    This is arguably the finest super coupe on the road. Period. The CL600 is sleek, sexy and the craftmanship is suberb. Awesome power, sporty yet luxurious. I can't even imagine how Mercedes could improve this car. Simply gorgeous...king of the road.

    It is a bit uncomfortable to get in and out of the rear seats but hey, I drive not ride. I love the car. I am still working on all the toys as Mercedes are not known for their toys. I am trying to det the DVD to show a picture.

    Mercedes Benz CL500 " A Driver's Dream."

    All around beautifully designed inside and out. Very comfortable on long drives or just out for a fun spin around the block. Adequate power and great automatic shifter for extra fun on the highways. Many extra options available which I took advantage of. Includes automatic starter, AMG sport package, satelite radio, upgraded navigation and a few others. Being a huge car fan, this is THE car to drive. Luxury, sport orientated, and sophistication in one awesome package. No dissapointments for the true car driver!

    Left the 330BMW convertible as it was both uncomfortable and small. The CL500 has made my wife and I feel that it has put us back in a smooth ride again it makes us feel very safe.The style is nice as there isn't a window bar betwween the front and back window giving you as close a feeling to being in a convertable. Very roomy with enough horse power to get onto a parkway that is moving at a fairly fast pace.

    TRADED IN A 2004 MB 500. THAT CAR WAS A DELIGHT TO OWN, BUT NOW WITH THE CL500S IT FEELS LIKE I AM FLOATING ON A SOFT CLOUD INTO HEAVEN. WISH I COULD HAVE HAD PARKTRONIC WITH IT, BUT DEALERS INVENTORY DID NOT HAVE ANY IN STOCK. AND I WANTED IT NOW, NOT LATER!

    I live in NZ and have owned my cl600 (twin turbo V12) for 3 years now. I puchased it with 62000km on the clock and have put 12000kms on the clock since purchasing. After having owned many BMWs and several other high performance vehicles, Jaguars, GM,s etc and an sl500( I also have a very low mileage sl350 in the garage at the moment) I can truly say that I love this car, everything about it, it's looks, its performance, its comfort and sound system. My cl has had a rentech ecu flash and airbox upgrade, running through a stock exhaust system and dynos at around 610 rear wheel HP. It's not too hard on the gas cost but puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it, I have never owned or even ridden in a car that matches this car even though it is now 16 years old. I believe that this car is a modern day classic, that as well as being capable of extremely high performance is very comfortable and has road holding ability that is second to none. I have aftermarket 19 inch rims fitted with 265/285 nitto invo tyres and 1.5 inch body lowering links, a killer look and unbelievable performance, a car that at present can be bought for a fraction of the cost of far lesser cars that are available.
