are you in Canada? i got mine in Aug and i had brake master cyc ( beake sinking issue) replaced and turbo replaced (leaking oil inside ) just be careful. how many km you have on the car?
Yes, in Canada. My '14 C350 was in for service - rear main seal leak, 2000km before the end of my extended warranty. 12 hours of labour. I had the A250 loaner for 3 days and I decided to buy that very one - no others optioned like it that I could find. Car has 2500 km's on it. Thanks for the heads up, but it's unlikely that I will ever own another modern vehicle without warranty coverage.

yes, the A250 is 1000% lovely, i like it. i got my oil changed at 2000km when dealer replaced my turbo, for a better engine oil,
My car was a demo model.
- They delivered it with a cracked windshield. They replaced it, of course - but did so with one made from a Coke bottle. I was actually getting motion sickness from driving it. They replaced it again - all good now.
- Fuel door mechanism fussy about opening. Replaced.
- Cabin temperature "hysteresis" - i.e. set temperature to 21C, car heats cabin to 27C then switches to AC and blows cold air bringing temperature down to 16C, and so on. New thermostat/sensor on order.
- Right rear exterior passenger door handle not functioning. Pull - nothing. Door opens fine using the interior handle. Will be replaced when thermostat arrives.
- Mercedes.me is a bad joke. Remote start works 1 out of 3 times. Phone does not sync. 2nd driver profile had to be created in-car.
I still like the way it drives and handles in these winter conditions we are having, but these issues are making it hard for me to love it - especially the 70km round-trips to the dealer.

sorry to hear that, you have A250 or A220? in Canada or US?
HI, i got A250 4M AMG Line, EU Spec ( Poland Specification )
Added from Aliexpress:
1. Black Glossy Mirror Covers,
2. Black Glossy Front Side Horizontal Covers
3. Silver Matt Plastic Cover on side console in front tunnel
If got any questions, feel free to ask me
Drove earlier Seat Leon 5F 13MY 1.4 TSI 122HP, FR Line.
What can I say now, this AMG Line suspension is pretty joke for badging it like AMG, its so soft that should be badged on French cars not German, yes its comfortable, but too soft for sporty drive. Sport mode ( DCC ) should be called Comfort, big dissapointment about this issue. I regret didnt took A35 which I thought before buying would be too agressive for daily drive

Hello, only had with Side Assist, two times went into ASO ( in english we would call it Authorised Service Support for Cars ) and on second time they repaired it - told me that side radar demounted from mounting points. Beside this is ok, mechanically and electronically. My car was fresh new and produced in Germany.

oh, nice to hear that, i got mine replaced the brake master and turbo, it was made in Germany, but some parts do have problem. other than that, for now, car is running fine
Brake master? You mean ABS or Brake Assist?
What was with turbo?
at about 500km, i have noticed i got sinking brake, dealer replaced the master brake cylinder for leaking inside. and at 1800km, i have noticed i got blue smoke coming out from pipe, that's clear sign of engine burning engine oil, because the turbo was leaking oil inside, lucky i had found earlier, and dealer was replaced the turbo.. so new car, i have already got two major elements replaced, not so happy...but so far, the car is fine, no more problem. i hope not
i also asked dealer to replace the engine oil from 0W-20 to 5W-30, and replaced the coolant as well.
and to be honest with you, when in summer, if the ambient temperature over 21-22 C degree, i will not drive this car, the engine compartment can reach very hot, and those plastic parts might gets damaged, we have another car in the family

Oh i see, I think that with this Brake Master and Turbo was 1time issue and those new parts will be ok. Generally MB is maybe not know for no-issue car like Jap cars but its not so bad.
Dealer didnt replaced module of AC? I think You should keep pushing and demand repair/fix/change all parts connected with AC or go to another dealer to fix this because this car cannot be used on more of time in year and You got guarantee.

so far, my AC is fine, no problem, but under the hood, when i use AC in summer, i do find some/larger water condensation along the aluminum pipe, which is normal, but i have found more piping/wiring under it. worry about if those condensation drops on it.
I recommend to push on dealer with this when warmer days will come and dont be fooled that it could be normal if wiring is not isolated good and caus damage

i know how well local dealer can do, haha,i will mention it next time, but i don't think they can do anything, because every A250 has it, when use AC. they will tell me it's normal. but even my another VW has designed that AC pipe just behind the air cooler, so that the flowing air will dry that pipe quicker. but in A250, that section of AC pipe is outside the reach of air flow, if you have A250, open the hood, look to your down left, you will find that aluminum pipe. i think just a bad design.
And we're done. In addition to the problems mentioned above, the car wreaks of exhaust if stopped for more than a minute and the need to turn off lane keep assist and auto stop/start
every
single
time
I get in the car has pushed me over the edge. The random "dirty sensor" warnings were getting pretty old, too.
I'm picking up a BMW M240i Xdrive next week and will be taking such an insane hit that even the BMW salesman tried to talk me out of it. Alas, life's too short - see ya MB!
I wish everyone else nothing but the best of luck with your vehicles and I hope you are able to derive the joy from them that you are owed.

Both vehicles were purchased (my mileage is too high for a lease to make sense).
sorry to hear that, so my A250 4M ( made in Germany) after change the brake master and turbo, it's normal again, hope you enjoy your BMW M240i Xdrive, just be careful those plastic parts under the engine hood, how long it will work under that extreme heat.

Look of car can be changed to look more agressive but yeap R4, FWD+RWD ( XDrive still better than Quattro and 4Matic ). But in my opinion and thought will never go for car from dealer when it on start is from ancient times, better take used car not new if I would be on pressure for this model
