Just ordered mine yesterday 2020 B180 with all the bells and whistles, mine has charging pad, ambient lightening, completely voice activated, AMG styling,heated seats, night pack...everything, can’t wait.
The B-Class is actually selling very well here in Germany... I've got one. It's not beautiful but practical and it drives well. That's really all anyone would need.
3:40 *Phone Audio Bluetooth Mode, actually displays Album Art of track playing, and can scroll to next track very easy. If you have Apple/Google built in then you obviously you have Sat-Nav (**2:25**) By the way at **6:34** They do not kill Cows for their Leather, but to EAT. At **6:59** you can open boot by 'swiping' foot underneath, very handy if you have 2 shopping bags and close it the same way. There is also a button to 'close' boot and lock car. ECO Mode (**10:00**) puts the car into Neutral and sets engine to tick over 'freewheels' - it's amazing how far you can go with kinetic energy, and a meter shows you how much 'bonus' you have achieved. On a recent 19 mile run I managed 3½ Miles of 'FreeWheeling' Sorry BOB FLAVIN YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT THIS CAR IS CAPABLE OF AND ALTHOUGH WATCHED MANY OF YOU OTHER REVIEWS THIS ONE IS "A BRIDGE TOO FAR"*
9:15 *I have a 2019 Mercedes B200CDi AMG [Blue Diesel 8 Speed Auto with **_Freewheel_** in ECO Mode] that can manage up to have seen 85.6 MPG recorded and over 700 miles **_Range_** which blows Electric Cars totally away. - I did consider waiting for the to be launched shortly A& B Series Hybrid Models to be announced- however did find out that these were going to cost around £5k more, so work it out - simples - overall 1731 Mile Journey at realistic 70 mpg would have used 24.72 Gallons @ £1.69 per Liter [£7.67 a UK Gallon] would have cost £189.66 = 0.1095p Per Mile !*
Bob, please be the first car reviewer who actually adjusts the headrest in the backseat. It´s unbelievable how little adjustment there is sometimes. Other than that, great review as always.
Hello Bob, I intend to buy a vw touran sh 2.0 tdi dsg and being very expensive(all the cars are expensive now), I also thought about a B klasse, which is close in terms of price, what do you think between the two?
Another great review, I guess USB-C is the future, just need a cheap cable to make your phone or tablet work. What is the watch you are wearing? Looks nice and clear for my old eyes!
*YES INDEED and you do not have to say He Mercedes - button on Steering Wheel and if Smartphone connected can ask Google - PS USB c is the future and gives many benefits - easy connection - High Charging Rate etc !*
@@Cathandroo I bought one for $1 on ebay. Lasted 2 months. Waste of time esp if for important usage like business. I prefer to pay a bit more for a cable and it last years ;-)
Looks like a fish, has the engine of a Dacia, the ground clearance of a sports car, the interior full of cheap tablet screens and is priced like a luxury car. What's not to love?
@@BobFlavinVideo Haha! Thanks Bob! I used to write about cars, once upon a time. I was being a bit mean, but on a more serious level, I do like it. It's a great family hatchback, particularly for those looking to find something a bit more refined than the Golf MPV version. At least I can appreciate that Mercedes still makes it, in this SUV obsessed world. The only thing that's a deal breaker for me is the ground clearance is is just too small, especially if you live in a place with strong winter and deep potholes.
Electronic dashboard is a big no I'm afraid, the tablet screens just stick out like a sore thumb. Give me a traditional dashboard with physical working needles. Yes perhaps the center of the dash can stay electronic but all the other information, just no...
