Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Refined beyond belief, dizzying array of high-tech features, classic styling, impressive performance.
Cons
- Complex navigation and audio systems, cramped rear seat.
What’s new
A new seven-speed automatic transmission is now standard on the CL500. The navigation system is now DVD-based, the Keyless Go system no longer requires a separate plastic card and newly styled 18-inch wheels have been added to the options list.
Edmunds says
One of the finest coupes on the road today, the CL is an artful blend of performance, technology and classic luxury that rarely fails to impress.

CL Amazing!

2003 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CL500 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 5A)
I just bought my 2003 CL 500 and I love the car! It is great, no problems and many standard features. I wish the car had a more aggressive look, but it still looks very classy. Fuel economy also is bad 16-24mpg I typically get 15-17 and I drive conservatively. If you have the money I would def recommend one, a lot better than most cars out there!
She is a beauty!

2004 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CL500 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 7A)
This is a great car! picked it up last
week from FL and drove it up about
1,200 miles to the east coast, despite
the long drive, it was a breeze, the
car felt rock solid, noise road was
minimum considering the fact I had 19
inch tires on it. It handels
beautifuly, the engine is responsive
enough when you need it to be, and
make no mistake about it, you feel
like you … "own" the road when you are
behind the wheels. Great car, it won't
handle like my 540i, but that's not
what this car is for.
By the way I was averaging about 23MPG
highway driving and that's not bad for
for a 5L V8.

2004 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CL500 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 7A)
First of all the car is nice inside out. Mechanically i expect better from German manufacturers. Why cant they build a car with German quality and Japan reliability? Anything goes wrong with this car minimum $500 to fix.
Best car I have ever owned or been in.

2004 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CL55 AMG 2dr Coupe (5.4L 8cyl S/C 5A)
After owning two Porsches and 3 Mercedes, this is the best handling and most powerful car I have ever owned. I plan to keep this car forever. I just got this car for $38K with 74,000 miles on it. It looks and drives like it was brand new. The original owner traded it in on the latest version. It get attention from people that know what it is, but is fairly stealthly for such a powerful … car.
