2002 CLK 320 Long Term Review
I have owned my CLK 320 coupe for 3 years. The car is now at 39,000 miles. The car started out well when first purchased but is now falling apart. The engine valve rocker arms have been replaced 4 times and are still loud when the car is cold. The front seat track has been replaced as well as both rear seat latches as well as the outside temperature sensor and all of the instrument guages. The tires wore out at 14,000 miles and the ignition wires had to be replaced at 33,000 miles. The undercarriage is now making a loud rattling sound like marbles in a bucket.
Best Regtop ever
Great Car overall. This is the best ragtop of the price anywhere. I laugh as I drive this car past all the 3 series BMWs out there.

02 CLK 430
I am very impressed with this car. It is very quick (espcially at higher speeds/top end), tons of fun, and the maintenance thus far has been minimal. This car is a real head turner. Since I owned I had the following problems: Fog light out, Temp guage loose (warranty), rear window shade replaced (warranty), Moon Roof cover slider defective.
Mid-life refresher
The CLK320 Cabriolet is truly a fun car to drive and a head turner even in a crowd of Benz's, BMW's, Caddies, et al. There are a few weaknesses though in the clunky suspension and lack of steering feedback. As I tell my son, it's a luxury car not a sports car speedster. For class, style, and practicality I don't think there's anything on the market even close, although reviews that say it seats 4 adults "comfortably" must be based on the opinion of some small folks. You can get 4 in, but nobody is very comfortable. Engine is strong, even if not real quick off the line and the highway ride is dangerously smooth - 100mph creeps up on you easily. If you're looking at this car - BUY IT - you won't be sorry!
Wonderful Car
This is a great car! Fun to drive, lots of power and very smooth and quiet. Seems to be most happy at about 80 mph on the highway. Gets 29mpg at that speed. I am 6'4" tall and have no problem getting comfortable. Quality is very high although I have had some problems with interior rattles. The dealer took care of them at the first service. My only complaint is the door sills seem to get dirty very easily with scuff marks from my and my passenger's shoes. I think it is related to the type of plastic that is used. Otherwise, I have no complaints and enthusiastically recommend this car.
