While there isn't much visual differences between the CL500,600,55 the 65 stands alone when it comes to power. The 604hp is almost too much for the rear wheels. I wish it had all wheel drive and was about 1500lbs lighter and was truly stand out that this vehicle cost close to $200K I was tempted to leave the window sticker permanently in the window. I also wish MB would not have put a governor on the vehicle it tops out at 155 where it still has plenty of room to stretch out to the 200 mark. I admit I don't feel 100% safe driving at the mid triple mark speeds b/c it is close to 6K lbs and would hate to have to try to stop or make a swerve If cash is tight go buy a BMW
The best or nothing!

When you want to step up to this level of car you will want to make sure everything works before you buy. Make sure to get a warranty also, (just in case). If you want a car that can transport you to the middle of next week "right now" this is the car your looking for. This car can break the tires loose at eighty miles per hour. Cornering is just as capable with the ABC able to keep the car level at all times. Luxury abounds as well. Key less entry, key less start, climate control, power sunshade in rear window, leather with wood trim, heated, cooled, and massaging, sixteen way power seats that I am very comfortable in just to mention a few goodies. So far after 12,000 miles I have had one problem, the trunk not opening. Shouldn't have been a big deal but neither the key nor the electronics would open it. Unfortunately the battery went dead due to one of the trunk opening components draining it. Once all three components were changed at the dealer there have been no problems since. You will have to put in quality gas or the injectors will plug up. They only made 56 of these this year so this is indeed a rare car. I own number 14. It took me a while to figure out the number embroidered in the sun roof cover. The number is "1456". It stands for 14 of 56! To buy one of these new would have cost close to $200,000, ($178,600 base price). You can buy one for a lot less now. A bargain in my book. Another "CL55" owner told me that the CL is the best model Mercedes ever made. This model is stout and sexy, and in my opinion the best looking.

I bought this CL 65 new in 2006, the CL has never been a garage queen and has been driven quite hard for most of it's life so far. A lot of track days with fellow AMG guys, the CL has never let me down apart from getting bad fuel in New Mexico once and that screwed up my injectors...ouch! She now has over 130k miles and refuses to die, she starts on the button and purrs like a big cat until she settles down ready to drive and that's when the big smile appears on my face as I know what I'm in for.... She is completely stock with only the Kleemann chip installed which removes the red line (what red line?) and increases the BHP and Torque (as if you need any more?), max speed observed in my CL 65 was 198mph....just couldn't get her over the 200 mark!!! This model year of CL 65's can be purchased so ridiculously cheap now, prices compatible with a second hand Pick up truck!!!! My Car is probably only worth around the 15k mark...really silly! However, I'll NEVER sell my Baby, too much history and the fun still keeps coming. Not a scratch and she has everything she ever needed to be in 100% flying condition. Not too many cars around that can keep up with her, whether it's in the corners or the straightways…..Thank you Mercedes. Main buying tip for you all out there....make sure the ABC is working, check the front struts for weird looking orangy coloured rubbery powder on the top of them.....if that's all ok....buy it!!!!!!!!!

The only gripe that I have with the car is that it does not come with a manual transmission. But I'm otherwise totally floored by this car, never have I had this much fun, the car can do anything. Track days (bye bye Porsche, Ferrari, Vettes etc etc, normal drives in the mountains and eats up the highways. Comfort second to none and no noise ever! I love it and will be buried in it. One car I will never let go of. Might be expensive but you can't put a price on the smiles / mile in this car!

Second AMG car in two years good looking very fast car, a blast to drive interior not quite as comfortable as expected but good. Would take a serious look at the CL55 before spending extra money.
