The A/B-Class are good cars.
Excellent finition, good-looking, spacious, so not a basd car.

But too noisy, not comfortable enough.
And they have a big big problem for me, it is the driving position. The sandwich structure, so motors partly in front and partly under the car, with a double-floor, means that you sit very high. But the roof is not very high, so the driving position is strange: the seat is low, the floor is high. the roof is too low...
It means that the driving position is awful for me. you just aren't good. your legs are too high. not comfortable. so you try to high the seat, and you almost touch the roof...so you don't see anything because the windscreen is not high enough, you have the eye on the sunscreens... you low it, your legs are too high, you don't feel comfortable...

The passengers have the same problem...

This is the only car where I always am trying to find a driving position.

Too bad.
