Thank you erveryone! Sorry for the late reply. I was spending time with the car and the instruction manual! It's over an inch thick! 
You bet! Will do, stay tuned!
That was my biggest worry; the switch from RWD to FWD. However, I am quite surprised how well the A250 handles. You don't notice that the front wheels are pulling you. And there's also no torque steer when you hammer it (I couldn't resist and had to do one kickdown - still in the break-in period).
I'll provide more details in a quick review after I reply to everyone.

Yep, the blind-spot monitoring is practical. Originally I didn't order it, but the salesman convinced me to get the mirror package, and this was part of it.
The big screen is off because I know my way around the city.
Also, the salesman advised me not to play with the new system while driving. Get comfortable with the car and the system first, then drive and operate the system. I am proud to report that after driving the car almost all day tomorrow and half a day today, I've completely adjusted to it already. Stay tuned for a quick review.

QUICK DETAILED REVIEW with PLENTY OF PICS!
Alright guys, I shall provide you with some details and insight. But first, some pictures describing the two days!
On Wednesday I had those gorgeous 19" AMG Multispoke LMR wheels taken and off and replaced with my Rial M10 winter wheels and Continental WinterSport TS860S winter tires. Here my new baby is getting its winter shoes mounted.
The wonderful thing about the Rial M10 wheels is that the hubs containing the Mercedes star perfectly fit. From a distance, some folks might be fooled to think that these are genuine AMG wheels.
After the non-Mercedes-Benz winter wheels were mounted, I was by law obliged to have them examined by the TÜV, DEKRA or GTÜ. The wheel and tire shop recommended the GTÜ next door (about 3 km away). The inspection and testing took about 20 minutes and then my wheels were certified for legal road use on the W177 A-Class.
Below my baby is being inspected by a GTÜ employee. The last photo shows the document (one page of it) which permits me to drive with these wheels - just in case I am stopped by the police. Germany, guys, they have laws here. Too many!
And here are some snapshots out in the wild of the A250 AMG Line with its new winter shoes! I gotta say these are some nice winter wheels. My favorites are still the summer AMG wheels, but these are a great substitute for winter use and the important thing is they look great and make the car look great!
Light-Painted photo. This is all I could manage before my light stick ran out of juice (had not charged it since the late summer), so the exterior shot is not properly light on the hood and roof and side mirror area. I shall attempt to take better photos tomorrow - if it's not too cold. I can't really work with gloves!
Some random sightings! Hey there, old Mercedes A-Class AMG Line (thought it was neat to have the old A-Class across from mine...), Lamborghini Urus and the upcoming FWD BMW 1-Series!
Here's a quick interior/exterior walk-around of the car.
REVIEW TIME!
================================================
I absolutely love this car.
Let's get right into it: the engine. It's refined and smooth, torquey and feels so eager at all times. It wants to be driven fast, and I really have to control myself sticking to city speed limits! You know how people claimed that "4-cylinders will never be as smooth as an inline-6"? Not true anymore. This engine (and the 1.33-l 4-cylinder in the A200) are so smooth. You have to try it if you don't believe me. There are no vibrations or raspy sounds when the motor is idling in traffic.
Which brings me to my next point. Start/Stop. I deactivate it upon start-up because I am not a fan of these systems in general. I feel that this feature will do more damage long-term because it's unnecessary wear and tear. I plan on driving this car for ten years minimum. Supposedly the Start/Stop components are good for about 500,000 cycles - which to me seems very short if I plan on keeping the car long-term. It's also not the most refined system in terms of restarting because this is the only time the engine will make itself known with a hefty vibration. I don't care since I will not use this feature.
Back to the engine. It's definitely a powerful motor; you will feel its eagerness in all situations. Acceleration in town and on the highway is effortless I am still taking it easy slowly breaking it in but I can't wait until the first 1000 km are behind me. Even leisurely acceleration is pretty quick, as you can see from the video below. This wasn't an all-out acceleration video, but just a leisurely sprint to 196 km/h (and later 200 km/).
On the Autobahn the car feels solid, well-planted and stable at all speeds. Wind noises are low and the engine isn't particularly intrusive at higher speeds either. The steering feedback in town is light, but when you drive faster you can feel it tightening and become more direct. Awesome feature.
7-DCT transmission is good. Smooth - you don't feel the shifts unless you're driving it somewhat sporty/aggressively. My only real complaint is that the transmission is a bit slow to downshift in certain driving situations in the city, such as when you're driving at 50 km/h and the transmission is in 6th gear but should be in 5th gear. It will eventually downshift, however. That being said, the engine makes enough power and torque to cope with higher gears at low speed. On rural roads and on the Autobahn the 7-DCT works even better and I have zero complaints here.
The suspension - in COMFORT MODE - is, well, comfortable. It might be a compact car, but it's also capable of long-distance cruising with the highest comfort qualities. This is also courtesy of the wonderful AMG seats, especially the side and lumbar support, and also lower thigh support. The only small complaint I have about the seats is that there could be a little more cushion for my butt - but that can be solved with pillows.
The interior is practically impossible to photograph properly during the day because of the reflective screens and reflective black trim elements. But at night (see the light-painted image)...
Light-Painted interior shot. Light source used was the flashlight in my Samsung Galaxy S8.
I have decided against using SPORT MODE until the first 1000 km are behind me. Sport Mode is incredibly aggressive. The engine note takes on a more sporty sound, but the transmission will only upshift at redline forcing you to drive with a very loud engine and high RPMs in town. This might be great on rural roads and on the Autobahn, but not in the city. And before I try this outside of urban areas, I want to wait until the car is properly broken in.
FWD? You know, it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I mean I did expect Mercedes to make the A250 more engaging because it's the top-of-the-line non-AMG model, and they did make it great to drive. The A250 has an LSD. I've driven RWD cars pretty much my entire life, though my first car was FWD (1992 Mitsubishi Galant GTI 2.0 DOHC 16V). After the Mitsubishi I exclusively drove RWD cars, but only really learned to appreciate this layout it in the 2007 BMW 118i.
Does the A250 pull you? Technically yes, but from a feel point of view no. It launches so smoothly and civilized, you just don't feel the front wheels doing all the work. And even with some aggressive but controlled driving the car handles so well. No torque steer under hard (but not too aggressive!) acceleration from a standstill and no noticeable understeer in hard corners. Granted, I've not been pushing the car to its limits because 1) it's not broken-in yet, and 2) that's now how I drive. I never push my cars to their limits, so essentially how they handle at their limit is irrelevant to me. I can have fun in my cars without going to the limit.
At this point I will say the A250 is just as fun to drive (at least for me) as the BMW. Part of it is also my current bias and excitement for my new car. There is no denying, however, that the BMW 118i was such a well-balanced driving machine that has more purist driving potential than a FWD A-Class thanks to its weight balance and RWD layout. And what I will miss is flicking the steering wheel in the opposite direction to the corner I am traveling in and giving it some gas - instant drift in the BMW, especially on rainy days. That was fun (when the roads were empty)!
Fuel economy is pretty good so far. Yesterday I drove to Weilheim which is an hour away (that's where my winter wheels and tires were located) and my drive there involved city (Munich traffic), Autobahn, country roads and city (destination). The computer gave me a readout of 7.7 L / 100 km (30.5 mpg), not bad since most of my drive was spent in traffic. On the Autobahn the fastest I drove was 180 km/h, and that was maybe for only three or four minutes.
The salesman advised me to always use the same quality gasoline in the vehicle. It runs on and was apparently designed to function with 95 octane gasoline. If I dump different fuel into the tank, the system will adjust, but it will have a higher gasoline consumption. It's happened to me before in the BMW that some gas stations were out of 95 and 98 octane fuel and had only E10 available (10% ethanol content). In such a situation, I must only put a minimal of E10 into the tank, just enough to get me to another gas station where I can refuel with 95 octane.
I have to say, I love the feel of this AMG steering wheel. It just feels so good in your hands. It's also easier to master than it looks. Really! The steering wheel is actually quite simple. It looks difficult, but it's not. Most of the controls are self explanatory. The left side BACK-BLACK BOX-HOME buttons control the tachometer in front of you. On the right side, the BACK-BLACK BOX-HOME control the functions on the main screen. Alternatively you can use the screen via touch or some features via voice control (MBUX) or use the mouse pad in the center console.
The new cruise control system takes some getting use to. You have to set the speed you want to cruise at (SET + / SET -) and then push up the tachometer button to its right. On the left side you can reset or cancel cruise (or simply hit the brake pedal). Takes awhile to get used to but I honestly quickly got the hang of it. The two sides of the steering wheel are also subtly light at night (but my snapshot is way overexposed).
Sticking with the interior, the layout and ergonomics are actually quite good. The materials are also quite good; definitely class appropriate. I feel right at home inside the cabin. The inner door design is perfect for placing your elbows, and the top portion of the door design is also a great place to place your left elbow. You feel comfortable in this cabin.
MBUX is really cool. I won't go into much detail here since I am still learning it and I have to create an account at Mercedes Me to receive full access to the system's capabilities. Let me just say the voice control is really awesome, especially when you don't know yet how to operate the A/C system!
Me: "Hey Mercedes, I am cold!"
MBUX: "Turning up the heat."
Operating the navigation system via voice control is also sweet. No more stopping at the side of the road to type in a destination. Just tell MBUX where you want to go and the system delivers. For example, today I went to a Hornbach store. I asked MBUX to bring me to Hornbach in Munich. The system immediately showed me all Hornbach's in my vicinity. However, I wanted to go to one a little further away, located in a particular street. With MBUX that's no problem, simply say "Hornbach bla bla street" - and bam, the system instantly programs the route to that specific Hornbach store! And it's all so fast! Truly amazing technology.
Here's a feature that I didn't order, but I am glad it's part of the extended MBUX system. This is the new AUGMENTED REALITY feature which activates when you use the navigation system. You see a live view of the road ahead with blue arrow insets which show you where exactly to turn or which road you need to take. It's quite handy, and a neat feature.
If I had not experienced it I would have brushed it off as a gimmick - but no, it's really useful. And you won't make navigational errors because this feature puts you on the right path at all times. Brilliant.
What I don't like? I can't really fault the car yet. But there are some issues that bug me.
Start-Stop. I am not a fan of these systems in general and will shut them off at all times unless I am truly in a situation where I am low on fuel and every drop counts.
The aforementioned slow downshifts of the 7-DCT in some city driving situations.
The mouse touch pad in the center console is so sensitive it even reacts to my phone charging cable brushing across it! This is just an observation, other than that I like using the mouse touch pad and I don't hate it.
The fuel filler cap is on the left-hand side... I am so used to it being on the right-hand side.
I'd say my current biggest gripe is that the park assistance cameras have a nasty habit of randomly turning on when they detect what I guess are protruding obtrusions on the road. It happened to me yesterday on a rural road when the system seemed to detect black ice in the middle of the road. The system went on full alert and on the display my entire left side was highlighted in red as if I had just smashed the car into a wall on its left side. Also, when cyclists pass the rear of my car the system warns me and the rear camera automatically drops down to show me what's behind me. I have yet to read the instruction manual part about this feature, but if I can turn it off during regular driving that would be cool.
That's about it.
Hope you guys enjoyed this quick review. Feel free to ask me any questions. I plan on getting a GoPro and taking some cool driving videos etc. of the car as soon as possible.
And if you are thinking of getting the new W177 A-Class, I can only recommend them.
I'll end this post with this...

UPDATE!
Just finished setting up my profile on the Mercedes Me website, which will further enhance the car and MBUX experience. This will all take effect later today when I drive the car out of the garage, the update should take effect after 20-30 minutes.
Yay! I can finally use the online Internet browser and listen to German politics on Youtube while driving!
I also just downloaded the Mercedes Me app for my Android phone. Features such as locking/unlocking my car via my phone will be available. There is currently no information on my profile because I need to drive the car out of the garage, but it's midnight here and I am tired. Will do it later today.

Unfortunately no.
I did inquire about the possibility of having it removed. My salesman at Mercedes said he knew of a customer who did just that and the German Financial Authorities promptly arrested him for "tax evasion" when they somehow discovered what happened. Start/Stop apparently puts your car into a lower CO2 emissions category...

I said the samething here a few months after after driving a 4 cylinder 1.5TSI Skoda Octavia. Around town and at low speed I was gobsmacked by how refined and quiet it was. 6 cylinders only have an advantage if you floor hard from 40mph, other than that 4 cylinder engines are plenty enough for anything smaller than an E-Class or GLC.
Awesome winter alloys BTW, they look OEM and as good as your summer ones.

Awesome review thank you Wimmer, great pics too, great that you got the Augmented Nav for free, I thought it was part of the advanced Nav pack which I was told will not available in Australia until the end of 19 at the earliest 
never know, maybe they’ve thrown it on mine too
Still waiting for mine to leave Europe so won’t be seeing it until the end of January which is driving me mad

Thank you all again!
I'm really enjoying the car and I will continue to post some updates, videos and photos of interesting discoveries, features etc.
Also, I can't wait until the summer when the lovely 19" AMG wheels come on.
Thank you!
Yes, I didn't order the Augmented Reality Navigation, but apparently it's part of the extended MBUX package. I am glad that I have it because it is incredibly useful and helpful.
I hope you get to meet your new baby soon, and please share some pictures and of course a review with all of us!
Some snapshots I took tonight of my car with my phone at the Max-Josef-Platz in downtown Munich.

I hope you get to meet your new baby soon, and please share some pictures and of course a review with all of us!
Some snapshots I took tonight of my car with my phone at the Max-Josef-Platz in downtown Munich.

Exactly.
I am blown away how refined this motor is (and the 1.33-l turbo engine in the A200 was). One really has to experience these new 4-cylinders to believe it.
