2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK550 2dr Coupe (5.5L 8cyl 7A)
Review
I previously owned a 2003 CLK500 and let me tell you that the new 550's engine completely blows away the previous version. The accelleration and overall performance is incredible. The exterior and interior are stunning. Practically every time I drive it someone is telling me how beautiful it is. Go get one today.
Favorite Features
Pretty much everything, but if I had to pick one, the engine performance.
Suggested Improvements
Make an option for 18 or 19 inch wheels.

All Engine..Lackluster Steering

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK63 AMG 2dr Convertible (6.2L 8cyl 7A)
Review
This is an extremely fast car, with terrific brakes, a genuinely usable back seat, and decent trunk space (for a convertible). Unfortunately, the steering detracts markedly from the driving experience. Drive the new 3 series convertible, and you will wonder why anyone would pay almost double for the Mercedes, as the 3 series is loads more fun to drive. I had the 3 series, but traded it because of the minuscule trunk space and issues regarding run-flats. I like the AMG--but I have to admit-- reluctantly--that the 3 series was much more fun, at just over half the price, and it gets much better gas mileage. However, given the trunk space issue with the BMW, I am glad I made the switch.
Favorite Features
Engine and brakes. Stereo is pretty decent.
Suggested Improvements
Lumbar adjustment is limited to driver's seat--for long trips the passenger seat thus becomes uncomfortable. Steering is lackluster- -this car feels like a big heavy car (which it is). Interior is chunky and boring. Gas mileage should be improved. I average 10-12 city--hwy is better--around 23-24-

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK350 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
Review
Mercedes has taken the CLK to the next level. Purchased a 350 coupe w/sport suspension and have enjoyed the car from day one! Suspension is a nice balance between sporty and smooth...it doesnt beat you up. It is a blast to drive and has an elegant design. Performance and handling compares to BMWs and Porsches we've owned. Access to the rear seats is a little cumbersome, but if I wanted easy back seat access I would have gotten an E- class.
Favorite Features
Performance, handling, looks and trunk space.
Suggested Improvements
Glove box w/o CD changer and add a lock to it.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK350 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
Review
My chief complaint of this car is it has no locking glove compartment. For God's sake Kia's have locking glove compartments. How do you turn your vehicle over to a valet? Presumably a Mercedes would likely visit valet parking more often than most? Add to that, access to the rear seats comes from lifting and pulling forward the rear seat. Cars half its price have electric motors that do it. Its like driving an old Euro taxi. Build quality, first year, 3rd brakelight lens cover fell out when trunk closed, whining belt pulley,seatbelt not retracting correctly. Wife's '06 E series needed new tranny first 3 months of owning. Not your daddys Benz.
Favorite Features
Looks, handling, trunk space for such a small car.
Suggested Improvements
Glove compartment lock, motorized back seat access. Time to get rid of CD changers in glove compartments.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK63 AMG 2dr Convertible (6.2L 8cyl 7A)
Review
I have owned the CLK 350 CAB, a 550 CAB, and now upgraded to the CLK 6.3 AMG. This car is exhilarating--the engine is amazing, the suspension is almost perfectly tuned--it provides a nice balance between a firm, sporty ride without beating you up, it has back seats that are actually usable, and it flat out goes! I have a few minor gripes-- for a car in this price range, things like NAV, Xenon lights, etc. should be standard. Gas mileage is poor in the city, but surprisingly not bad on the freeway--I average over 24 mpg cruising at 80 mph. Drive one and you will likely buy it--if it's too pricey, opt for a 550, but get the sport suspension--it makes a huge difference.
Favorite Features
The engine, the suspension, the comfortable seats.
Suggested Improvements
Better NAV and stereo; xenon, keyless go, and NAV should be standard, not high-priced options on an already over-priced car.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK350 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
Review
Having parted with my '05 Audi A4 3.0 Cab, I knew I would have to do with out the topless experience. What I didn't know was that I would have to do without a locking glove box. I would also have to lift and push forward the front passenger seat to let someone in the back. Much like an old European taxi. At this price point you shouldn't have to make these basic sacrifices. We have two Merc's at home, when leases end, we will have none! Ever.
Favorite Features
Suggested Improvements
Whiny tranny fix, power seat forward, locking glove compartment, cost of integrating cell phone ridiculous

Review
I love this car!! I have never had more fun with a car that is both frivolous and practical. Excellent combination
Favorite Features
I especially like the agressive pick up and the seating. The car still feels solid and safe at any speed.
Suggested Improvements
I think Bluetooth should be standard.

Review
This car is beautifully styled and lots of pep. The older models had a blind spot on the rear passenger side. There is great visibility with this model.
Favorite Features
The automatic and effortless convertible top makes it easy to open and close.
Suggested Improvements
Could have a holding area for the ipod.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK63 AMG 2dr Convertible (6.2L 8cyl 7A)
Review
We have owned everything from Porches, BMWs, Mercedes, and Corvettes and this is by far the best car. The combination of power and luxury is unbeatable. The looks of this car are stunning with the AMG package. Not to mention a hand-built engine that is to die for. The price for this car is a little on the high side for the market but in comparison to the M6, it is an overall better car. Highly recommend for any high performance car enthusiast, it will be a nice treat.
Favorite Features
Luxuriousness as well as the feeling of cruising comfortably while at high speed. Power.
Suggested Improvements
The price gets bumped up with all the options when for the price it is should be coming standard. Gas mileage is not that great but is to be expected due to the performance of the vehicle.

2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK350 2dr Convertible (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
Review
My fifth Mercedes. This is the best. I have had more compliments on this car than any of the previous 50 or more that I have owned. It is the most confortable car to drive that I ever owned. The only complant that I have is the lack of Blue Tooth phone capabilities. The cost of adding the Mercedes equipment is rediculous. I will wait for the appropriately priced after market to become available.
Favorite Features
Comfort while driving.
Suggested Improvements
Include factory Bluetooth equipment
