The Mercedes B-class seems to cater to no particular niche as it can serve the needs of every type of car buyer
. Young or old, tall or shortpeople from all walks of life will have plenty to be happy about in the Mercedes B-class.
If the A-class is deemed too small or even too short for the picking then the Mercedes B-class may serve a better and more complete purpose. It is a bit larger and longer than the A-class but it is styled in the same manner as the smaller brethren. The B-class aims to perform like an MPV while still remaining light and agile enough to be used everyday around town.
And use it you will as the B-class also throws in some entertainment for the sports-oriented motorist. The firm suspension settings will work wonders when the B-class is faced with a wide-open and expansive road along with lightning quick corners and uneven road gradients. It is suffice to say that if you wish to drive the B-class enthusiastically then you will be thoroughly surprised that the car is very much willing to oblige. It may not look like such from the outside but the B-class actually behaves like a sporty compact sedan.
The firm ride may irritate the faithful to the Mercedes brand but it never turns harsh inside the lovely interior. Road noise and wind noise is kept to a minimum while the ride remains compliant enough to rack in some serious miles. The steering is light and easy enough to manipulate on tight city streets but it actually firms up when triple-digit speeds are obtained.
The 2.0-litre diesel lump is the pick of the bunch as it delivers 140hp and up to 50 miles to the gallon in the combined cycle. The Mercedes B-class can also be ordered with a choice of petrol engines to those who prefer the driving feel of a petrol car.
