Just wanted to post about how great a car the B250 is. I’ve owned two, a 2014 B250 (drove for 4 years and ~80,000 km) and a 2018 B250 (drove for 2 years and ~20,000 km). They are fantastic cars.

I wouldn’t trade it for a GLA250, which I rented and found nowhere near as nice to drive. B250 has better brakes and a stiffer chassis, and overall feels better engineered than the GLA250. Not to mention interior passenger and luggage space is way way better in the B250. Actually, the B has more luggage room, in some ways, than my G550.

I’ve had 0 issues with mine, and not a squeak or rattle.

So for anyone who is contemplating a new or used B and also a GLA, buy the B. They are awesome.

 

Hey mate

B-class is a mum's car for the school run. And it is BIG.
The GLA is for the younger ones, I think.
The GLA is just a sporty version of the A-Class.

The missus had her B180 (W245) since 2010 and clocking 205,000kms. She bought a new A180 (W176) back then, but still could not let go the B180.

 

I added a B250 to my driveway in 2014 as a daily ‘shuttle’ to and from work. Great car on day one and still a reliable, comfortable and enjoyable car to drive 10+ years later as she rolls past 97,000kms.
