introduced in 1997 and has become a big seller with more than six million on the roads of the world.

Matt Olivier said, “Many cars in the compact category are hatchbacks, but in complete contrast the Mercedes-Benz A-180 is a stylish four door sedan with the look of a coupe. The car has a four cylinder 1.3 litre powerful fuel efficient engine linked with front wheel drive through a seven speed automatic gear box”.
