In this clip, Chris Goffey gives us a brief history lesson, by taking a look back at the iconic cars that changed the face of motoring history. Howard Stableford gives us an in-depth review of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, and finds out if it can go down in history books as an iconic car. He'll be looking at how it performs and handles, as well as how practical it is- the model tested is the 1.6 litre, which produces 102bhp. Plus, we'll be looking at the technology and design that has gone into the A-Class, to make it one of the safest cars you can buy.
