Seems quiet in here and haven't heard of people talking bout their experience with GLA H247. Is it because of the air-con fiasco that happened on the A-class W177, or because mere entry-level Mercedes models should be avoided?
How are your experience with H247?
Many car sites are still wrong to mention GLA250 has no rear air vents, but they have now included that since moving to CKD. GLA200 still doesn't get it, but to be honest, even Corolla Altis doesn't have them. It is fine if the vents on the dashboard are strong enough.
Rear armrest and trunk convenience netting and power outlet are still missing, but these are also acceptable.
I also found out that MBM might not have spec-ed for bigger fuel tank. We might be getting only 43 litres. It may not be a concern with GLA200's small engine but for GLA250's big engine, how is the range before you have to fill up again?
Do we get the augmented reality navigation? W177 owners can answer this too.
I know GLA250 gets the 64-color ambient lights, but does GLA200 get it too?

Currently contemplating over the W212 E300 Bluetec and the E400
On average RM40k - 50k difference in price. One with good low end torque, one has 333hp. One can easily do more than 1k km per tank, one can comfortably cruise at 250km/h all day. One is a crude sounding diesel, one is a sweet sounding V6

Hi there, I own a Mercedes C Class 2017 W205 9GTronic. 4 years warranty expired . So planning to service outside. Would like to ask, where do I get a proper service schedule for my car. I mean the normal service is every 1 year and 12000km , to change engine oil. However, for other things like brake fluid, transmission fluid, intake air filter, air cond filter I do not have the recommended schedule. Asking service center is not really helpful if you are servicing outside. Anywhere to find a complete schedule , the best is exact model and maybe for malaysian car?
Also will appreciate if can guide me on where to buy mercedes parts outside, basically mercedes stockist at reasonable price and trustable. and outisde workshops which can change for you.
Not sure if this is the right place to post, do guide me if its not the right place

But you must go to those workshops that are equipped with software to diagnose Mercedes Benz vehicles.

For basic item like atf, engine oil, spark plug, brake fluid, obviously there are there in the manual.

By the way was looking for Mercedes’ stockist. Suan huat seems to be one of the largest one. But I wonder why there are 2 Suan huat. One is called Suan huat auto supply another is Suan huat auto corporation. Both having multiple branches. Example in PJ they are near each other

I have a noob question. Never bought a merc b4, planning to get the facelift E 300 so have a few questions for the sifus:
1. Hap Seng vs NZ vs CC, any one of them better or are they almost the same?
2. Do they usually offer nice discounts like other brands or are they usually kinda tough with prices? Any idea on what kind of discount can I try to negotiate for?
p.s. I'm not a professional (lawyer, accountant, engineer etc.), just a normal business owner. So I probably can't qualify for the "professional's discount" right?
Thanks everyone for your input, greatly appreciated!

After sales service see and see is always the best! See and see ‘s sales staff a bit dog eyes look ppl down one! Can negotiate for additional free service voucher. Don’t think they are willing to negotiate for cash discount nowadays. Just press…FL model is kind of good to press for better deals. Good luck on your purchase.

QUOTE(Boneny @ Feb 26 2022, 05:13 PM) Anyone went for the W206 launch? Not sure if it's the cockpit design or I am just too fat, it felt cramped inside, but gorgeous. Maybe me poorfag, not entertained by any sales person  Yes. Just got back from new C300 test drive at Desa Parkcity. Personally, I find the ride a little harsh. Could be the tires are over inflated. Power delivery is very punchy. In terms of ride comfort, somehow it reminded me of my last GLA250 despite those rubbers on C300 are non-RFT. Also noted the windscreen and window panels are not using acoustic glass (CBU unit). Exterior aesthetic is definitely very pleasing. Interior also nicely done up. This car is slightly lower thus giving u the sporty look. Heard from the SA, one family sat in the car for test drive and the underside got slightly hit when going over road bumps. Augmented navigation would be better if can display on digital cluster instead of center console LCD. This way you don't have to take ur eyes off the road which is risky. Attached thumbnail(s)

Good luck on your purchase. Thank you!! Appreciate your advice and heads up  Really good info and it's very helpful for me to know where to start. Looking forward to the new ride Just hope the FL version last a bit longer before the new model comes out
