Mercedes-Benz B-Class (2005 - )

Raised driving position, lots of interior room, decent diesel engines, good ride quality on smaller wheels.
Not good enough for the money, steering feels too artificial, woeful automatic gearboxes, lacklustre petrol engines.

Introduction

After a normal car, getting into the B-Class is slightly odd. You have to step up quite high. Then you find yourself sitting on the floor. It didn't do my back any favours.

Also Consider

  • Ford C-MAX 2010
    Neat styling. More practical than a Focus. Fine blend of ride comfort, handling and driver enjoyment. 1.6 TDCI emits 119g/km. High quality interior.
  • Volkswagen Golf Plus 2009
    Decent fuel economy across the range; excellent standard and optional equipment, including a self-park system.
  • Honda Jazz 2008
    Much prettier with increased room and better performance than original Jazz. More fun to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. 5 starts for this model, not the i-SHIFT.
  • Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2012
    Economical and practical second generation B-Class, interior quality promises to be improved.
