11 years later this video finally became relevant to me
in nearly 10 years he hasnt aged a day
@@tommyolsen8224 its looks very outdated
@@OpelCorsaAmg1 I agree
@@OpelCorsaAmg1 I think the comment was referring to Matt Watson and not the car itself
@@OpelCorsaAmg1the front still looks decent tbh but Yh the interior is really outdated
@@joshua3027yh back then it was considered one of the best in class but now 😂😂😂
Man im serious, Mat Watson ...this guy is the best car video reviewer on you tube hands down.
thumbs up so Mat Can see that we appreciate his hard work
Sir... After many years... you finally have your first "thumbs up" so mat Watson can see it...
If he was still on this channel-
FROM here to Carwow 🔥
Here because 'Felix Wiesner' from the very last scene is a friend of mine 😂
Carwow best
i guess it is kinda off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch newly released tv shows online ?
8 years after and I'm in love for this car. Awesome car.
How’s it like? I’m 18 and I’m about to finance a 2013 model?
@@lucasballan115 All I can say is tha5 this is a great car. And design it much more better than a BMW 1.
@@lucasballan115 Did you get it? I'm torn between this and the Audi A3 1.8 Turbo
@@theelephant5974 yes I got it and I’m in love with it. Both interior and exterior is beautiful. I’m not sure what the car you’re looking at drives like but this drives smooth and beautiful
My driving test is in three weeks and this is the car I’m buying. Can’t wait.
I just passed my driving test and immediately bought a Mercedes. Everyone says I'm crazy because I saw your video and it's the car I've been wanting for a long time. Thank you for sharing your video about Mercedes cars.
Congratulations. You’re not mad I’ve had a few Mercedes including the a class and they have all been fault free and very nice cars. I’m currently driving c class.
This guy sounds like the guy from art attack
Lol I've always thought that!
Omg it kinda does
haaaa! nailed it! you're absolutely right !
thanks im never going to be able to look at matt the same away again
The guy from art attack was from Liverpool.this guy is from the midlands👍but he does sound similar which is strange because it’s fairly far apart.
I'd buy this car just for the looks and performance ..who needs social media on a car ? yeah , I'd connect my phone just for some music ( unless you're really obsessed with facebook & twitter)
Gray Filtered Bruh What perfomance? It has Renault engines
hi past, i wished 2020 never came
Me too, with my music and GPS.. What's more?
Amazing how "flame surfacing" as done by Chris Bangle for BMW was laughed at and now is seen on most new cars 7 years later. Love this review and the car.
This car is very good and it is just better in every way than the old one
i hate youtube with their 30 sec ads. taking the piss

Now look at mat watson
More reviews like this! Longer and in depth review! Love it!
Sheer Magic i'd say! Was searching for this review yesterday and today here it is! Thank you CarBuyer And Mat and Rebecca of course ;)
I love carbuyer. you have by far the best car reviews on youtube.
Amazing looks, so slick and modern, plus awesome interior!
I am looking forward to drive this myself in a few weeks. To me it looks great, better than all the competitors. Great design.
young footballers first car
True
no hahah I have E class
Well....Rashfords a young footballer and he drives a Range Rover...
amin.ckone times were different back then, also I’m sure he’s talking about academy players 17 to 18 not established first team players 😂
Well I have this car and I love it
Why are your comments so negative?? Its a great car. Car Buyer is the best car reviw channel i have ever seen. So precise and well explained. Staright to the point.
Mat you are awesome! As always, great reviews, looking forward to the next one.
Drove a colleagues one of these the other day and enjoyed the ride. It looks brilliant from the outside, especially in silver/gunmental which the BMW and Audi do not particularly, unless you go for the high end sports ones. Common view seems to be the BMW and Audi are better, but trouble is everyone has one (both my parents have A3's!),they're common whereas the Mercedes isnt' which is what attracts me. Not even going to mention the Golf. Not a lot else in the market really that I'm aware of?
Just get the Mazda 3
I'm faced with a similar problem
Dealer loaned one to me for an afternoon while updating the Command system in my wagon. It was a 200CDI model, the same motor I had in my c-class. In the c-class it was authoritative. In this little car it scooted quickly. It was brisk and agile and as tight as any Mercedes I have driven. Zero body or interior rattle. Harmon Cardon stereo sounds good too. For a little car it does have a high starting price but it is all Mercedes quality with no shaved corners to cheapen it.
Love the standard collision prevention assist. It's like distronic (i think it's still an option)
now this was a unique review:)carbuyer best reviews ever!
No carwow
Awesome review Matt and the A-Class is a really sweet looking hatchback. Although Mercedes could have added a "pop up" screen instead of the fixed screen or at least integrated it in the dashboard.... Guess they had to cut corners somewhere.
Young Matt 😂
He didn't change even a bit.
Really good feature getting people involved in the review :)
Absolutely the best review so far :)
That was such a good review
It was very long and very detailed
Also a bit of fun!
It was hilarious to see my fb photo in that review! Haha. Great review as always. :)
I like this comment 7 years later
Mat just keeps getting better and better. He should have a TV Show, what are you brits thinking?
Seen one of these in a lovely blue colour ! one word = gorgeous
Thanks for clearing that up. Looks and sounds like an amazing car
Finaly! I waited so long for this. :)
I really love my A-class.
Great review!!
Please do more videos like this. Your reviews are excellent and deserve more time!
Thanks for these videos!
i want this car! perfect for the city
Awesome vehicle!!! I agree!!! But the BMW 1 series is it nice as well!!! I am very impressed with the CO2 emissions!!! Well done Mercedes!!! And nice review Mat!!!
I saw an A-class last night. At night it lights up like a Christmas tree, the front LEDs would put Audi to shame, very cool little car.
no idea why I'm watching a car review from 7 years ago when I'm supposed to search for 2020 cars
Nice review as always Matt. Can you please rank the following cars? V40 - A-class - 1-series - A3. Which would you pick, and in what order?
make every review as long as this one, it is much better! Cheers
Amazing Interior.
nice review! u should review the mercedes gl class!
really really tempted to get one, that or the 1 series newer version, stuck on this one!
I love how he talks about the autobrake as if it's new when Volvo have had it as standard on every new car since 2008 with the XC60.
Drove it. Loved it.
koolyman I
Looks amazing, I dig it!
fantastic review
Great Review, Love it !!!!
Love car buyer reviews
I really like it when the reviews are a bit longer, let's me know the car a a bit more.
I loved the design of the old a classes
Really great review.
3:17
I triggered the warning system once to in a Mercedes. In my uncles new SL63 AMG... And I wasn't even sleepy, I was just doing what you usually do with an AMG: Kill the rear wheels :D
longest car review I saw from them :O
great review
Awesome review Matt. Carbuyer is the best. :D
Just got one of these for my first car!! can't wait to drive it!
+Enigma3T They are better and cheaper first cars. But if you have the money.. do you booboo... do you!
+Стефан Србија yes plenty enough for a second hand A class thanks!
Enigma3T Well damn.. get it than you lucky guy you
+Стефан Србија I will thanks
We all know daddy's buying it or its finance
We hope your videos do not return to usual length at all. This is just fine!!
If I knew I could have been featured on a Carbuyer review, I would have commented!
Nice review!!!
This car looks AMAZING in Blue, on the picture of Top Gear magazine's car buyers guide
Ive never really looked at Mercs, simply because i always thought they were old mans cars. Well im 46 now so maybe im old enough to drive one! I dont like the Bmw 1 series, the shape is odd, and a there a lot of them on the roads driven by young lads and ladies who buy the bottom of the range model on a pcp, and think they are it. The Audi A1 is too small, bland, overpriced and only bought by people who try to show off. The Merc is definately for people who are comfortable with who they are, and buy it because they have good taste, and not simply because of badge snobbery. Bmw and Audi make great cars, but there are only 2 types of owner - the sales manager who sits in the outside lane of the motorway all day, and people who can only afford the cheapest models just to show off because its trendy.
I agreed
Why would you buy a car that depreciates out right?. Don't be a jealous fool, I myself have got a one Series and to be able to afford that at 18 is pretty good going so do yourself a favour and shut up.
+Simon George sweeping generalisations to justify your interest/purchase. It's easily said that Mercedes owners are badge snobs that like to own a trophy car to show people they've made it - when they haven't. That's got as much weight as your criticisms of BMW and Audi owners. If you like it, buy it. No need to make silly stereotype judgements.
Agree on series one drivers and A1 drivers most are just happy to have the badge and think they are posh and stylish when they just look like pretentious arses least they give you a good laugh when your see them, am no great lover of the Merc but at least you would not look like a pratt driving one.
I'm Your Huckleberry cheers for that, thank you.
i never liked A class, but this is so.much better than older version. thumbs up.
I like the A class looks a little bit more than the A3's and a lot more than the ugly 1 series...and the driver's seating position seems a lot sportier than the above mentioned ( + those seats = love'em) ! The back seems roomy as well (too bad for the boot opening, but not that big of a deal for me). Before this generation of the A class I never looked at it cause from the start It was more of a "mom's car", a glorified shopping cart...This change is awesome !!!
... and just to make it clear, I wasn't referring to you, Mat. Awesome review btw!
Love the Mercs & carbuyer reviews. About the length, I just hope you continue with this duration only for the exclusivity based on people's choice.
Same here, it looked awesome.
Very personable reviewer - West Midlands well represented. Good on ya!
please do a review of CLA also, please...thank you. x
Very nice Mat! Looking forward to my comments being shown next time :)
Great review. Would love to see you guys review a Rolls Royce someday.
FINALLY, thank u so much sir!!
Matt - great car, very cool review! I am enjoying your reviews everytime more and more. (No homo)
I've just brought a mercades a class 20131.8 after selling my 2.0 litre audi a4 2012 great car
8:20 That's me xD I forgot I wrote that comment though :3
great review.
Mat looks so young at that time😊😊😊
do a review on the 7th generation golf!!
its a very nice car and carbuyer car reviews are the best!!!!
Great review, Mat, im also glad to see some jokes in it :-D
what a sweet and gorgeous little car, I did a test drive and I love it (its not that little tho)
Do a review of the V40 :)
Is this coming to North America soon? It looks phenomenal!
Yt decided to recommend a car review 8 years later.
Wow, your longest ever review.
Have test driven BMW 1 series, Audi A3 and Mercedes A Class. Drive in Audi was great, but I love the A Class. The Engineered by AMG is beautiful, have not been able to test drive that yet. But that is the one for me! The interior is very up-market!
A-Class looks good from the outside, and even better from the inside!
But same spec 1-Series out performs and out handles it. I guess its a choice between looking good and having fun.
The A3 is very well made but personally I find it's styling too plain and predictable.
So when will the freedom-side-hand drive version be available?
This car is just beautiful
Hello
Great doing research for the purchase of a vehicle testing remains to say the least.
To reflect the thoughts of the people in the facebook link of this video in particular looks great.
I wish you success in your work. Regards ...
in a dilemma to pick between 200 and 250..well I am not gonna run on a track but I do need some fair amount of speeds on our highways.. Just concern about the noise level compared to the 250 and whether the ride is really that harsh... Please advice
It is a very good looking car. I remember when the concept version came out a few years back and it just stole the show at the New York Auto Show. I know the A-Class isn't coming to the states, but it will show up chassis wise in the form of the CLA. If it's anywhere good as this vehicle, I might be a buyer.
who the hell dislikes this amazing video.
Grat Matt = Great Review
Mat Watson, very good indeed. The car is pretty good too.
When will you review the CLA?!
