Looking for a B class I am considering buying a B class. Can current owners please provide some feedback (good and bad ones) ?
I have search this forum but did not find much on the B class. It is such an unpopular model? |

Re: Looking for a B class You can refer here for feedback: http://www.mybenz.org/zoopp/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14603&forum=34
Also another thing to note is that the car is front wheel drive and front-heavy so expect heavier tire wear on the front, as well as the possibility of having to replace a ball joint. Or two. Early B170s, and also to some extent, B180s, have been known to be underpowered. Up to speed it is a comfortable ride, but it won't happen instantaneously. Also, if you're referring to the W246 B-class (new model) then I'm afraid all this don't apply, that's a completely new car. Cheers! |

Re: Looking for a B class I am specifically looking for the B200 2013 onwards.
Wondering whether the B class has any class specific issues, eg the SBC pump issue in W211. Is it true it comes with special run flat tires and has no spare tire? |

Re: Looking for a B class Hi,
On the run flat tyres, yes it does. No spare either. The w204 (C class) however comes with pneumatic tyres and a spare. This was as of Feb/Mar 2013 when I enquired and test drove both models at Hap Seng Star. Regards... |
