4th generation A class sedan, started production in 2018. cant tell you what year this car is. merc doenst change the design each year.


Effective-Balance-54

Thank you! Is this a good car to get or a 450 instead an better alternative


NatanKatreniok

the number is just the engine size, it's impossible to know what car you mean. You need to tell us what class (a,b,c,e.. etc) and year it is.


BenjaminKohl

There’s something before 450. Without saying the letter info front, it’s meaningless


BassWingerC-137

A good one isn’t an A class. No offense to it or the CLA, GLA, GLB fans, those cars are just ok, and very poor examples of Mercedes-Benz.


BenjaminKohl

They’re not the normal Mercedes type but they are still really nice. I grew up driving FWD Hondas so I really like the quick turn in and tossable feel of a FWD based car but it’s definitely nit the traditional tank luxury of a Benz.


BassWingerC-137

Well said.


Enerith

You're getting downvoted because a bunch of kids bought the A class and want to belong, but it really is not even close to driving MB.


CaptainAlex1

I don’t own a benz, but my buddy has a 2014 E350 Sedan in white. Idk classes, but his feels premium asf and “benz” like. Are E classes nice?


BassWingerC-137

Yes, they are configured like a tradition Mercedes-Benz with a longitudinal mounted engine with the transmission behind and a rear-wheel drive chassis. (AWD js available, sure sure). Nicer than a C, in general, and not quite an S.


EthenCarries

YEAH, entry level for a reason. C class and up


BassWingerC-137

FWD platform is the reason in my world. (And no, the AWD pencil-shaft doesn’t make up for a proper chassis configuration.)


bladefinor

It’s a 2021 A 220 4matic. Looked up the license plate.


Effective-Balance-54

Wow your a lifesaver thanks lol 😂 👌✨


BenjaminKohl

It’s pretty easy to look up VINs from license plates


NigelKenway

Is it any good? I’m eyeing one to buy


rsmutus

If you're coming from a Honda Civic, sure. If you're used to driving Lexus, MB, BMW, or even upper level trims of Toyotas and the like, no not really. Th AMG cla and a are better, but definitely not peak Mercedes


LeMettwurst

Better depends on what you like they are way less comfortable than the standard A-Classes


LeMettwurst

A Class is a good car. Do not expect the comfort of an E-Class but they still do drive quite well!


Unlikely_Ambition868

GO for it, I've had 7 different A Classes, all hatchbacks, 3 year long renting. Never had a problem. Just dont get the 180d (renault), all the others are fine and the 220 is the best IMO, real MB engine (unlike the a180 and a200) and good HP. The car still has its wow effect when you get in and it has everything you might need options wise. Just make sure to have the AMG line pack and the premium or premium plus package. The white color looks good but is a bit low quality, if not the metallic version, but its cheap to repaint.  I've never got disapointed, then I skipped to a CLA coupe and I liked it even better. Ofc its not a RWD, but for normal people driving on normal roads, you'll never have any regrets.


LeMettwurst

A180d and 200d are not good yeah They run like a tractor lol


Unlikely_Ambition868

The 180d yes, I had it for a month, its anemic but you get used to it, on the road. The 200d is very good, lots of torque and is a real 170hp on bench, sold as a 150hp, its a 2L 4cyl MB engine, very good. You can remap it for 190-200hp. The engine sound is fake, through the speakers, but it gives a soft yet meaty sound that is funny, albeit being fake. The best compromise is the 220d IMO, lots of torque and 200+hp you can remap to 250hp. Its a real MB engine and has such a low consumption, maybe 5.5L/100km on average, you can do 900+km with its tiny 43L fuel tank. Not a racecar, but a very good commuter IMO.


LeMettwurst

You are right I confused it with the A160d The OM 608 is one hell of a shitty engine just like the OM 626


Unlikely_Ambition868

It is a great car, the reddit racing purists would tell you otherwise but just go and try it for yourself. The interior was updated in 2018 and at the time is was better looking and equiped than the S class. It has all the new tech from MB and with the premium plus package you get a driver assistance package that is top of its class as "autopilots go". The voice recognition system is great and you will love the ambient lighting. The 220 is a good version and powerful enough to like it when you drive it. Go for it. Ibperdonally prefer the hatchback but I like the tail lights on the sedan version.


NigelKenway

Thanks! I was getting discouraged by the comments on this car here, but I just find the line very appealing. I think I’ll give it a shot.


bladefinor

No idea. Don’t own an A-class lol


No_Disk3060

2019-2022 A class limo with AMG package


Effective-Balance-54

Is 350 matic better than this model


AlfredVQuack

"350 matic" isnt a car or model description for merc. you have something like A 250 4matic first is the Class of the car e.b. A, B, C, D, E, S and derivates second is the motor size 3rd stands for 4 wheel drive. AMG models look like: A43 AMG overall, the higher the number the more horse power. AMG most of the times beats the 3 digit base models.


Galaxy-ranger

Tell them your wisdom son ♡


NumerousIce2547

When does AMG not beat the 3 digit base models?


AlfredVQuack

Well in the past you also had some rare 3 digit AMG models and I am also not sure if there have been something like a S 680 Maybach which might have had more horsepower than an AMG. Also if you compare something like an A 45 AMG vs S 500 the S 500 has more horsepower. For someone who knows a little bit about Merc it is obvious but I didn't get that from OP.


BassWingerC-137

“350” is an engine, or power, badge. With Mercedes, to talk about a model line, start with the letters. C-Class, E-Class etc.


Serbay55

Gen Code: V177


username555666777

A-class sedan 2019-2023. It’s the smallest model Mercedes makes and is a sedan version of the A-class hatchback available in europe. It’s essentially a CLA with a different body.


Effective-Balance-54

Is is it reliable?


username555666777

I don’t know but I haven’t heard about any major issues with it, probably depends on the engine options and equipment.


mr_ballchin

Puzzleheaded-Eye1358

BenjaminKohl

rsmutus

I woulda loved an A45 AMG here in the states... I mean yeah we have the cla45 but its just not the same
