Mercedes-Benz A-Class A200 BlueEFFICIENCY Style Review
Third time's the charm
10 Jul 2013
Introduction
First conceived nearly 13 years ago, the A-class was an attempt by Mercedes-Benz to plug a compact car segment which they left out previously. What they ended up with was a car that seemed out of place among their traditionally rear wheel drive sedans.
Unlike the other cars under the pointed star, the A-class had a short compact chassis coupled to a rather tall body. This invariably led to a stability problem which was uncovered by the Swedes in an automobile test. The ‘elk test’ was derived to test a vehicle’s ability to remain stable when the driver swerves to avoid an obstacle usually at speeds between 50 – 80kmh.
Unfortunately, the first A-class didn’t fare well for the test but once the problem was discovered though, Mercedes-Benz got its industrial might behind it and the baby Merc was fixed promptly.
Despite the problem with the first generation, the A-class maintained its popularity as an easy entry into the premium marque. Globally, Mercedes-Benz sold more than a million units making it one of the most successful models ever produced by the company.

The entire experience from registering my car on OneShift to the handing over to the dealer was very pleasant. The process at OneShift was efficient and transparent. Special thanks to RenAi from OneShift who was very detailed and helpful.

Good response and support from Angie at One Shift when I wanted to sell off my old Camry which was due to be scrapped in early February. Would recommend this platform for those wanting to buy or sell their cars.
