4:17 *It amazes me as a B Class owner (W247) B200 CDi Diesel why anyone would buy a A Class shrunken version of probably the best and most practical Car in the World [2 Bikes in Rear no Problem] 'B' Class Edition !*

Since wagons are a dying breed (they say) - I did start to look into these MPV (?) style cars, like this and the BMW 2 Tourer. I must say I'd take any B-class over the BMW but the new range of engines and infotainment is well above class in the Merc! Also trying to get my dad to buy an older B-class - so I can compare it to my E46 Touring LOL!!

I have a 200cdi 2010 fitted with DAB and Sat nav, pulls like a train and can burn off most boy racers. Great car, would def buy another

"It's easy to get in and out of you know" really made me laugh, classic top gear joke.

Hi my friend,

I'm planning to buy a 2015 B250 sports tourer, 111k kms. It will be my first car in Toronto but worried about maintenance cost.
Can you share how much it cost yearly?

Is it suitable for disabled person needs to get in and out and place a wheelchair in a boat please ? Which one is more convenient GLA or B Class please ??? Thanks for review anyway .

[qwerty-lr]

Have they lowered the spec of the B Class / Compact ranges premium and premium plus models? I see the CLA class has lost some features including the Easy Tailgate, wireless charging, upgraded sound system and heads up display.

[anilutkulu]

Is it true Mercedes will discontinue B Class ?

[JC-huwd]

What's the best model choice for town driving? I dont do regular motorway driving so think i would have problems with a diesel but im not sure?

[dealman]

How does the driving experience compare to a countryman S?

[mpw]

Your specs are wrong for sports executive edition, 17 wheels only, no privacy glass, oh no android or apple, that is an extra

Mercedes have lost the plot. They use Renault engines in some of their vehicles. If I pay the money that Mercedes expects (which is not inconsiderable) then I should get a Mercedes with a Mercedes designed and built engine.
