Well if it's got any of the above packages, then yes that would appear to be the case. I'm very happy with the MY2014 changes.

Colour screen and command online with the iphone will make the wait worth it

I need some help I am planning to change my cars run flats to normal

I need to order my normal tyres the rim is 17 inch 5 spoke and the tyre it says R66 would anyone be able to tell me which tyre it is the exact size...

MB lists them thusly.

43.2 cm (17 ") alloy wheels in 5-twin-spoke design with 225/45 R17 on 7.5 J x 17 ET 52.5, code R11

R66 is the code for Runflat tires, MOExtended in the list below.

Wolfgang, do You know where I can download this manual in .pdf?

 

[Wolfgang]

Haven't seen an W176 A-Class pdf version yet. MBUSA.com hosts a great collection of owner manuals in pdf, also going back several years, to 2000, and may add the B-Class Electric Drive and CLA for model year 2014.

I'm not sure if I read correctly, but does the a250 have 4matic as well like the a45? and does it come as standard?

No definitely no 4matic as standard for an A250, and it's not yet an option here.

Damn, they've gotta stop adding more stuff...thanks by the way for that mr Merc.

My interpretation is the silver bit at the bottom the door as shown in alebonau's pic below

Thanks Alebonau

As I'm sure most of you have been reading every single possible review of the A-class, I came across this interesting one.
In particular it talks about the sound. "The A250 Sport has an overtly sporty character. It even sounds hot, thanks largely to the removal of one of the mufflers (no kidding!)
http://gas2.org/2013/04/02/mercedes-benz-a250-sports-car-review/

Thanks for that link, quite a good rap up, but don't agree with his problem about pricing and not giving it 4.5. On the contrary, I think for what you get standard for the price actually makes it worth 4.5 stars!

Can someone please confirm for me the maximum power? I thought it was 166kw, but everywhere I read 155. I thought it produced the 166 for 30 seconds at a time, which is quite a long time given it runs to 100k/h in just 6.6 seconds, giving you another 23.4 seconds of full power! Does anyone know how/when and /or what conditions it produces the 166, and how you might be able to invoke it deliberately?

On kickdown.

Thanks wolfgang, much appreciated ツ

I know the a45 has launch control, but does the 250, and if so, anyone know the procedure and tried it?

 

[kaktusdigital]

It's rather interesting that the overboost feature is not heavily marketed, I would have thought number junkies would be all over it.

Perhaps someone can clarify. if I can get 166kW for 30seconds at a time, presumably only used for overtaking - I'm essentially getting a 166kW car? I can understand if i were to track it, then that's a different story.

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

It's only for 10 seconds, not 30 seconds.

 

[kaktusdigital]

that's interesting, i've read a few reviews stating 30 seconds.
It's certainly not the first time reviews have got it wrong!

 

[alebonau]

hmm, not giving up the "sill back" whatever that is hehe

ps the little bit of chrome on the glove box handle looks like going too. pity these little touches add some pizazz to the car.

you know some of the things people instantly notice on the car and go wow...the lit up mercedes - benz when open the door. hope that never goes. wife likes the chrome on the backs of the front seats too around the port hole under the head rest. red seats ? wife loved them. first thing she said when wrapped one around her was wow its red how cool is that ! these are distinctive things. I guess doesnt float everyones boat though.

ps another lovely touch is the pre-safe on the seat belts .... its like the car gives you a little hug of acceptance just before you take off hehe love it !

aww.. i want that...

does the A200 get overboost as well???

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

I don't think so Gumpy.

it would seem that all models ordered now are going to get the MY14 changes. My dealer confirmed it today.

Hopefully mine will be a MY14.

GREAT VIDEO! The most amazing part...seeing that somebody ACTUALLY ordered Canyon Beige.
