Noted, currently driving a Honda Fit, giving Wife to drive until next year (Coe due next year) so was thinking to get one for myself.. Don't know to get a 2nd hand, maybe (. 2010-2011 Gti )or A180/A200, friends was telling, buy mercs better, 2nd hand Gti you add more to get 2013 A200 or either Nee A180 or 2015 A180. But from what I see the specs, GTi seems more powerful and better.

I was considering for 2nd hand car too but with the COE prices going south then make more sense to get new car.

 

If u buy directly from the AD, they will give some over trade on your existing car if you trade in also got service credits. For conti I think the warranty is imp, buy new you are covered for first 3 years.

The best was the small batch of A220 CDI that came with Intelligent Light System, the projector lens had red rings. Those units were loaded to the brim with equipment, even got the Dynamica microfibre alacantara-like seats.

 

As for space, I find the A3 wins out on A-class but 1-series is the worst.

If dun consider the boot size jus the space for passengers then A class is bigger than A3. 1 series is really small for driver and rear passengers.

Noted bro, considering.

You can consider A200 since it's cheaper than A180 (If u buy at this round Coe price).

 

Go test drive and give us some reviews.

Are you sure? I have sat in both and I felt the A3 was much more spacious than the A-Class.

You can also test drive instead and give us your review bro hehe

Bro, I did a short review yesterday, you can refer to last few of my posts here. :)

Yes I am sure. For the A3 it has a low roof line. Hence the rear head room is small also if getting in and out of the rear doors have to bend your head lower. Not as bad as the CLA but certainly smaller than the A class.

I think he maybe referring to the A3 sportback which is definitely much more roomier than the A class.

Yes the A3 sportback would have high roofline. If buying A3 I would get sedan instead cos of the rear DRL, it's a beautiful car.

If I were looking at A class, my personal preference would be a silver AMG line. [:)]

The display green colour is too loud and young for me. I would think white or dark silver is nice.

This is the A180 Style display unit now at CnC.

 

This is a minor improvement over 2015 model.

- new layout for steering wheel control ( still 6 buttons on each side, but layout is different. I personally prefer the old layout)

- Audio20 headhunt now comes with SD card slot

- Centre console display now 8" instead of 5" 

 

Software for Audio20 ... not sure if its improved to be the same as W205. And does it comes with Apple CarPlay? I understand all 2016 mercs come with CarPlay from what i read.

I also prefer the old steering wheel layout. The metal strips is longer, the new one looks fat. Haha

 

There are 7 ambient lights to choose from. I think B class got 12.

 

Pls share if you know what's other differences in this FL.
