    This is also gonna be the last RWD 1 Series which is a shame, but I was speaking to my local dealer, they said the 2 Series Coupe will also go to FWD but the M240i could be in with a chance of staying RWD.

    Nice little hot hatch. Quite a bit more expensive than the 7th gen Golf GTi but atleast it looks like a fun hot hatch, not like the boring 7th gen Golf GTi. Can't even compare to the very very odd 1st gen A class. Should have had airbag suspension which other Mercedes models have. Why this AMG model doesn't have air suspension? It can't be the lack of space to fit, air suspension is much more compact than springs and shock absorbers together. This would have made it more comfortable and still sporty to drive.

    @gavinlove2112 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As an owner of an A220d Amg Line I can say it's actually really very refined on the road, however the A250 really is harsh due to its AMG suspension. However, they're both better than a 1 series and are much more confidence inspiring than an A3 on a country road.

    Tell you what... this car is fucking everywhere at the moment. I get the impression everyone one who would've normally bought a Golf, A3 or 1 series, has gone over to Merc. So from that perspective it's a success for Merc. A massive success. Wouldn't buy one myself, but that's just me. It's still a massively popular car.... And it's not a Golf. so.... it's not a bland ugly piece of tat.

      *ahem* sorry about that, we were talking about BMW design were we? The sad thing is ever since the S-Class came out, all new Mercedes have began to look the same like Audis, which is a big shame, as the previously lineup of C, E and S couldn't look more different. It won't be long before the A-Class and the CLA-Class look the same as a small C-Class. And now it's BMW which are JUST distinguishable between each other.
