Chrome is sort of a trademark of Mercedes, therefore they won’t ditch it unless you pay extra. Also the Chrom trim shouldn’t be seen as cheap but premium in my opinion.
I get why some may think you’re being picky, but as someone who loves talking about cars (like you), I understand it’s in our nature to discuss things some people wouldn’t even pick up on. Great video - subscribed. 😃
My father bought a 2016 model (manual) with low millage only 50 000. he has the sport version with leather seats, its not full option but it has enough options. his old car was an vw golf 4 from 2001, so thats a big upgrade.

Either was okay unless car is tuned for premium or it was written on petrol cap it can take 95 and 98 then I wouldn’t bother paying the extra matey... Please like and sub TW
Couldn’t agree more, chrome on an AMG line shouldn’t exist! One that annoys me is the fact AMG lines can have halogens and not LED’s as standard, which ruins the AMG look in some aspects. Reverse camera option is one I’m certainly glad to have after watching this haha

Real exhaust on my SLK get sooty and black in a day or two after cleaning,and maybe most real chrome tips do,but your right to hate on your fake tips i hate any car with duel fake tips in the rear bumper so tacky and penny pinching not sure why any manufacturer thinks seeing day light through the fake tips and original tips is not off putting to buyers,or do they think we are all brain dead and cant tell the difference?

I have the same Audi A3 you had. But that car does have pretty chrome, the cruise control does not brake when letting go of the gas pedal and the arm rest lets cables go underneath aaand you had no problem with the exhaust :) You shouldnt sell that car because your video’s were very helpfull haha. Great vids mate keep up the good work.

I picked my A250 up on Monday and took it straight from dealership to get it de-chromed lol makes so much of a difference and also bought oem black mirrors, I’ve done so much to car in 5days lol....Tim your driverside window rubber seal needs to be pushed back in 👍
Yes mate, that’s on the cards deffo! Fitted black mirrors the other day! More to come! I’ll have a look Sunny, thanks mate! Please like and subscribe! Hit the notification button so you don’t miss out on the new videos! TW

Great video! I just picked up my own A Class A180D AMG Line Premium in Mountain Grey (with Night Pack :D) and I can already relate to some of the things you mentioned. One of the biggest annoyances I noticed after I purchased the car was its lack of cruise control! This is allegedly standard on A Class Sport and up models, and you using in this video has made me a little envious... The wires being crushed in the glovebox is annoying too, and on that topic with CarPlay, are/were you unable to change tracks on the steering wheel when using CarPlay? It's not possible for me, as the screen just says "CarPlay active". A major oversight in my opinion. Not only that but if you want to use the Bluetooth (so you can change songs with your steering wheel, WHEN you scroll over to the Audio tab), it just seems slow in general! Don't even get me started on that eco stop/start feature turning on every single time you turn on the car or change drive modes...
The Mercedes A Class seems to be something of a Wankers car. I drive a HGV thousands of miles every week all over the country and every time I see an A Class it is being driven by a complete and utter Wanker! I have yet to see one being driven responsibily. It seems that Audi drivers are the same
You do have a budget spec, you dont have the electric seats nor the push button start

I have the pre facelift 2015 A250 and 90% of your issues I don’t have with mine. I have 0 complaints. Car is absolutely perfect
Great video regardless
Confused at the armrest issue - Is the connection not Bluetooth for music?

4:30 the cruise control is actually braking when slowing down.
I wonder if most all or most of these things have been rectified in the 2021 or 2022 version?

Would u recommend this car for a 6ft 1 guy for a first car?
My bro had one and he’s 6ft 7
@@TimWilliamsHD but could people sit behind him like is the car Spacious in that way
Would you recommend petrol/ manual or diesel/ automatic?
How much do you drive on the motorway? I’d go for the petrol auto any day, or the diesel auto if you do motorway driving most days
@@youraveragejoe1 town mostly 👊🏽 thank you dude
Do all A classes sound like that or is just the 250 version ?
A250 only...

You change the exhaust ?
I can easily close the arm rest with cable sticking out 🤔
Made-up Universe same here, the cables go either side of the locking mechanism or out the back near the hinges.
Fair review, I had the c300 hybrid, Windows did the same. I'm still gonna buy an a class
Good video dude,these are the type of real world problems that would annoy the hell out of me as well 😅
What do you think about the reliability of us after 5 years
Get the w177 you will love it.
I know this video is a bit old now mate, just wondering did you fill up the A250 with Super Unleaded (98 Octane) or was 95 Octane okay?
Either was okay unless car is tuned for premium or it was written on petrol cap it can take 95 and 98 then I wouldn’t bother paying the extra matey...

Why do you cruise at 63mph loool. Firm it and drive at 70
Liked to save pennies so I could buy BMWs 😆

Why would you cruise under the speed limit?
Depends what speed the traffic is.
Remember, he is on the _M25._
