Are you ready to challenge convention? 2 car generations later: actually, let's go back to convention.

And let's also add a Renault engine just to be sure ;)

I'm a lucky owner of a 2003 A Class in the States and every where captures attention . It's a Jewel.

Did you buy Doug Demuros on cars and bids? He the only one I know who’s bought and sold one in the US 😂

It's very clear that this was produced /after/ the infamous "Elchtest", which leads to ESP as a standard feature not only in the A-Class … The sandwich concept would have been perfect for making a electric drive version of the A-Class - and Mercedes did so, "The A-Class Electric Vehicle" using the ZEBRA Battery System.

Cute little Mercedes.

One of the era's most innovative cars, the other being the all-aluminium Audi A2. The A-Class was neatly designed but poorly executed, the Audi more or less the opposite, although with even worse engines. The A-Class went on to be a success, the A2 a flop. As a result, he A2's collectability has already started. Wish I had both in my garage though. Car design peaked in the early noughties!!!

Welcome to the future baby!!!! What a shame Mercedes didn’t commit to the ideas in this car. Lots of them coming back with EVs

Both my dad and my sister each own black W169 models (A150). I think they are a neater design than this W168. They are very happy with them. I can't help but think that DIY maintenance must be a pain with that engine position.

I had an A class 170D, all you could do under the bonnet was check the oil, there was no room to do anything else at all. Everything was an engine out job 🤢

@99ron30 2 жыл бұрын

The W169 is much nicer and better quality. Yes you are right, the engine is awkward to work on other than doing an oil change or maybe spark plugs. But I suppose most of us never have to do more than that, if its been looked after, on a quality timing chain engine. I suppose a Mercedes specialist should know the most efficient way to work on them. Subarus are also hard to work on with the boxer design, but they get a very positive reputation for reliability and seen as a sensible choice. And my e90 BMW requires you to take umpteen bits off just to change the air filter. So it shouldn't put you off the A class really.

Ja imam ovakvu A klasu motor 1.7 cdi iz 2003 godine. Ja ne mogunda vam opisem kako je to dobro i kvalitetno auto. Ja sam imao predrasude i bio mi je ružan. Ali sad kako ga imam 4 godine ja sam se zaljubio u ovu A klasu. Auto trosi 5 litara goriva na 100 km. Auto nema problema i svaki dio na njemu, svaka sitnica je savrsena. Do sada sam presao oko 80.000 km i nisam imao ni jedan veci problem. Promijenio sam set kvačila i kočnice, dva amortizera i jedan stabilizator. to je sve za 4 godine. Naravno radim mali servis na svakih 8.000 km.

A Class is very safe! Sets new standards! Well, it certainly did set new standards all right, just not in a good way.

Yes, challenge convention. Why drive the right way up when you can drive upside down?

I have this A class engine 1.7 cdi from 2003. I cannot describe to you how good and quality a car it is. I was prejudiced and he was ugly to me. But now that I've had it for 4 years, I've fallen in love with this A-Class. The car consumes 5 liters of fuel per 100 km. The car has no problems and every part on it, every little thing is perfect. So far, I've covered about 80,000 km and I haven't had a single major problem. I changed the clutch and brake set, two shock absorbers and one stabilizer bar. that's all for 4 years. Of course, I do a small service every 8,000 km.
