Carsguide Paul Gover had this to say at the time: The A250 is not as raunchy and rewarding as the A45 when you want to go quick but it's far more liveable and I can easily see why it's selling so well.

Good for you and thanks for the news. I agree updates should be free, even if car makers argue they have to pay for the data and uploading.
The Golf is great but questionable beyond the warranty, which rules it out for you. The A3 is a Golf under the skin, so that makes the Mazda3 the safe choice but you should also crunch the numbers on an A-Class and test drive to see if it makes you feel more special than the Mazda for your retirement.
Your choices both get The Tick, but the Benz A250 might be too sporty for a retirement car and the A3 is an upscale Volkswagen Golf. A good mate has just bought an Accord Euro and, even though it goes out of production soon, he loves it. You should test-drive all three.
