Greatest MB I've ever owned!

The CL600 just blew me away when I test drove it at the dealership! Fit and finish is superb. Handling is excellent. I love how it comes fully loaded with all options. I've owned an SL500, SL55 and a CLS500 before this car. None of those MB cars comes close to how wonderful this car is.

The way it handles and responds, sticks to the road is extremely safe and best for my 16 year old to take the driving test in. Love rush hour, I can make decisions several moves ahead in traffic before other cars even think about accelerating. It comes with maintenance responsibilities, but there are things you can do and parts that you can buy that give you more power and are reliable. Like the starter coils. Plus now you can get them for 20% or less MSRP. My son read an article and when I pulled up in it he said "Dad, is that the car you pay 40k more just for .02 (2 tenths) of a second faster?" I said, "Why yes son, yes it is." I got mine sub 30.

Phenomenal car. A beast to drive. Driving stability is incredible thanks to ABC. The front is aggresive and the rear tends to grow on you after a while.

I love this car - Electronics - not so much

It's fast and a lot of fun to drive. Holds the road real well. Because it is rear wheel drive with good torque, it needs winter tires or really good all season tires. you will definitely want to get an extended warranty because repairs are expensive. I'm thinking about getting a 2014 CL63

For a 2008 model this car was way ahead of its time. Some features have only shown up on other cars in very recent years. The night visibility feature is still not on most cars. Comfort, quality, design are all outstanding
