I had one as a hire car recently and it was a really nice car. Nice drivigng position too. Biggest down about it was the lack of power, it never seemed to be in the right gear and even when it was, there was just no real go. Admittedly it was just days old but I was left with the impression it was a bit gutless? It was a B150 I think?

The one I'm looking at is a b170 sport

My dad loves the B class and the A class. He's never owned one but the garage usually give him one when the Chrysler is in (And it's at the dealership alot).

no experience of the b class but two friends had the a class and both had major expensive issues with gearboxes. Seems on the a its relatively common on the semi auto box.
