2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Convertible (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
I love this car. Candidates: M3, 911, S4. The highway is not a race track. No do I have to endure the harshness of my 996 to have neck breaking speed and a boat load of "cool factor". This thing is a serious wolf in sheeps clothing. The power, torque and hp, is amazing. The ride is plush, more body roll than my Porsche and BMW, even with the sport suspension, but I got over it quick enough. It is still well composed in the twisties. I am waiting for my H&R lowering springs to arrive and for $600 the body roll be gone. Cops don't even notice it. Great car! Of course it eats tires and gas, but a car with 386 ft #s of torque should!
Favorite Features
The engine. Also very quiet for a cabriolet. Top down it is quieter than a 350Z with the top up.
Suggested Improvements
The brakes are a little weak initially, but put your foot and it stops - about the same as my 5 series BMW but requires more pedal pressure. Needs more rubber, 18s with 265s would be a nice improvement.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Convertible (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
If you get a CLK550 Cabriolet, the sport suspension option is a must have. Had mine trucked down to N. Cal. from Wash. State, since it was only one in Western USA with sport suspension (for me), run flats (for wife), backseat side airbags (for son), and P3 option (best front seats). It has every opt. except power trunk closer. This is the best Mercedes I've every owned, and been loyal customer since bought 380 SL in 1982! Solid build, no problems, performs better than last year's AMG model for $20K less, quiet with the top up. 0-60 mph on mine is much faster than 5.1 sec. spec. It can go 65+ on 25mph curved exit w/o ESC. Wish I could take it to Germany and drive it on the Autobahn!
Favorite Features
Engine, Acceleration, Sport Suspension, 7-speed with paddle shifters, Brakes, Keyless Go, Harmon Kardon, Steering wheel controls. Beautiful car in black metallic with black ragtop and black leather. Hearing Howard Stern again on the Sirius satellite radio!
Suggested Improvements
Treo 700wx phone works with bluetooth but you can't upload the address book. Sirius radio tuner seems slow, and easy to lose reception even under tree cover. Glovebox should be lockable. Cupholder(s) in the back seat and parking sensors that detect the curb would be nice to have cuz bumper is low.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Coupe (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
Bought the car with what I think to be the standard exterior styling package which makes the car look like an AMG tuned sports car (with AMG rims etc). Has beautiful Cappuccino Brown/Black Leather-Sport leather seating with an amazing leather interior. More comfortable interior than any coupe in its class. Test drove new 3-series coupe but fell in love with the powerful CLK. with 3500 miles, still have fun and remain comfortable driving the car. Must get Xeon lights and ventilated multi-contour seats for maximum comfort.
Favorite Features
Smooth and agile 5.5 Liter V-8, handling, great sound system, must have adjustable seats, and strong/muscular exhaust note
Suggested Improvements
Navigation system difficult to operate while driving, more standard features, and need to reintroduce AMG coupe to segment

Review
Without getting technical this car has everything you would want in a convertible. Fun to drive. Fun to look at. Fun to be seen in. Fun to own. Just underrated!
Favorite Features
Top up/top down ease of use
Suggested Improvements
Command center stereo should be standard.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK350 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
Review
I've owned other models of MBZ, several BMW's and some Jaguars. They have all been beautiful, but only one or two of the MBZs have had been as close to perfect as this car. It has the quality of a new Lexus and the stylishness of an old Jaguar. And I'm not easy to please.
Favorite Features
Body style. Pure beauty.
Suggested Improvements
I admit it. I want a functional and convenient cup holder.

Review
With just 200 miles on the odometer, this car already says it all, power, comfort, and agility. There are probably other cars with more of each, but this one has a nice balance of all three. The Harmon Kardon sound system is worth the upgrade. However, the sound from the engine is even better. Just wish it had "real" fuel and temp gauges.
Favorite Features
Engine, Harmon Kardon sound system
Suggested Improvements
"Real" fuel/temp gauges

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Coupe (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
So far this is a pretty rare car on the road probably because it's so highly priced yet not so flashy. I've owned this car for two weeks and put on about 900 miles. The acceleration/power is breathtaking and makes me smile every time I drive this car. The suspension is soft enough to ride comfortably in NYC. And very quiet! I love everything about this car!
Favorite Features
Integrated navigation system, Logic 7 audio, satelite radio, xenon lights, power!
Suggested Improvements
Fuel economy. More modern interior style maybe?

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Convertible (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
My first MB but not my first driving experience. I have been chauffering my Mom in her S500s for years never dreaming I'd be shopping for a MB myself. Test drove the CLK550 and that was it! What a jewel. A real pleasure to find the combination of coupe and convertible with such style and pizzaz! It is perfect. Few things ever are. It sure suits my fancy and makes my day just a little brighter and more interesting. The one complaint I have aesthetically is the choice of rag tops. Whatever happened to that beautiful "buff" colored cloth. Black, Ash and Navy don't suit every one's taste!
Favorite Features
The wrap feel when the top is down and the light, bright ceiling.
Suggested Improvements
Please add a buff colored rag top to your options.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Convertible (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
Just upgraded from 350 cab to the 550 cab. The engine on the 550 is amazing. Too bad the rest of the car lags in comparison. The suspension is downright sloppy. Straight line acceleration is exhilirating, but the smile on your face quickly fades if you have to turn, as it is plagued by execissive body roll and lack of control in corners. Stereo is so-so, and seating, even with the p-3 option pdg which includes upgraded "body contour" seats, is still far below the support and comfort of a BMW. If the BMW 335 convertible were available, I would have bought it. But it is not so I will enjoy this car for my 3 yr lease term and then trade for the more comfortable and sure-footed BMW.
Favorite Features
Exterior looks. This is a fine looking auto, better looking than any of its competitors. Engine performance is amazing.
Suggested Improvements
Better stereo. Better seats (AMG seats from SL should be made available--most comfortable seats on the mkt) Faster- shifting paddle shifters. Sportier suspension setting--this alone would transform the car markedly-the ABC system of the SL would make this into a world-beater.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK350 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
Review
I have owned the car for 2 months and everything has been up to expectations. Drove it from NJ to FL and back, and it was quite comfortable. Very little wind/road noise for a 'sporty' car. The new 7- speed auto is ultra smooth and quick. The new BMW 335 may have better handling/acceleration, but the CLK looks better and is more luxurious inside and out.
Favorite Features
Exterior/interior design. Contoured/heated seats. Smooth/quick acceleration (7-speed auto)
Suggested Improvements
Road holding/handling
