A220 not a bad car :)

More people should be like you. Post their deal and not ask for opinions AFTER leasing the car. I am glad you’re enjoying the car and happy with the ‘deal’ you got.

I would take a C class or a lower spec E class over an A class for the same payment, but it’s just me. YMMV

I’d sooner take an i3.

OP, enjoy your car.

People who bash these type of deals without seeing and experiencing the car are not considering the fact that every new generation improves quiet a bit… Every full redesign comes closer to one segment above in terms of quality and the ride. I would not be surprised if many people like the new A220 over the current C300. While I probably would not lease it at this price, I understand how people can be drawn to it.

But but the badge!

I just still don’t understand how people can be drawn to this car, given that it has absolutely no trunk space, and it’s a measly 188 HP. But whatever floats OP’s boat…

Honestly have you driven the car? I got to test drive one and it doesn’t feel like 188 HP. The car actually feels pretty quick with tons of torque. Having the updated tech inside makes it feel cooler than the c300 for sure. I can see why people are drawn too it. Is it worth $500/month? Probably not but its a great little car for a $350-400 cost.

I could see paying the model’s number for it. :upside_down_face:

Congrats! Pretty good deal for the A220. My wife just got one, and I must say I’m impressed with the tech and interior. It’s an awesome car if you are not all about performance figures. It definitely does feel faster than 188hp.

I’ll also chime on on some of the comments. I’m a former C300 owner and liked the car a lot. I’ve driven the A220 twice and would take it in a heartbeat for the same price as a discounted C300. The car has a ton of new tech and the interior looks incredible. The C300 looks like a 15 year old car to me when I step inside the same year A220 afterwards. I can see why people are wanting this car right now.

Once that same interior and tech is found on lots in the CLA, C300, etc you’ll see less interest in the A220 but I get it and don’t fault anyone for choosing this car over anything bigger and nicer from MB.

See, all you had to do was wait a week or two and have trust in the LH ‘force’:

SoCal A220 lease

I’d be wary. OP is a fully loaded A220 and 36/10. That broker’s A220 is 36/7.5 and I’d bet it’s probably a base car with some options.

I have seen a few A classes on the road. Too bland and way too much money for entry luxury.

You probably saw base models lol

Looks like a Volkswagen on the outside TBH

Here is some vhooloo wisdom:

You will always get a smoking deal on a car which is meh and always get a smoking car on a price which is meh. It is up to you what you need.

I got an BMW X6 for a price which many people here have beaten by 50 a month. But I like the car/color combo and feel happy with it.
I got a BOLT for a price which not many people have beaten. But I am dreading driving and being seen in it.

So I am ok with both parameters. I don’t understand why people have to post their A220 deal and when we tell them the deal sucks, they get defensive. Go enjoy it. Just don’t expect to be unscathed on LH!!

And if you leased something, it doesn’t mean it is the best thing since sliced bread. I have leased lots of POS willingly (like BMW i3, RAM 1500, Volvo S60)…
