Good points for this A170 cdi is Economy to run
Bad points is The Engine maintenance is very expensive due to bad design.
I had all injectors removed and replaced them; it took 8 hours to replace them and it cost me £1399 and this job can only be done at Mercedes benz centre. After 1 year they need replacing again.

Great little car the Mercedes A170d Avantgarde. For its size can cram as much into it as a bigger car. Returns over 50mpg (and cheap to insure) but need the Avantgarde spec to get any sort of luxury inside the cabin. Good driving position - quite high above the road.
Fine to drive on the motorway - not an involving drive but always feel safe at speed. Diesel engine great once you get going - not so good when moving off. Brakes are good but not brilliant.
Have found Mecedes dealers to be very sloppy. Car has been returned to me in a worse state than when I gave it to them! And they charge £90 an hour. This would bethe only reason why I would not buy another Mercedes...
