I'm in the same boat. Thinking about picking up the a 220 in Toronto when it's available but I have no idea how reliability is and whether the infotainment is a blessing or a curse.
Did you make any decisions on your purchase @vfxcxn0309

i still need 3-4 month time to get payment ready to pay, so during this time, i want to collect as much as info possible about how reliable this new engine, and the new i need to keep this car for 7-8 years.
i got some info about the engine, you need to translate into english.

i haven't made decision on A220 or A250, but very sure i will pick one of them, the A class is game changer. even better than A4 and bmw 3
do you have any info on your end?

2019 A250 4matic
I leased my A250 two months ago and the car was at the dealership for repairs many times since then
- The first day ,after taking delivery, the inside mirror felt off. 15 minutes repair
- Leaving the dealership after that repair, check engine light appears. I had to bring back the car - 2 hours
- Two weeks later, I got a 4matic not working error. Back to the dealer, they checked the codes and did not find the issue
- The day after, the Mercedes Me apps was not working properly. The dealer had to reset everything from his end.
- Leaving the dealership, the 4matic not working error pop-up again.
- The car was at the dealership for 2 weeks to resolve this issue.
- Then the SOS system stop working. Another half a day to reprogram.
- Now the car has develop a drivetrain vibration .....

My aventure continues....2 weeks ago I noticed a noise coming from the engine but not all the time. I was at the dealership the same week to install my summer tires and the mechanic heard the same sound. They did a little investigation but found nothing. Last Friday, the check engine lights up and the noise from the engine was quit loud at idle. I checked the code and found 3 :
- P0016 - Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A)
- P0014 - "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)
- P0011 - "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)

I am looking to replace a CLA250 and the A250 was at the top of my short list...but I'm concerned now. Test drove the car twice - definitely more go than the CLA and MBUX is awesome. It's a shame to hear about your issues with it...there are a lot of nice hatches in that price range and I thought this was the creme de la creme.

That sucks. No one should have to face this many challenges with a new car let alone one that's only a few months old. Good luck with the fixes.

when new car come out, the best thing to do is wait for 6-8 months time, wait for them to fix the problem, then go with it. MBUS is clearly ahead of it time.
