Smaller car - M-B A-Class or Citroen DS3?

I currently drive the newer version of C-Class and need to downsize. Like both new A-Class and Citroen DS3. M/B dealer says no deals on A-Class as new model. Also trying to sell tyre insurance as well as gap etc. Is tyre insurance worth having or is this another commission deal for the salesman?
