This is a real turn up for the books. I remember when the first A class came out and it was like a small box on wheels . The thing that was great about the original A class was that you could get so much in it, due to it’s many seating options .  This new car certainly will not be the same. However I do like it as the new shape does look rather sexy.

There will be several versions of the car including a coupé, crossover and a five door version. There are several cars driving around Germany at the moment, and if you manage to take a photo of them it could enable you to win a free trip to the Geneva Motor Show! See Mercedes web site for more details of this.

This is a really clever car . I like it a lot, not because it is VW but the fact that it actually sits into their brand very well. The size is good because it’s between a Golf and a Tiguan. It is all wheel drive and looks sporty too. I fear that the 20” inch wheels could be a bit too big but if you’re in the market for a bit of bling then this is the one for you.

Wait for it…87mpg. This is because it is part petrol and part electrical – just plug into a 230 volt supply. I think that this is a brilliant car and ticks a lot of the boxes.

This was always going to happen . I see the day coming when the Japanese make a car that when the door closes it sounds like the Germans have built it. Their latest offering is the Suzuki Kizashi which is aimed primarily at the Mondeo man. I think this is a very good car that will give VW a run for their money. It is not quite there but you do get a lot of extras free.  I can see this strive for perfection really taking off, as new markets with lots of money such as India and China will be wanting a German built car but for the price of a Japanese car. This car is a very good starting point and it costs £21995 and you even get 4 wheel drive. Please click the link below to see a video of it.
