i think, power wise, a170 feels similar to previous a160.. interior, exterior, handling and ride more refined though.. at 175k, definitely worth considering.. btw, u might want to wait for a200 or a190d and compare then.. hope this helps..

Checked out the new A class today at 1 Utama where C&C was having some roadshow there. The new A is bigger than cars like the Jazz, Toyota ist, etc. Its a beautiful car, well built, black interior and aluminium trims etc. The high spec AG even comes with panoramic roof which should be really nice. My wife likes it a lot and I think it'll be yet another cute chick magnet car...

The one come with Panaromic sunroof price is Rm 193,888. other than the sunroof, it also come with 2 electrical seat and 8 airbags.

The standard Avantgarde spec price is Rm 178,888. No sunroof, no electric seat and 4 airbag only.

Personally i think the Standard Avantgarde is good enough already.....just 2 thing extra....have to pay extra for Rm 15k. Sigh......and the best thing about this car is the.....GEARBOX!!!!

This time they are using CVT Gearbox.....which is run 7 Speed and Jerk-less gear change.....something like Honda car lar.....but overall......WORHT TO BUY. Hehehehhe.... :lol:

Test drove the A170 recently... must say that i was quite impressed with it... It's really an A-to-B car for those who want the image of driving an MB, and doesn't really care about driving dynamics etc. A very rational purchase indeed!
