Mercedes A-Class A180

Hi.

Finally getting rid of my 2003 Yaris.
Thinking of the Mercedes A180 as I like the look of it, inside and out.
Something around 2015.

Has anyone here much experience with it? Does it cost much to run? Repair etc...?
Nice to drive?
Looks like it'll cost the guts of 20 grand.
A big chunk of cash for me!

I know one girl who has an A class. She bought it in November 2018 brand new from the dealer and is on her 9th or 10th courtesy car at the moment. Seems to have had a lot of issues with the electronics and also the engine coming ‘loose’ from its holder. I’m not a mechanic but that’s the terminology she used! I was tempted to get one myself but she put me right off. I’m wondering if anyone else has any experience though.

Is it a new style one with the digital dash?
