MERCEDES BENZ A CLASS
Now returned as a more larger vehicle (remember the diminutive A Class back then?), the A Class can be had in regular A250 or sporty AMG. Our tip? Start with the C Class unless you are short in funds.
The Good: Decent engines, stylish
The Bad: Firm ride
Price Range: P2,680,000-P4,750,000
Our Rating: ***
