My new Merc A-class AMG sport

[sidekickdmr]

So I picked this up last week (well it got delivered but same difference), an ex demo A180 Cdi amg sport

It's nothing special but for a motorway commuter with something a bit "different" about it it's perfect

It's costs £0 to tax

56 mpg average so far

Every toy imaginable including auto park, attention assist, and all the normal auto stuff

So far I'm absolutely loving it :-)

[AndyBrew]

that looks cool, i like it

[Richair]

Very nice! A pal of mine has one in a very similar spec, but blue and I like it a lot which isn't bad considering I don't normally get merc's even the silly ones!

Enjoy sir

What's attention assist a loud exhaust valve & some banging tunes?


Nice looking cars these, they're growing on me more & more

[iacabu]

Can't say I'm a fan of the black wheels on white paint but otherwise a very nice car. I particularly like the seats

[95 fiesta si]

I really like these and that interior and dash look bang on.

[lewisf182]

Certainly looks the part! Kinda what puts me off ever buying an a45, they look literally the same as lower spec ones. At least the c63's etc you can tell a mile off. But it does look gorgeous

Quick google says if the car thinks you are going to sleep while driving it shows you a picture of a coffee cup and beeps at you.

The A class is one of the few cars I like the look of, problem is I keep looking at the A45, which is far too expensive.. I think they need a mid range between the sport and A45, say 250-270hp, 2wd.
Only seen one A45 on the road but plenty of the lesser models. I wonder what residuals will be like.

I like that. I think they look great with the AMG body kit on them. The interior looks a lovely place to sit.

[anonymous-user]

Not a fan of white mercs and black wheels combo, and the need to add amg to everything, but it looks nice and a nice interior.

[snowley]

Really like that interior, haven't seen one that close up inside before.

Cool car though, such a massive improvement on the old A class.

[Davel]

I like that!

Do the trousers come with it?

[thebigmacmoomin]

Don't like what they have done with the screen. Looks like an after thought, they designed the car then forgot to add a screen for the sat-nav etc... Agree with the 5th gear team test, it needs to be angled towards the driver a bit.

I agree with this, it's hard to tell the A45 from this. I'd have to spec the aero package to make it stand out!!

They got this one very right I think, but I can't get my head round the headlights/grille for some reason.

Nice daily

[DanielJames]

Not a fan of the white paint but do really like these.

Saw one in a very bright blue colour the other day and it took me two glances to figure out what it was!

[sidekickdmr]

Yes the other colour I considered was the bright metallic blue, it is a lovely colour

However I am hoping to purchase an M6 as a weekend car in the new year and I really want the bright metallic blue with white leather.

2 bright blue cars would have been a bit much ha ha

[BREMBOV6]

Think these look brilliant! Very nice too

Shouldn't be classed as an AMG though

[DoctorX]

Lovely car. Not a fan of that display which looks like a cheap ipad knock off nailed to the dash. Wish it looked a bit more integrated. Wouldn't stop me buying one though.

Its not, it's an AMG Sport as per S Line, M Sport etc
