Are you aware that the seemingly long-forgotten Oddball Fast Cars are now in high demand with the latest version? Mercedez -Benz A210 Evolution is the answer.
Given how happy Mercedes is to put the AMG badge on its cars today, it seems strange the hottest of the original A-Class line-up was denied this. What we got, instead, is the subtly titled A210. In fairness, a 140bhp 2.1-litre engine that served up 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds didn’t really warrant an AMG badge and hot hatch fans didn’t think it deserved them spending money on it, so sales were as sluggish as the A210’s performance.
Even so, Mercedes went as far as developing a sports suspension set-up to give good grip in corners, though it did nothing for the ride quality or steering feel. However, you got 17-inch alloy wheels, two-tone Alcantara upholstery and plenty of kit for the £18,990 Mercedes asked, or £900 more for the extended wheelbase version.
Your choice is better with the Mercedez-Benz A210 Evolution classy car.
