Went home read all kind of reviews, you tube, comments from people and in the end a decisive me had become indecisive. 3 days later I cancelled my booking.

I realised the main reason I cancelled is because B200 isn’t the SUV type of car I was looking for. It’s a MPV, a hatchback and mercedes even called it sport tourer?! Is mercedes also indecisive?

Dimension wise it’s just smaller than all SUVs. About the comment on soccer mom’s car, I heard few more such as “woman’s car” from my banker – no offence intended, “suitable for elder folks of 60s and above”, no offence intended also – as the design hieght the reviewer said makes it easier for people to enter the car easily.

Picturing myself with B200 just isn’t right. C-250 perhaps a much better deal but you’ve got to top up a bit. Well, for RM220k, I think it is a good budget to shop for proper SUV. I hope I didn’t spoil your appetite – it’s just my take on B200.

Please tell me that I am wrong and live to regret buying the other car #$%%

I found the old one got better interior space than the new one. There are couple of things I need to point the diff. First The rear seats of the new B sits lower than your B and because the two front seats are more bulky compare to yours it makes the rear passenger sitting in a small box which block the view. Second thing is the thigh support which is too narrow as compare to yours one adult won’t find it comfortable in it and also you sit more upright than the old B. Wheelbase the old B is longer then the new B. Third thing is the transmission tunnel which restrict the middle rear passenger leg room/foot room. Fourth is the new B has got smaller boot than your old B. Fifth can anyone point out if there is a spare tyre or repair kit?

Cheers

That aside, any mention about the Blind Spot Warning system in the car? MBM didn’t mention it on the website nor is it in their brochure.

The new generation NAVI might make it to our shores and it is retrofitable. Problem is, MBM cannot confirm when the unit is coming. I hesitate writing unconfirmed information like this into the main story.

Yes, there is a current GPS but MBM is not including that in the B-Class because it will add to the price. Trouble comes when early-adopters who buys the B-Class with the current GPS unit and then find their unit obsolete when the new ones arrive. Swapping will cost money. MBM said that they don’t want situation like that to happen. So, instead of adding cost to the buyers, they chose to make that GPS an option.

One last thing, the GPS unit is said to be part of the iPhone interface the practically turns the entire B-Class into an iPhone on wheels. This is also retrofitable with the audio unit.

Perfect for soccer mums to dash from school to tuition! A very nice vehicle for the wife, while the hubby drives a M class SUV and the mistress a CLS
