I don't need them to tell me about it; i have my friend wimmer and he says the car sucks! That's where the story about A class ends.

Your friend is mistaken big time. The new A-Class doesn't suck at all. The last generation did, this one doesn't. I bet he's a BMW fanboy eh?

The A 200 Turbo is a nice little car - but to expensive at all...

B-Class is decent, but the handling just totally sucks and the brakes are a little weak IMO.

The B200 Turbo was fast, but again, crap handling compared to the A-Class.

A friend of mine has an A150 for his work, and I must say, you car really go in that car. Handling isn't half bad. The manual gearbox of course sux, and the speed is non existant, but I must say that this car likes to take a corner much much more than the way it looks.
