7hm Turbocharged December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 The A3 is the best car in overall competence out of these three hatchbacks (assuming you're talking about V40), in my opinion. The A-class is more stylish but less practical and spacious. The V40 is kind of good value due to price and safety equipment compared to those two though.

Fuelsaver Supercharged December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 all r safety feature packed cars if u referring to A200, A3, V40. but i think lighting package / feature quite bare like halogen, no LED type DRL, maybe audi lighting package better. used to wanna get either of those, but didn't cos of drivertrain combo n diesel-related con. n there's also heftier price tag of maintaining warranty. n not exactly roomy as well.

A3 only come with "xenon plus" auto-levelling bi-xenon projectors. The DRL is the so-called "Optitron" fibreoptic pipe. A180 come with halogen lights that make the car look worse than its high price. V40 also only come with halogen lights unless it's the premium model that has corner-swivelling bi-xenons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor68 Turbocharged December 23, 2015 Author Share December 23, 2015 Sorry about the correct model name but quite clearly you guys the experts already know them well. Yes, maybe should have added the BMW series 1 but cost wise maybe higher? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A180 is by far the most expensive and poorly equipped out of the options you are suggesting. But it has the undeniable Benz aesthetics of course.

Got their funny "integrated head restraints" bucket-like seats as well... think also the A200 got ambient lighting, including on the seat headrests, makes for a nice feel. But the ride quality (though not as bad as CLA), the materials, the uncomfortable cluster of buttons, lack of Intelligent Light System (without indent) the lack of space and carrying capacity, etc., make the A-class a poor proposition objectively speaking imho. Equipment is also sparse... don't even have reverse camera, the last time I checked, but that was months ago. Maybe spec got improved again. But I'm with those people who say it's a great runabout for a lady or a single guy who doesn't have trouble with the small space and doesn't carry a lot of barang often.

How about u TD all 4, and read through all these comments in the respective threads? There should be a thread for each model, except Volvo I think. Merry Christmas and happy choosing!
