Hey! Did you have engine knock/rod knock issues?

Great to hear! God bless!

i have to say buying german in europe vs buying "german" made in the usa is a completely different experience. also how you guys drive versus americans who drive all the time on long highways

I also have one. It's crap. The gearbox is clunky and atrocious, especially regarding downshifts 4-3-2. The software is buggy beyond acceptance for a 50K car. The "spaceship" look faded away a couple months down the road. The front suspension, despite having no problem whatsoever, sounds like it has something loose. At higher speeds the wind noise is unacceptable and it gives off the impression the rear windows are open. Ergonomics are poor for someone over 185cm. Overall material quality is the definition of cheap. From the EZ scratch piano plastic centre consoles to the fake aluminium look plastic door handles. The whole interior is a plastic pit that gets scratched if you look at it. The service is all looks no quality and any semblance of care is absolutely not there. All in all, they're cars for muppets with a fat wallet that like to parade around showing off a symbol. If someone mechanically inclined got one, it will have a hard time getting the needed info to work on them. Most owners and groups are absolutely useless. Again, they only care about the symbols and are the utter definition of useless. Had a Golf before and even though those have their issues, it's tenfold easier to find information about them and how to solve them and they're tremendously easier to work on. Far better cars. First and last mercedes. Absolute disgust with the overall experience. Just thinking about having to deal with the dealer muppets windbags irks my skin. I wouldn't recommend one to my worst enemy. I can't even fathom living with this crap in a 160 or 180 engine variant. That however made realize how many fools are out there that lack any kind of critical thinking and just go with the gottalookgood herd.

@@mudemmeonicklol why so mad what happened😂

How’s it hold up now

Depend on what engine you have

@@wedaopps820 pretty good

2020 a220 here with 23k miles. Still running smoothly.

@@OwenShi0804 23k miles is nothing bro

It's awful!! mine does it so much lately and I'm just WAITING for my transmission to go. I've had many issues with my A250 hatch!

@@zacharpin5369a250 and 220 many problems

i always have to drive it with auto start off and on sports mode because of this reason.😭

@@jair.710 Reason to avoid a250 and a220. Shameful because the engine is good

@@jair.710what engine you have bro

the people that choose a toyota after a mercedes must really be disapointed with driving experiance and interior quality and tech

@@kristians2704 if only there was a luxury brand of Toyota… 😝

@@mtnx7 the only lexus that is on the same level as the Germans is the LC500

@@kristians2704 the only Mercedes that’s on the same level as Lexus is Sprinter cargo van because the rest have major mechanical issues after 75k miles.

@@mtnx7 and there's way more to a car than reliability... What if we talk about performance, handling, tech, interior quality, styling?

Used Toyota Avalon.

same, I loved this car but hear too many complaints smh.

@@SepaloidTV I’ve watched some videos that say the transmission is smooth and no problem. Something I may look further in to.

its not all that bad i have it. Just slow asf if you looking for something with speed this is not it. Im genuinely happy with my car’s exterior and interior

Same boat. I could live with the cost if the overall experience was good. But it isn't. The service is dreadful and clearly oriented to dazzle fools. The cars aren't good in any way whatsoever. Sloppily built. Materials are cheap and only made to look expensive. Software is buggy. And the overall thing is riddled with issues. It's like mercedes put them out there for the owners to do the beta testing. And things do go wrong. Just wait till you get the dreaded SRS failures and your dealer shafts you even though they should be supporting the fixes. Or the interior comfort module bricks itself. Or the front fender lines start rattling. Or the taillights stop working because they feel like. By the way, are you enjoying the wind noise in the cabin? Or all the gravel projected from the front wheels to the front doors since mercedes did the fender in a way that everything that gets picked up is thrown at the side of the car, not to mention zero insulation behind the lines so you hear every single hit inside the cabin. And how is your seat stiching? Holding up or are you one of the poor lucky guys that has a car where they are starting to rip apart? Maintenance could be a lot cheaper if most owners weren't dreadfully ignorant about their cars and shared knowledge. Sadly I've came to realize the typical mercedes owner can't even coun't the fingers on their hands. If it wasn't for the price paid, I'd get rid of it tomorrow.

Hey man since u owned one do this car I wanted to ask you I am in the mist of deciding on between a 2019 a220 about 62k miles or a 2016 c450 amg about 100k miles ( the engine has been re done with 8k renewals for common proplems) what would ur take be

@@Abdullah-be7qr Neither. A class is a dreadful product. The other one, who knows how the rebuild was done. It's a pandora box of problems.

I'm sure in the video He said they added some options like the Burmeister sound system and AMG package.

That’s around what KBB showed me 3 years later at 21k miles.

Well those particular Mercedes cars aren’t even built in German they’re built in Tuscaloosa Alabama so you’re getting terrible build quilts from the start

Shipped from Germany but its assembled in Mexico?? Lol merc is funny.

@@shastaweston just read an article the 2019 was assembled in Mexico but Mercedes changed that recently to Germany (no wonder she had cyclinder problems↑). This is why to never buy the first year models.

@@marcusvision ha. Lesson learned

I have a 2020 and with 30,000 mi just had the same thing happen, catastrophic engine failure this early on is a huge red flag will be getting rid of it soon as the dealer fixes it

Woah me either

@@layne4376 2019. I’ve had it for just two years. These 11 issues are after it went into the shop three times this past summer.

@@layne4376 ugh that’s too bad!! Sorry you’re also dealing with such issues. 😥

I had an A250 2019 also in Canada and had about the very much experience as you had with yours. It was a shame because apart from thoses problems, I loved the car and I would have keeped it, but after 2 years, I sold it. They had to replace the engine head after 35k km so that's when I decided to sell it. I wish they corrected the problems with the 2021 and 2022 models but I don't know if I'm willing to try it.

To follow up - the dealership / Mercedes Canada couldn’t fix it and ended up taking it back at the end of January. It’s since gone to an auction place in Toronto… and remains there…

So you think Lexus IS better?

@@mizzyfit_334when it comes to durability and long lasting Lexus is the way to go. Looks? Mercedes

Not exactly when Lexus arrived.. a few years later. Lexus debuted in the very early 90s, but Mercedes’ quality didn’t actually change until the mid to late 90s.

​@@mizzyfit_334of course. Lexus is a luxury Toyota. They're just as expensive as MB but realible

I experience the same thing. I HATE it. Especially in traffic and making it seem like I can’t drive or am being reckless

2019 was the A class first introduced, it was assembled in Mexico (bad place), the newer ones come from Germany hopefully with the better QC.

@@marcusvision Why is it so "bad" to build in Mexico and better in Germany?

Buy a lexus ct200h instead you will be suprised how smooth, quite and reliable those are.

Lol my 2019 a180 transmission broke before 60k kms. The 7G-DCT are just rubbish not even worth calling the car a mercedes. I rather call it an 2008 renault un reliability.

It’s a Toyota

En heb je daar problemen mee, David? Anders kan je aan een hoge boom gaan hangen en is je issue vanzelf opgelost ;)

I live in a studio apartment and I'm just faking it until I can afford a one-bedroom

I had one and traded it for an A thinking I was getting a better product. Always heard people raving about muh mercedes. Never felt so swindled in my whole life. The Golfs, despite their shortcomings, are far far better cars.

Why the jelousy hate😂

Get a Golf if you want something sportier. Chose the engine variant carefully. Some are good, some aren't. They have their issues but most are easy to fix and there's a tremendous amount of information available about them. Get a Corolla if you want something simple and you don't care about performances.

Camry v6 or Honda 2.0T, K5 or sonata if you're feeling edgy.

for $40k usd I'd get a Genesis 3.3T or Acura tlx tech. I like how the A class looks. BUT $300-600 on regular maintenance is WILD to me.

@@marcusvision oh, i aint looking for cars over 33k max, maybe even onlu under 30k euros/usd

Please dont i will break down while looking at it. Buy a lexus ct200h instead.

@@koens6257 ct200h has less kw then my current rubbish car

@@prospect2664 if you want to go fast why would you even consider buying an a220 for real? Buy an a35 amg if you want to go fast. Lexus is300h F sport or gs450h F sport is faster than a ct200h still fuel efficient and both reliable. Infinity q50s hybrid maybe? All better than these rubbish mercedeses built in mexico lol.

Correct or have a GOOD extended warranty. There's a reason why their CPOs are only a year long.

The gearboxes are the same.

Agreed I got 2021 A220 it’s freakin good car.

Mercedes normal auto are good the dct is 🤢 unless it's a sports car

He just doesn’t know how to drive 🤣😂

people dont realize that german car brands make money on service ,maintenance not from sales thats why everyone complaining about reliability.its call planed obsolescence ,no you know!

Typical Mercedes lol

I have a 2019 and I’ve had 4 check engine lights in less then a year

Lies my buddies 2020 a200 engine blown up around 130k kms. Mercedes nowadays is a shame. My 2019 a180 transmission broke at 70k kms. We are talking about 2019-2020 car broken within 3 years of use. I traded my merc in and bought a lexus is300h never been so happy.

I have a 2022 civic hatchback ex-l and a 2022 A 220. They are not the same at all. A220 is way peppier and handling is miles better. Infotainment is leaps ahead. Civic is a classy car but the two are not the same. Paid $31k for the civic and $37k for the A220 in the chip shortage era. The price difference is enough to justify the Benz between the two if you can afford the maintenance. That’s where driving a Honda brings value. Hands down

@@simond5378 I’m actually debating between an A class or a civic rn, which one would you recommend? The prices are super close and I don’t mind the maintaince

Rip off brand name.

Change the oil yourself🤦‍♀️

i rent an elantra (7000k miles)drive 50~70 miles when i check in to return the car front bumper was loose so thank you no thank you

Yeah, keep that Korean trash to yourself. It's not even remotely close to even this cheap Merc. The Elantra is a disposable car, used to be good for 30k miles tops, then to the junk yard. Now maybe 80-100k at best.

An Elantra over a Mercedes? I think NOT!

That scam called EV?

Consumer Reports has Tesla at the bottom of the list reliable cars. That’s why resale sucks. Only a moron would buy one.

@@billsheehy1 Yep. Tesla owners are a delusional bunch.

Lol. Get a Lucid. Get a Rivian. Get an Audi E-tron. Get a Genesis GV60 Get ANY electric car other than a car sold by an aging online edge lord who's cars panels dont even align, glass roofs fly off, and spontaneously catch fire.

This model not a good buy?

@@mgeorge.4257 definitely not

@@mgeorge.4257 if you must have a small Mercedes sedan, I’d recommend the c class. Much nicer car built better than the a class or cla
