I want to replace my Ford Fiesta with a classy, four-door hatch, what do you think of the A-Class?

I've got a very nice 2018 Fiesta ST Line X with a lot of spec on it. But, because my partner and friends have various back and mobility problems, and I need to transport grandchildren, I'm now looking for a (good looking) four-door car. Maybe a year old with a quiet cabin, similar spec to the Fiesta, isn't slow and is effortless on my fortnightly motorway runs. I'm tempted by the Mercedes A-Class, but I'd value your advice.

The latest Mercedes-Benz A-Class is an excellent car and would be a sound choice: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/a-clas...8

Also consider the B-Class - it's slightly higher than the A-Class which might help your partner's mobility problems. It'll be more practical for transporting your grandchildren, too.
