Mercedes A180 auto w176 1st service A

First service for the car.
Booked online, turned up late ! But Mercedes Warrington couldn't have been nicer.
Waited 1.5 hrs and drive away.
Cost was £244 ( the amount quoted online)

Car has done 9500 miles in the first year

In terms of brakes
7mm front
9mm rear

Tyres ok too
4.5mm front
6mm rear
Although they have really worn outer edges

Asked them about the noisy engine but they said it was ok.  No worse than from new.

All in all a good experience despite the usual grievance at paying £244 for an oil change

Golf gti edition 35mpg update: 30.5 mpg 385 miles

Golf gti edition 35 hits 27000 miles

Bought the car on 20300 now 27000 in just 6 months.  It's certainly getting some use.
Cars are meant to be driven. Even though I think edition 35s are going to be future classics
