Mercedes Benz A-Class (Team Review) - Fifth Gear

[@cawimmer430]

"The first A-Class..." Shows picture of a 2nd generation A-Class.

[@VisioningHail]

We don't speak about that car

[@hardcorehardo]

All the people saying the a class was rubbish while never owning one

[@King_Renato1]

Hardocore it is rubbish looking

[@hardcorehardo]

@@King_Renato1 thats true. But as a car it was reliable, safe and very spacious for its size.

[@FAT8893]

@@hardcorehardo I never own one, but a friend of mine do own the old A-class. It's... CRAP! Great for city driving, rubbish for long journey.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

"If you pull it hard, it will move". Love the trolling, and it's true :P

[@Darthadios]

This is the first Mercedes A-class what I would buy.

[@_wouter52]

I agree

[@joaocorreia4436]

I got mine 1 year ago. Really a great car.

[@mgw2024]

Congrats :)

[@gordonmccracken1209]

I would spend a bit more get a Volvo S60 or V60

[@joshstreet3919]

This is also gonna be the last RWD 1 Series which is a shame, but I was speaking to my local dealer, they said the 2 Series Coupe will also go to FWD but the M240i could be in with a chance of staying RWD.

[@soundseeker63]

The styling and the interior is fab, but one thing they didn't mention here is the visibility out is terrible. I took one for a test drive and found you can't see shit out of the back so you really NEED to tick the parking sensors option!!

[@jeanclaudemifsud5862]

thats true and even it competitors

[@hardcorehardo]

the first a-class was (after the facelift and the long wheelbase model) a brilliant car.

[@gioavger7352]

A class looks way better than the 1 series

[@DAGATHire]

Tell you what... this car is fucking everywhere at the moment. I get the impression everyone one who would've normally bought a Golf, A3 or 1 series, has gone over to Merc. So from that perspective it's a success for Merc. A massive success. Wouldn't buy one myself, but that's just me. It's still a massively popular car.... And it's not a Golf. so.... it's not a bland ugly piece of tat.

[@plexiglass-kz2si]

I'd give it a 5 No regret No discounts

[@aaryeshg.6526]

Nice little hot hatch. Quite a bit more expensive than the 7th gen Golf GTi but atleast it looks like a fun hot hatch, not like the boring 7th gen Golf GTi. Can't even compare to the very very odd 1st gen A class. Should have had airbag suspension which other Mercedes models have. Why this AMG model doesn't have air suspension? It can't be the lack of space to fit, air suspension is much more compact than springs and shock absorbers together. This would have made it more comfortable and still sporty to drive.

[@TheJeeKee]

2:45 so close !!

[@chrisdooley6468]

To think the current A45s AMG has exactly twice the horsepower this tested one has lol. Mercedes sure can tune a vehicle lol

[@Motoring_With_Manas]

That A class could keep up with the Bimmer but can’t beat it and the fun bit in that 1 series

[@bensmithkent22]

Pissing with rain though. No fanboyism intended.

[@posaydonkarma5401]

what do u guys think about the A180 Amg line

[@yassernidami5740]

The newer models make 381hp 💪🏼

[@cam_121]

pretty sure the new a250's don't have 381 hp

[@Theoneandonlybay2345]

Ahem A45!

[@cam_121]

+Dean Bay yeah the new A45 has 381 not the A250

[@wax333]

same engine as the cla45

[@littkids2150]

U are on about the A45 but that has 354 BHP

[@gavinlove2112]

As an owner of an A220d Amg Line I can say it's actually really very refined on the road, however the A250 really is harsh due to its AMG suspension. However, they're both better than a 1 series and are much more confidence inspiring than an A3 on a country road.

[@NikesZ28]

It looks a million times better then the 1-series :D All other BWM´s look rather good but the 1-series looks kinda awful.

[@TheGbizaille]

the one on the video is the old one, the new one looks much better

[@KA467]

Rest in peace RWD 1-Series! You were the only proper RWD hatch on the market, and now you're greedy family is stripping your identity! *ahem* sorry about that, we were talking about BMW design were we? The sad thing is ever since the S-Class came out, all new Mercedes have began to look the same like Audis, which is a big shame, as the previously lineup of C, E and S couldn't look more different. It won't be long before the A-Class and the CLA-Class look the same as a small C-Class. And now it's BMW which are JUST distinguishable between each other. RIP RWD

[@bwmim9709]

Kar Wai Wong correct

[@giovanni233]

i would pay money to sit next to tiff in a 1 Series.... or 1.4 Volkswagen Jetta 5-Speed manual becuase its my favorite car

[@chrismlarge1]

Top tip: get a 2wd manual FL A250, better ride, no annoying gearbox(eco mode borderline dangerous) and a couple of grand cheaper.

[@shivek108]

How do you get the red seat belts and red front bumper?

[@quinnmullen5601]

I think it's optional on the AMG trim

[@mgw2024]

I would think it is for teenagers more than young families. Cool car either way!

[@kieranhughes4090]

The grill of that a class is sick

[@Argantonis]

Not RWD. No point getting this when there are dozens of cheaper and roomier FWD hatchbacks.

[@MEDVECZKY_Weddings]

what is actually the difference between Front Wheel Drive and 4WD? Can someone explain as I never really understand!

[@thepetrifiedbard1646]

Do you mean difference between 4wd and awd? If not Fwd drives front wheels rears don’t receive any power from engine, 4wd delivers power to all wheels.

[@BeesonsCars]

Reupload?

[@amybrown7729]

Had it loved it ❤️❤️

[@shivek108]

what model is this A-class?

[@ivxshotttzz7005]

250 AMG

[@khd8667]

3.44 music FLD Derek D 🤔🤔🤔

[@asherlopezsioson8927]

I can agree with Johnny that the first A-Class is a big mistake

[@mynameisphil401]

* cough * Renault Megane * cough *

[@chaoszombie9995]

Lol

[@Paula202]

only the 180d

[@mynameisphil401]

Paula Taylor not really. the 160d and 180d have the same renault 1.5dci with different power outputs(89 and 108 bhp respectively) and the car itself is based on the Megane chassis

[@Paula202]

Aw well It suits me then as I'm changing to a A200d from a Megane (4th one with no complaints yet)

[@ciccio383]

Nope, only the engine of the 160d and 180d is renault, the rest of the car is entirely mercedes, is the same chassis used for the b-class, the cla and gla.

[@lobsterwhisperer7932]

its made in some backwater Balkan State. That used to produce soviet era cars

[@thisisshubhankarmishra]

GLA next :(

[@azerro1080]

1:00 thats the second a-class

[@dereksbooks]

Testing the handling of a RWD Bimmer against a FWD Mercedes in the pouring rain? Seems legit.

[@robz1471]

Its England...

[@rscosworthfan]

I Owned a first gen a class an a140 interior quality was pretty good but the ride was a bit hard

[@rscosworthfan]

gearchance was slightly notchy too

[@jihaneladly786]

THAT WAS THE BEST CAR EVER I WATED TO DRIVE THE A CLASS SO BAD

[@funnyfromthevlogs434]

tesla model s and x next

[@alukardFE]

Backseat could be a little bigger

[@TheDiabolocraft]

I fucking love those team reviews. Better banter & chemistry than the ex-top-gear-turned-amazon lads.

[@kb9072]

I think you're own your own there.

[@TheDiabolocraft]

@@kb9072 I'm shouting into a void

[@ngplatinum7668]

this vehicle cost 100,000 dollars in the bahamas that is too much and it is not even tax yet

[@ngplatinum7668]

this is coming from me and i love Mercedes my dream car

[@IIIxwaveIII]

i dont get it. this is the old model that was face lifted a year and a half ago aproax. the latest revision has different exhaust pipes, different buttons on the wheel etc... whats the deal?

[@sudheeshnambiar6265]

Hey Mr. Fully Charged......

[@mudskipper0075]

You too can have a MB for £400 a month on PCP with a Renault engine…👍

[@sartek69]

this shit costs over 35000 pound in India

[@pedaorm]

Same in Brazil!

[@wax333]

lol what do you expect your rupee doesnt measure up against the british pound so you pay more

[@ECEAaronXavierLobo]

wax333 he said pound. not rupee.

[@wax333]

that same car costs 90 k here in nz.

[@sarudedandorm1452]

Why are they still uploading on youtube when the show doesnt air anymore? Theyre just uploading old episodes . . .

[@forza223bowe5]

The Renault A class

[@petercavellini3232]

Renault dropped the Ball a decade ago...!😎

[@ponjebach]

top of the line model...test a 180d...base model, it is a joke....it deserves 6, MB paid them a lot I suppose.

[@ThexMJT]

Still 1series for me.

[@XzanderVillo]

ok

[@esuaekpo]

More like a VolksWagen A-Class.

[@scottgraham6019]

Do not buy this car people my 16 plate A class piston snapped this year despite always being serviced at the manufacturer garage. Mercedes made me front up costs towards a new engine and refused to cover 100%. Shocking brand that only care about their sale and nothing after that. Failure after 65000 miles on a diesel

Top gear has to put Vicki in a mini skirt, get rid of the tree clowns. Nice car BTW.

TheGreatLoco does fifth gear even air anymore. cuz ever since Discovery Turbo screwed up things with their "redesigned" channel I haven't been seeing fifth gear appearing that much.

The a class will never match up to a BMW. All Mercedes feel cheap and nasty plus they just dont drive as well as a bmw

Cheaply made rubbish sold at ridiculous price.

Mercedes is shit! Special A class. Old glory only.

[@Do_Not_Buy_Kia_Look_After_UK]

The Driver Power Survey owners said this car is very hard and not a comfortable, soft ride at all. I wouldn't NOT like it for that reason.
