Intelligent interior, but the A45 driving is stiff

much place in the A-class, but the beauty of the boat A45 is smaller than rivals
, that despite its power, it's practical hatchback body with the shares, regular A- Class. Space in the front seats is very good and to be comfortable, is simple. Access to the rear seat is not as good as it could be, because of the rear wheel arches intruding on the doorway.
