Mercedes-Benz: a perfect balance of automotive intelligence and an enthusiast's passion. Every model is evocative. Provocative. Emotional. And yet, we've given nothing away in terms of security, innovation and value. The only place to revel in the best in driving excitement is behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes Benz A Class A140 is a very nice small car. Acceleration is very good and handling is excellent. My car has developed a knocking noise somewhere on the near side. It only sounds when on rough roads not on smooth ones. I recently had it serviced and they found nothing wrong with the car. It is annoying and I would like some one to advice me what could be wrong.I have tried every thing I can think of, even the spare wheel and the jack!!! As far as I am concerned the car is very good for our use now that we are retired. I would recommend one to anybody.
