Mercedes Benz A Class - Generation 1 (2000-2003)

MERCEDES BENZ A CLASS (2000-2002)

Considered as the smallest Benz vehicle in the line-up (entry level in other words), the A Class has lots of kit for the size and this is the model affected by the infamous flipping in the elk test. While the novelty was there, it got worn off by a 2003 discontinuation.
