Mercedes-Benz launches a lot of cars. Just take a look at the number of different product lines it has on its books. Most of them are unreserved success stories, but once in a while a problem child emerges. Step forward the B-Class. In no way a bad car, the B-Class never really recovered from its tough start in life. It's one of those vehicles that, as a consequence, makes a much better used buy than new purchase. Here's what to look for.

Been driving the 2010 w245 for the last 3 years. Apart from the regular changes like oil and tires (which was needed), it’s one of the most practical cars I’ve ever driven
Is your a diesel or petrol. Just looking at these at the minute
Hot a b150 and 170. Petrol. Both amazing reliable
Just bought one. Automatic glad to hear its a good car
What year model did you buy?
I bought one of these yesterday after owning an a160 and I love it.
I'm interested in getting a b200 turbo. How have you been liking it so far?
Great review as always. Do you have an R class review
Thank you! Yes we do, we'll try and get it uploaded as soon as possible.
bought a 2011 B200 . about 2 years ago now . original battery has died last winter, replaced , original tires , popped , replaced , back window wiper arm broke off during a non touchless car wash , replaced , and now I'm changing the original brake pads and rotors . for an 11 year old car with almost 100 thousand kilometers on it I'd say that's a pretty good deal for the 9,200 cdn dollars I spent .
My husband bought it for me after having a Toyota .i can’t wait to try this one.
planning on buying a 2009 B class, with petrol 1.7 116 hp and an automatic CVT transmission. Is it any good?
I want to buy a B clase 2009, petrol engine, automatic. What engine should I choose? 150 or 170?
Hi! Both are very similar it’ll come down to the best deal
Hi I see a market b170 with manual gearbkx from 2005
Just bought a 15 year old A class diesel.
Great wee car.
Very nice!
2008 1.7 has a horrible stiff "sport" suspension which makes it a nightmare in dirt roads and plowed snowy roads.
Im looking to buy a 2006 one. 1.5 litre.
my mums buying a b200 turbo for 3,500$ idk how its going to go but hopefully good
If it is not super high milage or the gearbox is CVT with no oil change in its previous life than it will be okay..these little multi carrier tractor's are very crash save (hence the odd construction) and they are basic enough to be reliable if treated normally
@@kitecattestecke2303 hey, what happens if the gearbox is CVT or have it oil change in its previous life?
@@mohammedkazeem6840 it will last long, the cvt gearbox will not break like on a nissan or other cheap small cars. The belt drive is very modern with rubber that can withstand oil easy and steel braiding inside, the outsider of the belt is steel plated like a dinosaurs back or fish with steel Plates that rub on different sizes of steel drums.
I have driven w169 and t245 both CVT with 235.000km+ so the gearbox can last, it shifted like CVT does
Steel on steel is low friction and lasts if oil is changed and use as mediator. The cvt can reach high milage in town driving with insane amounts of shifts if service is done right, which is usually not...
Oil change on cvt is mandatory at every 60.000km or earlier! I would do it every 5years with less milage just to have fresh oil.
And BTW, don't take it apart it is complex :-9 strap it to palette and ship to expert firms for reconditioning if you breaks it ...
@@kitecattestecke2303 up a meeting and we
How did you go with the car, did your mum face any issues?
Can not afford new cars or their prices, so I buy "used" with 150 to 200 Kms usually and have continued to do many searches and reviews to determine the best and I have to say I like the design of this M B series, as mentioned a practical design interior wise. Similar to the Mazda 5. But CVT transmission are not reliable in the long run on any car. That is just the history of this transmission design from what I gather. And my go to transmission guy says stay away from cars with such if you do not want the price of a rebuild. So in essence these are disposable cars. Cheaper to install for the manufacturer but a dead horse for the potential owner and not worth the trouble for a used owner unless you get it for a cheap price, knowing you most likely will have to replace the tranny. Just saying.
Very nice honest review ..
Buy B200 turbo & 0-100 = 7 seconds of fun
Another Great detail review, thank you
But not sure if this is correct but do they have the same French Renault engines in these B class'?
Hi! Yes, that B-Class did use Renault engines
On the b200 no
@@CarandDrivingCarReviews no the W169 A and T245 where never equipped with Renault engines never!! M166 and M266 are underfloor gasoline engines 100% developed and build by Mercedes and are in direct linage to the M166 from W168 first A Class generation
No
TCU problems on CVT gearbox. Big headache.
Do you have one?
Doesn’t have CVT it’s a DCT
How to open sun roof
My Mrs and I bought a W245 B Class a few years ago, it's been so good that we've just bought an additional one.
Is yours a petrol or diesel ?
Hi,
Im considering to buy a B Class 180. Does it worth?
Yes
No. If you want reliability and efficiency and cheap maintenance buy Japanese.
Like a Toyota auris or a Honda civi/jazz.
Thank me later
@@maxk888 which ones of those are more practical though ?
Thank you
Did you buy?
اريد شراء b200 model 2006 هل تستحق ذلك ؟؟؟
Guys, any impressions about the B200 CDI, automatic, 2.0, diesel?
What can be the cause when it doesn’t speed past 40
Currently having same problem
Maybe fuel filter? Sometimes there’s an in-line filter on fuel line just needs replacing filter had this on Mitsubishi but I don’t know about Mercedes that’s separate to normal filter in engine bay hope that helps
Anyone own the Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5 Petrol .. looking at purchasing, would love some comments
2:20 The B class is heavy, so the 1.5 litre engine is weak if you need to use the load carrying capacity of an MPV. ☮️
Do you mean I should go ahead and get one?
Yes they are nice cars and very basic reliable cars a little reminiscent of the old W123/w124 times if you look for the design rules.. Safety first, less complexity yet heavy axle, springs for a tiny car compared to others. The doors shut beautiful, replacement parts are cheap so if you wrench its nice
Hi I've purchased a 2006 B200 CDI autotronic with leather seats GPS etc. for cheap only 200000 Kilometers. I'm happy it's an economic car
"Beautifully built" and they zoom in on the misaligned panels LMAOOOO what a freaking shitbox
👍👍👍
Thanks!
which is better, A class or B class?
B Class because its used only a fraction more expensive but offers a lot more space/safety and uses the same replacement parts cheaply as its based on A class
Don’t buy B or A class!!! TCU issue is chronic on these models cvt transmission. I have changed TCU 4 times. After using it a couple of days, it started not shifting(like always drives at 2500-3000rpm) and when l release the gas to slow down and maintain the space between me and the car front, it’s like the car was hitting back and forth.
you probably got very unlucky
Mercedes are smart. They made a car for the working class so they can rip them off.
Most unreliable car. Be ready to spend every now and then on suspension, joints, and the fuel consumption is more costly than a wife with an eye for designers fashion items.
well,then buy chevrolet spark petrol
