benz though. As long as you don't mind a mechanic opening up the bonnet and say, "mate this is gonna cost Ya" 😂😂😂😂
facts
Lexus - yes. But, Alfa Romeo reliability record is shocking. At least with a Lexus you’re essentially getting a posh Toyota and you know it’s going to work every single time.
Depends the g class and s class are still market leaders but everything else is definitely declining
Just love it that you could not resist having a little snipe comment at the end! Love it!
One of Plod's favourite Pull cars." It's my Nan's Mobility car I just dropped her at the Bingo" Officer!

Great review yet again Matt. I’ve gotten just over 80mpg on a run in the A180d which is ludicrously efficient. Underrated engine in my opinion.
A220d is the one. Going into the last month of a 3 year lease. No issues whatsoever. Infotainment system is easy. Regularly get high 60s, early 70s on the motorway and it's plenty quick enough elsewhere.
Had a 70 plate A220d from new. The torque and gear changes, especially on sport mode, was brutal. It felt a hell of a pot faster than the 190 bhp diesel engine it came with. Gave a lot of GTIs and S3 a shock when overtaking as the gear changed were unbelievably quick.
If you're thinking about getting one, definitely test drive the A220d, you will be pleasantly surprised. But...make sure it's Premium trim and above, preferably Premium+, as the basic AMG Line spec was pants.
@@LionKing-zo4gcthe 220's are quite surprising aren't they? Got a CLA with one and it regularly puts a smile on my face !
@@LionKing-zo4gc nice car but gti and s3 are still the goats
@@LionKing-zo4gcI’m glad to see diesel still an option as I think they are brilliant
French diesels are better than their German counterparts so I wouldn’t be that worried.
The A class is a joint venture with Nissan Renault,not only the power units but also the floor pan and suspension.I think the low stance and small windows is a minus.
Not true to say it's a joint venture with Renault/Nissan. Apart from the engine the car is Mercedes from the ground up and built by them too
@@jdmguy44 Well thats what my customers and friends tell me
at Nissan Sunderland,the failed Infiniti assembled by them also has parts in common with the A class.In fact the Renault 1.5 diesel has been in production since the 1990s and well proven.Its cast iron cylinder block ensures long life.The average A class would be especially pissed off to know how much of his/her pride and joy is shared by Dacia.
The biggest cut of corners was putting a Renault engine in it
Always seem to be driven at high speed from one set of lights to the next. I had the 2.1 as a courtesy car and was really surprised at how economical it was. Always seemed 65mpg or more. My wife liked it and she swapped her Vitara for one. I agree that it feels a little cheap when you look close at the controls especially next to my CLS that was in for repair.
It appears that the allure of Mercedes-Benz vehicles has diminished in recent times. While they were once renowned for their exceptional build quality and durable engines, it seems that the brand is now relying on its past reputation rather than continuing to innovate and maintain its high standards. Customers who purchase Mercedes-Benz vehicles today may be primarily motivated by the prestige associated with the three-pointed star emblem rather than the actual quality of the product.
Correct - ie “ brand snobbery” in marketing terms. Big in all consumables but MASSIVE no auto industry and a perfect way to part gullible dupes from their money ; PCP finance enabling that to the max ie a match made in £££ heaven !
Line up suckers for your new Renault errr “ first Mercedes” lol 😂
@@serenityinside1it's not a Renault engine, it was co-developed by Mercedes and Renault.
Another enjoyable video Matt. Cheers buddy 👌👏love come home from a full on days work to unwind to an interesting video and your witty narration & presenting.
Thanks 👍
I got a 2019 A250 AMG-Line (the non-Renault engine one) purely because it was a heck of a lot cheaper insurance-wise than a Mk7 Golf GTI, the on-the-road price was cheaper, and now having lived with it for 9 months, can confirm has a much better built interior, more kit as standard, rides better and still matches, if not exceeds the performance: 220bhp, 6.0s 0-60
I had the saloon a250 premium,great till the entire dash screen went blank whilst in Manchester.No Sat nav speedo fuel guage.Took 3 months to fix!!Was hoping you would start shouting "HEY Mercedes tell me a joke".Missed a trick I reckon.
And like the golf, they both have room for 2 large bin bags of plant cuttings in the boot 😁
I had a new 2019 A200d AMG line as a company car, was a great car, plenty of torque when you put your foot down, just had a few sensor issues over the 3 years.
Whichever ice car you test you know all about their faults! And shortcomings! Modern cars are the best built cars ever, yet they are a garage owners dream, they can make loads of money repairing them!
That's a great advertisement for EVS without them being mentioned!
You can also operate the two screens using the black buttons on the control panels each side of the steering wheel. The buttons are touch sensitive, so you stroke up/down and left/right to navigate around the screens/menus, then push the button to select a menu item or function.
The 2.0l BMW diesel is head and shoulders above the 1.5 dci and the 1.6 TDI.
And the 1.33l petrol from Renault is crap.
The 1.33 petrol from Renault is reliable, fuel efficiënt, quiet and offers a lot of torque at low rpm. No idea what your problem is with it
I have the 1.3 tce in my kadjar the 160 one. I have had no problems with it at all. It's lightweight, zippy, and frugal. The problem with both Mercedes and Renault isn't with engines. It's poor quality interior and some poor quality surrounding parts.
On the contrary. The 1.3 engine from Renault is top notch!
Have to agree with the 3 above, the 1.3 in my Kadjar is a pleasure to drive and so efficient. And part of the engineering was done by Mercedes.
Agree 100%. I own a European service and repair shop in Australia and we see many 2.0 BMW turbo diesels engines with 250,000km + which have had regular oil changes and maintenance on 420d, 320d etc. Its a great engine.
Good review and all info needed
My uncle had one as a company car I been in it it nice had no problems dead comfy 😊
Definitely not. Keep up the good work Matt. Your videos are getting better and I always look forward to watching them.
Thanks, will do!
Great in depth review , pros and cons more than covered .👍
Halfway through the review I almost thought I wanted one. But when he mentioned the creaks and rattles... in an A class Mercedes??
No, thanks! Already had my share of those when I owned a Volvo V40. Anyway, great review as always!
Way better and cooler than any Golf.
Great video and work as always Matt! .D
Our family has the third gen. It has around 270k kilometers and we couldnt be happier. It's just the perfect balance of reliability, luxury and fuel efficiency.
I bought a 3rd gen for the wife. Never had issue, fantastic fuel efficiency past every mot without advisory since new and serviced at main dealer or Benz specialist and doesn’t have any rattles or squeaks. Great little hatchback 👍
@@JulianButterworth-ff1ii Yeah, exatly
Good video mat i drove an a250e and taught it was a nice car but road noise was quite loud i taught compared to what im usually in. Good video!
Thanks. My daughter has had hers for about 3 years and is very happy with it. Having seen the video, I will remind her about a gearbox service.
Great video Matt..I have the equivalent B-class in 200d guise premium (2 big screens) and just done 14.4 miles to work this morning and got 65.7 mpg showing..I don't get any sqeeks or rattles inside it's solid enough and has the 8 speed box in this diesel..Had nearly 3 years and it's been brill..keep up the good work..👍😀
A good second car in all honesty, get one used and it's a decent price. Inside is. nice especially if you get the leather and aluminium as opposed to the fake alcantara. AND if you get the double extended screen.
Nice outside, chav inside, Renault under the bonnet. Urghh no thanks.
Exactly! 🙄
Recently I hired a new A class and I was given a choice of colours grey or yellow. Of course I went with the bright yellow, there aren't many others in that colour, it was automatic and was a good drive. Helped me out in the heavy rain with being visible.
As seen on the driveways of all new build housing estates.
You don't get a "contrasting spoiler" or "fins on the rear bumper" with AMG-LIne, you only get those with the non-aero pack A35 and A45, and even then you have to add the fins extra. This car has aftermarket mods on it
Agreed, I noticed that too
I've got an A250 AMG and owned it for 2 years done 20k miles in it without any issues other than replacing the battery which was expensive (£200) and new tyres (old ones not worn but age cracked as original fitment) I'm a semi-retired 62 year old and have owned approx 50 cars in my driving life (that I can remember) from most manufacturers and can say this is one of the best cars I've owned. The 224bhp engine pulls like a train, yes the ride is on the hard side but it's a sporty car so what do you expect. The interior is beautifully designed and I love the body shape. It's very practical with a tailgate with large boot space, I can fit my dad's mobility scooter in it. I regularly get 45-50mpg on a run more like 30 ish around town. I took mine to Mercedes today for the steering software recall only took an hour at no cost and they washed the car saving me a job also sent me one of those video report things they do bit crap really as not very detailed but gave the car a clean bill of health.
Tip for rattling in back I found was rear seat belt fastener banged on the plastic trim, but if you place it in the provided hole at top of the side trim no more rattling from there at least, I would never had noticed this if I had not researched it online. I would normally be looking to change my car after 2 years but I think I'll stick with the Merc at the moment as it does everything I want and I don't think they make the more powerful model any more other than the A35/A45 and my boy racer days have long gone!
I do a little bit of car collecting and delivering for a lease car company mainly higher end vehicles which brought my attention to this particular car.
Keep 'em coming Matt!
Not sure what your point is bud but people of my generation are careful with our money.
They washed yours? I guess it wasn't Merc of Stockport that did your steering recall, they didn't wash my CLA the tight sods !! @ssstenning

I’m a bit of a believer that cars should be rear wheel drive but did look at an A35 AMG a few years ago. It was huge fun but not very comfortable and I’d either have had no driving license or a massive crash within a few weeks. So I bought a comfy, old man spec C class instead. At the last service they gave me an A200 as a courtesy car and despite it being driven by the wrong wheels, I have to say I really liked it.
Really impressed with how the editing snd production values keep improving ( the graphics title of the car you drove over and the countdown tape for the Car Vertical advert). Enjoyed the County Lines dig as well 👍👌😉
Hi Matt great video as ever.
Perfect timing, was looking to buy one of these
I just purchased one last week, so much nicer all round compared to my BMW 1 series.
Hi Matt, great video as always. I have a new A35 and I can confirm I don’t have any links to county lines 😂 you’re more than welcome to feature it on the channel for a review 👍
Another quality review, Matt. I've owned a cla 220 amg line for the past two years, and it's great... 5☆'s all day
19 reg A200d AMG Premium Plus here. Mechanically flawless.
Had A250e just under two years but enjoyed driving electric so much that changed to full electric car. A250e was very nice, especially because my previous car was Polo. It had quality feel and really liked drive assistant tech. Never had any problems in that time. Performance was quite nice when electric and petrol motor worked same time and electric motor had enough power for everyday driving.
For me Matt it's S class or nothing when it comes to normal Mercs. Love your videos 100% my friend
.
I had a 2023 as a complimentary car for a day last month, I was really impressed by it.
The engine was the 1.4 so was a little lacklustre but if I was buying one I would just spec a better engine.
Overall a great little car
Reluctantly my young son traded in his three years old AMG A35, and is now a happy owner of a B 200 and he couldn’t be happier. Lower spec and decent performance is a good trade in at the end of the day. Lovely wee car.
What was he smoking to trade an A35 in for a B class???
@@Therollingpanda definitely insurance cost related
@@Therollingpanda😂😂😂😂😂
@@Therollingpanda Take your point my friend, and that little A35 was one nippy quality car. Sadly finances and circumstances have changed so a cheaper car it had to be.
Entry-level drug dealer car
The Mexican MR BOSS FTW
It is a good engine, I have it in my Dacia Sandero, over 200k km in 7 years, no issues at all.
I had a brand new 2020 AMG one as a company car until last year and loved it. New company car now is a Mokka EV which is a real come down after the A Class but a lot cheaper on the old company car tax so shouldn't grumble really.
We had one just like that in 2021 on holiday in Spain. I was really impressed by it, especially the interior. The screen tech was fascinating to play around with. The only real annoyance was the Lane Departure System that made it feel like you were about to be dragged into a barrier over any broken surface.
Spot on review I have the A class 250 AMG …love it to bits apart from the infuriating rattles that I have now worked out are mostly coming from the back seats rattling on their hinges.
I got the 2 litre diesel and I love it. The car is so quiet inside and I can touch 70mpg on a run as the adblue kicks in. Not sure if the 1.5 diesel comes with the adblue. It’s the smoothest and most comfortable car I’ve ever driven. And the tech inside is lovely. The only issues I’ve found are the front splitter being too low (it WILL crash over a speed bump) and the LED headlights being too low also which can’t be altered by us.
That's a nice Mercedes MEGANE
It is.... But then the meganes a nice car too
Good review Matt, very fair and even handed. I’ve only driven one once and was put off by the ride quality but otherwise a fine car. 👍
Got a 2020 cla premium plus amg with the 2 litre diesel and eight speed auto....goes like a train and no rattles.... pretty happy with it
The premium plus is definitely the one to go for and the tweaks they have done to the chassis make the CLA a better drive especially the 220. Very nice looking cars.
Keep your comments (PC or not) coming Matt 😀👍🏻 If people get offended (which isn’t a crime by the way) then let them! It’s only a light hearted laugh so crack on 😂
The spoiler and fins on the back are aftermarket, not part of the AMG Line. The spoiler is on the AMGs without the aero pack, and the fins are part of the aero pack
I drove pretty mucch exactly the same car recently. Nice car, really fast 200d. Downside, small and quite hard seats. No rattles or creaks in the one i drive but it was low mileage.
Had a w177 A200 amg manual line,2 years old 7000 miles and clutch release bearing started making a noise on take off ,had it done under warranty, six months later started making noise again, typical renault engines and parts ,got rid soon after ,but was a nice car to drive
3 pointed star - made in Brazil- French build “ quality / reliability “. Matt was being waay to kind of- almost like he was being paid to expouse the values of these turkeys that seemed to have “ miraculously improved “ from the previous models he slagged off ..🤔
Hoping to pick one up soon. Looks amazing inside and out
Nice car matt and good video 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
That iPad stuck on the dash in place of the clocks is truly awful, in my opinion. They didn’t even bother putting a cowling round it.
I think the non-p/c coments are part of the appeal of your channel and amuses much of the general population so hope you keep it up👍 Always liked the look of the A class Merc and whilst I've never driven one, from all the comments I hear I think I might be disappointed - build quality and lack of performance would put be off for a start!
Up here in Canada and Mexico, we had all of these A class versions.
I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
Great video
I have a 2022 Cla200d, technology and performance is great with very good efficiency. Biggest issue is uncomfortable seats and the hard ride for city use perfect but on longer trips unpleasant
This model of the A class is the best looking to date the internet has had a massive glow up best in class with the big boy screens was thinking of getting one in the 1.3 Auto AMG pack
I’ve got an A35amg and what a car. No creaks or rattles and the Mbux system is fantastic. My first merc and I’m a convert to the brand.
Me too! Came from a TROC R and although it doesn’t seem as responsive, it’s a great car. Hope you enjoy yours 👍
I swore I'd never buy a Merc, but I recently ended up with a mk3 Vito. They have truly sorted themselves out. I like the A-class. Basically Renault in all the bits you'd want Renault to do, but trimmed and finished by mercedes
today's review used some of my commute so I stopped paying attention and looked at the roads :)
Sat in one with the renault engine and the NVH was terrible. Loud and plenty of vibration with not so great road noise.
Mercedes must be the record holder in watering down their whole brand for the last decades.
I remember sitting in them at the dealer as a kid in the 80's. Everything felt so solid. I remember the feeling I got then that this is for adults. Its not a toy.
Today when I sit in one I get the oppoiste feeling. They feel like some cheap gimmicky toy for 12 year old boys.
Ah yes Matt, always eye for MB 🙂
The sobbery from some of these comments from people who clearly havent had any experience with them, or its rivals is to be expected unfortunatly. Having owned one as a daily for the last 4 and a half years, I can say its an absolutely brilliant car. Better engines and gearbox than its rivals. Better looks than its rivals, better ride, better tech, better safety, more spacious the list goes on and on. Never had an issue with mine with basic maintinence
Its because most of these cars are low spec but comes with a Mercedes badge so you know the person who bought it could've got something similar but for cheaper. These cars when they have a good specification, are levels above its competitors.
My wife didn't know what car to get when she got rid of her A Class, she said she felt spoiled and nothing interested her as much. She went back to her fiesta Ecoboost to slum it for a while so her expectations were lowered, she ended up getting a BMW 2 series active tourer (plug in hybrid) she says its nice but she still misses the Mercedes.
Great video and content. I do like the look of the A-class, not sure I would own one. I also liked the shape before this one, and had one of those as a hire car, was an amg line and was lovely to drive and comfortable.
Lovely car and top video Matt. All these people making comments about how it shares parts with Renault-Nissan, most cars nowadays share DNA and it's not unusual.
It's the 'I'd rather live at home with my mum and dad and have a high interest rate 'cool' car than buy or rent a house and move out' type car.
I literally work with several guys in their mid to late 20's, they have A45's, A35's, S3's, M140i's and a like. They all have the same hair cut, all listen to the same rap music and all live at home with their mum and dad.
Gardening in the attic 😂😂😂😂 nice Matt 👍
I like your first three comments Matt, spot on.😂
A Partridge reference within the 1st 90 seconds 😎👌
Cool edit with the road part lol 🎉
the engines are not the problem the E10 additives the gov are putting into fuel is the problem
I have to agree wqith the comment below, like the BMW 1 series, it is a first attempt to buy the badge
at the lowest price.
I have owned both C and E class AMG estates, the higher up the range you go the better they get.
Save up and buy a propper Mercedes that will give you pride of ownership.
Is it better than a Golf , not with a French engine 😮
Unless ofc you buy the A35 or A45s models, they arent a cheap entry point at all. All manufacturers do a model like the A Class, some buyers will then progress up the model range into a C class for example.
@@miamimo70 Slightly more interesting than a Golf, which are very bland now.
I have a 2019 AMG 1.5 D Saloon. Your review is spot on with my own driving experience. Think the french make excellent diesel engines anyway - it certainly has the punch and amazing fuel economy. Loving mine 👍 Looking forward to your take on the latest Vauxhall Mokka in a future video - There are so many on the roads here? Keep up the great work 👍
I had an amg s it went like stink but the build quality was so poor got shot of it after a year before it fell apart completely
I had an A180 1.3 petrol - 2021 for a couple of months. I inherited it. I own a 71 reg M135i so I coould do a 'sort of' direct comparison.
The merc is the more comfortable to drive. I would have kept the merc but my wife preferred the Bmw!
The road noise in the Merc can be an issue. When it was new my relative swapped the Continental tyres for Michelins which definitely made a positive difference. I also prefer the merc dashboard to the BMW.
As for dashboard/interior rattles, I didn’t hear any in mine. That could be just the car Matt had to test.

Great review. A mate of mine had one these from new. He had issues with the LCD display during the warranty period. He asked how much one of these were to replace out of warranty. Mercedes dealer informed him it would £3000 to replace if it went wrong out of warranty. 😂
I had the LCD issue with mine, covered by warranty fortunately but it still took over three months to get the parts, had a brand new GLB on lone so not all bad !!
FYI master blaster (Jammin) by Stevie Wonder was recorded in Jamaica when Stevie met Bob Marley. Stevie called Bob "Master Blaster" and dedicated the song to him.
‘Gardening in the attic’ 😂 never go pc Matt I love your videos as they are. P.S please can you try to do a Velar review? Would love to hear your views
HEY kislux !! I have been watching you for years and im so proud of where you have made it! I love you so much! Also thanks for making my day
18k for a car with a creaking interior ! I paid 2k for a 07 TT petrol soft top that drives like new , not a noise from anywhere it shouldn't have . not a spot of rust ,does 40mpg easy on a run and is great fun too .Not the same thing I know but think I'll stick to my Bangers 😀
I had one of these as a rental car in Majorca. After being caught short on a game of petrol station roulette, I managed to hyper mile it and got 90MPG. I thought it was a very pleasant car but also incredibly boring. The visibility is also pretty poor, which I found out when scraping the side of the car on a small wall which you couldn't see because the window line is so high.
Lol. My sister had a 72 plate saloon version and recently got rid of it as those squeaks and rattles were driving her nuts. Apparently, it was that bad she had bits of cardboard wedged randomly all over the dash.😂
Now I remember. This is not Mercedes first to use a Renault-Nissan engine.
Nissan did give its 2014 Navara pick up for Mercedes to rebadge as the X class.
And in return, Mercedes supplied the Infiniti Q50 (also sold as Nissan Skyline in Japan) with its 2.0 turbo and 2.1 turbodiesel with 7G tronic transmission .
You're smashing it, keep it coming!
I'm 20 and I know so many people that drive this model. Its always the base model with a manual box and tiny alloys with not a single option, probably on 20% 5 year pcp, and I bet you wont be able to guess why they choose this!
