Mine was ordered by Nicky (based at AC Glasgow Head Office) via Perth Dealership. I emailed him explaining i was advised by my local dealer to contact dealer from where i got the car. He emailed me back the word document with email add where to email.

I can email the doc if you require. Have they given you your reg number?

I didn't take out the service plan with AC, can I take out a service plan direct with MB for 2yrs (that will cover both services) eventhough I have a 3yr lease & obviously hand back the car before 3rd service is due

The red looks good btw ST09

I signed up for 3 year service plan with MB dealer directly. Spark plugs and air filter require changing at 3 year or 46500 miles.

Year 1 – Service A approximately £275.00

Year 2 – Service B plus replacement of the brake fluid approximately £501.00

Year 3 – Service A, replacement of the air filter and replacement of the spark plus approximate cost £422.00

Service plan is cheaper.

Hadn't realised the servicing was so expensive! How much was the service plan?

[wilbo83]

Am I right in thinking there are a few in here who went from a Cupra to an A250? My Cupra lease ends in April and I am considering an A250 to replace it (hoping there may be some deals on the horizon) so would be interested in a detailed comparison / thoughts from those who have made that change.

I've gone Manual Cupra (took delivery just before the digi dash) to A35 Premium with Night Pack.

I've driven to work and back twice, and that's it so can't comment really on how the drive is yet - auto is nice in traffic! In terms of place to be, Merc is miles ahead, features coming out of everywhere, auto park which I doubt I'll ever use.

The Cupra didn't feel old to be in, but this with the 2 huge screens, ambient lights etc is definitely a nice place to be sat in traffic on a dark, wet, weekday evening

What colour red is that please?
I'm wondering because the free Jupiter Red was discontinued in the summer and there was no red option at all in the October price list, but the December price list has Patagonia Red as a £795 option.

It is Jupiter Red. Ordered in June before it got pulled.

£29 per month. I did set it up for 3 years but cancelled it. Thinking if i do it right i might get away with 3rd service.

Ahhhh...I see, I thought it looked like Jupiter.
Shame its no longer an option because it is a very nice colour.

I came from a manual Cupra 300 to a A250 amg line premium.

Things I don’t like about the Merc -

No apple car play / android auto as standard ( used it all the time on the Cupra and I’m too tight to pay £300 on the Merc as the built in sat nav is good on the whole )

The engine in the Merc is very unrefined when cold and lacks guts / low end torque, it only really starts to move when giving it the beans. Where as the engine in the Cupra is utterly brilliant which we all know 😃

Lacks adaptive cruise control unless you pay £1500 for the advanced driving pack

It has a very low engine gaurd / front bumper, even more so than the Cupra so I’ve been taking it very steady over speed humps and it’s not caught so far * touches wood*

Things I like -

The Merc is a proper lovely place to be ( the Cupra was very nice IMO, but Merc just feels relaxing to drive and looks mega with all the ambient lighting plus the heated seats get used all the time )

Keyless entry I personally like Especially when carrying my baby girl or bags I don’t have to fumble around in pocket for the keys, the A class key also disables it’s signal when it’s not in motion, which means it’s not vunerable to “relay theft” when parked outside your house.

Thanks for posting, all useful info. My Cupra is DSG and also considering the A250 AMG Premium (or another Cupra). The December revision to the brochure looks to now include smartphone integration as standard, which is a nice change as like you I use AA daily in the Cupra. Interesting to hear your views on the performance, I know it's not going to be as good as the Cupra but hoping it will still be enough to put a smile on my face. Shame it lacks low end torque. Would love an A35 but the A250 will be pushing the budget already.

How does the 'economy' compare to the Cupra? I know there are loads of variables to that, but my Cupra long term average is about 32mpg and was hoping the A250 would be at least similar.

I joined a A class facebook group and also the a class club forum, although I am wishing I hadn't as all I have seen is owners having loads of problems, which is putting me off a bit.

Great that they have now included CarPlay as standard ( it bloody should be when even budget cars include it as standard and cost half the price ! )

It’s still quick when you foot it, but not the type of car I would try and find a nice road just to enjoy the drive. It’s just to relaxing in its nature.

Economy was 44mpg at 70mph when I travelled to the lakes on motorways, but in town economy seams similar to the Cupra which is a tad dissapointing as it’s 80hp less and 50nm less ( although not that I used 300hp of the Cupra in town anyhow )

Overall it’s a equal car to the Cupra IMO, the pros and cons against the Cupra all balance out.

She's arrived. Only driven it for 10 minutes and what a car it is. Anyone who got from Arnold Clark know if it comes with the phone cable or the adapter to normal USB?
