B class Mercedes

[grumpy52]

I have found myself in need of an easy access vehicle due to health issues and recent surgery.
I'm 6ft 1in and 160kg .anyone with experience of how roomy the B class is .
I have limited movement at the moment and no bending lifting or twisting. I'm facing more surgery very shortly.
Thanks in anticipation.

Honda jazz
Peugeot 1007
Citroen berlingo

Would be my recommendation

I had an A Class for 4 years and put 80000miles on it, probably one of the best cars ive ever owned, comfy, frugal and super roomy, the B Class is slightly bigger so will suit your requirements well.

Hi
6ft 3/4 on a good day and over 125kg.
B Class 2013 owned for 7 years. Top spec 200 Sport.
Lots of room (lots of head height).
Efficient, classy, quick enough.
Better in every way over all suggested so far.
Any other questions just let me know

Had one new in 2012 when they came out for three years. Brilliant useful car.

We recently bought a 3rd gen 2019 B200.

More headroom than other similar cars we tried (without going into cars like a Tiguan or CX-5.
Much roomy than a GLA or Q3 (Q3 felt claustrophobic).

Boot space ok. Probably on par with a GLA.

Engine was remarkably spritely for a 1.3... I was impressed.... though on reflection it is "more highly strung" than my Audi S4.. so we'll see how the longevity fares.

V. Easy to drive My only pet hate with it is the shiny black plastic on the dash.. feels bit to "blingy" to me... though overall the interior was better than all the other cars we tried in the size/class, save maybe the Mazda cx-5, which i felt was far "elegant and refined" inside (and still used actual dials, plus ha HUD).

Overall, pleased with it so far

These are quite easy to get into and out of due to the raised seat and large doors. I've had a few as rentals (diesels however) and they are quite enjoyable to drive.

Thanks for the reply. I have bought a B 180 2ltr CDI SE .
Probably the most sensible vehicle I've bought in the last 30 years .
Having abdominal surgery and being a big lump trying to lever myself out of my A6 3.o tdi sline Le Mans was not advised. I have a bowel cancer surgery to face soon so a sensible car was the only option. But something not too boring .
An updated sound system and maybe a TDI tuning box might help .

Good luck with all your ongoing health issues.
