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

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
