Needs moe power
I had an A class (2nd gen, diesel), while I loved the car in most respects, it needed more power .... a lot more. It was so slow, it was almost scary entering any main road from a side street. And with four or five people, it was truly one of the most lazy cars I've ever seen or heard of. The gas mileage was around 38mpg ... much too little for such a tiny motor and small car. I was recently getting 62 mpg in my Prius and it's much peppier .... Diesels are supposed to be competitive with hybrids, ... well in real life, they aren't. Fuel is ninety cents a gallon more and that combined with the slowness of the diesel and poorer fuel economy would make me want the new A and B classes to have a hybrid option.
