Mercedes-Benz B-Class B200 Sport CDI 2008

This B 200 CDI Sport is a bit like Marmite... You either love it... or hate it! This one is a decent spec. Averaged 49mpg since new and now done 10,000 miles. The the gearbox is a CVT (Constant Variable Transmission) and I wasn’t too sure if I would like it but yep, it’s great. The equivalent of 7 speed auto and it it is very good. The build quality is fabulous. Compared to my E class the radio/CD player quality is below par, wish we had picked a better sound system on this B Class. The bluetooth for mobile telephone comnnection is great, it works everytime and is a good addition. The self parking feature (parallel) is just weird, great but weird. First time we used it we were very sceptical that it would be any good, but it really works well. The boot space with the seats up is a little smaller than anticipated but this little niggle is soon forgotten when you drive this fabulous car. We all know you pay more for the badge... and in my opinion it is well worth it. Wouldn’t swap this for any other small MPV. We are really happy with this baby. We call it Marmite too. :-)
