Not driven the car that much as of yet, but so far feels very nice. Steering is much harder compared to previous a-class I had. Takes slightly longer to pull off from stop (due to being diesel?) but power is definitely there after the initial start. Handling so far was good, only thing I missed was the rear wiper in the big downpour that came! The wheels are slightly larger around the side, so should hopefully stop any damage to the alloys.

In terms of servicing, the delivery driver said don't bother with any plans as this car will be every 2 years to service/19,000miles or might not even have - the on board computer will inform when to do it.

The touchscreen is really responsive, even the faintest touch will register to it. Haven't set up Apple CarPlay yet, as waiting for new phone to arrive tomorrow! One annoying thing so far, is can't change settings without having to physically touch the screen - no remote control button to use instead (unless I haven't come across it yet).

Will be looking at installing dashcam into the car over the weekend. Let me know if you guys want any other pics or info - will try to play around with car next few days and report any new findings.

Is it wired Apple car play?

And give us your initial thoughts on MPG once you’ve given it a few runs

I wouldn't think so, as the wireless charging is in the middle console with only a USB C port there (if I remember correctly).

Will do

Take it carplay runs off the usb under centre dash then? Was hoping to use the usb under armrest to hide phone and cable 👎🏻

Just some nightime shots of the interior all lit up please mate.

I think you are right about settings too btw. Its all touchscreen now unless your using the view button on steering wheel to change menus.

P.S totally didnt even realise there is no rear wiper 😮

Looking good!

Yep, wiresless on 2021MY cars that went inyo production from mid July. You can buy a USB dingle to make it wireless from a third party. But at circa £170 it's not worth it. Others have managed it by long coding the system electrics and what it needs, and that is the 5G connection being made active.

So people who are receiving come Dec/Next year will have wireless carplay?
