Hi Guys,

Booked my B180 2 weeks ago during the promo where the unit is a Show car for road show.

Got my COE at 42K in yesterday's bidding.

Any issues that i should take note of?

Thanks Guys,

will probably join in the next meeting.

Looking forward to the new car next week.

How's the fuel consumption for this car?

Was actually choosing between the Tiguan and the CRV. Just happened to pass by the showroom that day and saw that the space is actually comparable to the above mentioned and the fuel consumption was much better. The price was almost equivalent to the 2, lower road tax and it's a Mercedes.

Have test driven the CRV some time back. Ride is ok but heard that it is a drinker - my friend getting 7-8 km/ litre.

Actually Tiguan is much better in terms of drive.

Well anyway hope to meet up with you on the next meetup with your new ride.

Hi Mike,

Thanks! Good to hear that you are enjoying your ride. How's the consumption? Getting good mileage for this car?

I like the space and after reading the forum, might be poisoned to mod the audio to include the GPS, reverse camera, TV etc.

Not sure if anyone has MOD their audio for the B class though.

Hi I am newly joined and will get my B180 tomorrow. This is a 2010 year of manufacture which I got also under the demo car scheme. It says that mileage will not be more than 250 km. I will see when collect car tomorrow. BTW I have also included a under hood insulation mat which was not in the original equipment. I read that it will not buffer sound to the car interior but probably will reduce noise to the outside of the car especially when standing in front of the bonnet.

got my car yesterday. quite happy with it and noise level not as bad as the test drive car.

Need some adjustments to the height as i was driving the 320 before.

Was reading the forum and there is a "mass order" for command installation. Have anyone of you done that and is it good?

hi, got my ride yesterday. although it was brought as a demo/trade car, the mileage was only 11 km. I am happy with it and was concern how CVT would perform after hearing all the adverse comments. In fact, it was smooth, relatively quiet and the ride was tight and bumps are well absorbed.

I noticed that there was no centre car mat at the rear seat i.e. hump between the two rear seats. What about you out there? Was your B class provided with any rear centre car mat?

i dump the BMW cos it's starting to give me some problems like the air-con and gear box and the car is coming to the 3 yr mark. sold off at quite a high price due to the COE and bought this for the family.

Eric, welcome to the club. my thoughts exactly. the ride is smooth and pleasant and not as noisy when i first test drove it.

Nope, no centre mat as well. i am looking to buy the 3M type of mat as the orginal mat seems to get dirty rather easily.

Family very happy with the car cos of the bigger leg room and height compared to the 3 series.

Got my car last thurs and still only 1/4 mark after almost 250km.

All the new B-bros...congrats and enjoy the ride!

Mine is coming to the 3yrs mark and am still having fun.

In fact, the B meet my requirement so well that I'll probably upgrade to the new gen B (B/BLK/BLC) when it's out in 2012/2013 ;)

Hi all B bros here..

Drove a B170 before. Not a bad ride. High sits as well.

Only con side is the limited boot space and the smell from Air-Con when you ram to overtake. Not sure if it happens to the new B180 :)

Hope to see you bros in the coming GTG.. Cheers!
