    A220d owner here…

    Car went in for a warranry repair and was given the A180d Premium Plus as a courtesy car for 2 weeks.

    At the beginning I started to wonder why I never went for the lower power A Class but with more spec.

    However, after you’ve pressed all the buttons and tried every setting and Ambient light colour etc, you soon realise that there’s no replacement for power.

    I could not wait to jump back to my A220d again, despite it being only a standard AMG Line spec without the fancy Multibeam LEDs and Sunroof.

    Like anything else, it’s all exciting to start with but you soon get bored with the toys…

    However, you will never get bored with the tarmac shredding torque of the A220d.

    Takes off like a rocket…

     

    PS….Previous car was a GTD…Felt so much faster overall even though they had similar bhp output.

    The A Class 8 Gear DCT gearbox is unreal.

    The change from 1st to 2nd gear is breath taking fast..Actually mentally fast.
