Shocked (in a good way)

I bought this car on the basis of it's looks and apparent condition from a dealer who had mixed reviews. I was shocked at the performance and condition of the car. The dealer did not misrepresent the car at all...the suspension needed some attention, the front bumper cover was cracked, but otherwise it drove really well. This car, which I bought in Florida, cost me a total of $6500 to purchase, ship, replace (the perfectly good) Florida performance tires, with all new season MSR Continentals, new shocks (std. Mercedes recommended shocks),upper and lower ball joints (my choice.). They were not "shot" but i prefer to know what I am driving on, and a trans flush. Car now runs like new. Engine purrs (had 146,700 miles when purchased), and has true sports car performance. I have owned eleven different Mercedes including (3) somewhat modified 16V Cossies, a 1990 500 SL,1 1982 450 SL, 1986 560 SL, 1989 300SE, 1977 230 SL, a 1993 500E (Mercedes claimed super-car from the 1990's, and often touted as one of if not the finest Mercedes ever built) and have driven many others of more recent vintage. I can honestly say this is the best driving handling factory stock Mercedes I have ever driven. Having had both a 500E (1993) and a 400E 1992, as well as the various SL's, this C class car blows them all away from the point of view of handling and power/performance. Any suggestion that the C series cars are inferior in handling to the E series suspended cars...is from the misinformed (at least based on the performance of this CLK Coupe). Based on the various reviews, I have seen on this model, it would seem the reliability of this car is well above the previous Mercedes standards I have enjoyed previously. (spoken from significant experience). In my opinion, this car is one of the greatest "sleepers" ever built.

When I first got Heidi (yes, I named my clk430 Heidi), I was in love. The way this car takes turns, accelerates, and performs overall is amazing. Then, at a mere 77,000 miles- stuff started to break...the convertible top computer went out all the time, and eventually died (1400$ part), the cats needed to be replaced (1000$)...then after all that, the trans started slipping...after getting multiple quotes to fix all the problems and replace the trans, I was looking at about 5000$ worth of repairs. I made the choice to trade her in for the Lamborghini inspired Toyota mr2 spyder. The opinion of many mechanics was that the clks trans tends to die at 80k miles. Way too soon in my opinion.

Initial electrical problems with the interior operating components. The local dealer was more then helpful, always providing a loaner even though I did not buy it from them. After several visits, the dealer seems to have exorcised the electrical gremlins and the car is an absolute joy to drive. I can average 23 MPG if I drive at regular speeds. However, it is difficult to do that as this car constantly asks for more spirited driving and rewards you with a well balanced and stunning performance and , even with my driving style, still returns an average of 18MPG! I LOVE THIS CAR! I have a 2003 Corvette Z06 and did not drive it all summer because I would always turn to the Mercedes for driving.

Purchased this 2002 CLK55 AMG in April 2006 with 30,000 miles only on it! Paid $42,500. Can't beat the power nor the handling its incredible! Why go out and buy an new M3 or CLS when you cant get one of these for a fraction of the price. 0-60 in 4.7! The looks are stunning and it catch's everyone's attention when you step on it!
A great car to drive

I've had convertibles for the last 30 years. This is by far the most fun to drive. The trunk is very small, but who cares. If you have golf clubs, throw them in the back seat. However, as other people have noted, the electrical systems leave a lot to be desired.

I purchased this car used in 2006. It had about 41000 miles on it.It was a great car and the first owner really took care of it. I didn't purchase the extended warranty. The first year I drove it was great. Doesn't matter if you're young or old, people will turn their heads to see who is driving this car. I picked this car for the sleek yet muscular body style that the newer models do not have. My best friend went online after I got this car and purchased a certified MB CLK 430 as well, but he failed to realize that the heated seats and halogen headlights weren't standard. The power of the 430 is amazing and often found myself flooring the gas pedal to feel the G force push lay me back.

Clk is pricey on repairs . Tires wear out fast. Unable to rotate as they are directional staggered. Front brakes also wear fast. Body panels not up to present day gaps at seams. Expect some minor creaks within the interior. Decent mpg. Don't get one with chrome wheels. Phone system outdated. Resell value very disappointi by regardless if private party, even less so as trade-in. Quite fast, comfortable for 2 door coupe. Looks great & doesn't look outdated. Better than most in same class. Pay more to get one NOT beat up. Worth ownership if maintenance factor not an issue for buyer.

This is perhaps one of the best vehicles I have ever driven. My only complaint is the electronics. My passenger seat got stuck and the convertible top also got stuck. I had to reset the computer at the dealership to handle this problem. Other than that this car is exceptionally awesome! Super fast and really classy.

A great year-round car. With snows on in winter drivability is excellent - we get 100" of snow a year. The top is very well insulated & quiet. On any sunny day above 55 degrees I have the top down. The wind screen does a great job of keeping the cabin serene and the heated seats keep you warm, that way you can focus on the excellent exhaust note. Mileage is good at 24MPG and 27MPG highway. This is a cruiser-not a sports car. Performance is adequate, not stellar. High speed cruising is addictive and one can blast to high speed and beyond without realizing it, even with the top down - It's that well designed. I targeted this car specifically over the new model as this one is designed by Bruno Sacco.

I have always purchased low mile cars. When I purchased my CLK in September of 2009 from a So Cal MB it had 40K miles. In less than 2 years I added another 46K miles. I have had no issues with the car until. Unfortuneately the car was recently involved in an accident that left it totaled. I have had little luck locating a replacement w/low miles. I will continue my hunt.

I purchased this in October of 2005 with 25,000 miles on the odo. for $43,500. It is truely a dream to drive and good on gas too! You cant beat the handling and the 0-60 in 4.5- 5.0 is NICE. Mercedes has built a rocket that can unleash at anytime. The ride is a bit stiff but it sittin on 17 inch/40/45's.

My '02 CLK just had its 1yr anniversary, and I must say I LOVE THE CAR. This is my first MB and probably won't be my last. Lots of power & comfort, very aggressive yet forgiving. Gas mileage is about the same as my V6 Accord. Safety & luxury features are in abundance. Everything is very ergonomically designed, and the infrared keys are the best. The pop-up trunk makes loading easy, and remote open/close windows and sunroof are nice. Engine noise is practically unheard of from the inside cabin (opposite of BMW). Acceleration & braking is very smooth (opposite of BMW).

I purchased this vehicle used after totaling my 1998 C class. I love it! I picked this year specifically because of the body style. I prefer this style to the newer models which are much smaller. So far I've had no problems thanks to the former owner, who took such good care of it! I love the color (BLACK OPAL). It is a real head turner.

This car has taught me what a car should be like. I find ingenious features every time I drive this vehicle. You don't even need the 430 version because this CLK 320 car is a sports car in itself. Worth every penny!

This is the one of the best buys Mercedes offers. The car is extremely well built and drives smoothly. My gas mileage in combined city/highway traffic is 25 mpg. The car is nimble and quick and looks great. Resale value after 5 years will be almost $26,000.

I purchased the 2002 CLK55 cabriolet with 28,000 miles on it in May 2005. The center console had to be replaced due to some LCD pixels burning out. The convertible top cables were also replaced at the same time. All work was under warranty. With the exception of these issues, this vehicle drives (and shows itself off) like a dream. Compliments abound when I'm on the road, stopped at a stoplight, going through a drive-thru window, etc.

This is my second CLK, I purchased a CLK 320 in March '00 and was very happy with the veh. I traded the 320 for CLK 430 in June'02 The 430 is so much more responsive and powerful. I've own other sports cars in the past and I would place the 430 at the head of the class. It affords me a level of expected quality and pestige that only MB can coupled with the fun of driving a true sports car.

The car is clearly the best car I have driven. But... Mercedes has one problem with this vehicle... electronics! Intermittently(once every 3 weeks), the left channel of the stereo system goes out for some reason. Once you turn the car off and reset the computer, everything is fine. It also has stranded me once because of a full electronical system failure! If you could overlook that system failure & the annoying electronic glitch... it is an awsome car with stunning looks & power.

This automobile is a mechanical nightmare. I have replaced: two catalytic converters, electric motor in drivers seat (2 times), pressure sensor in the fuel tank, CD changer, one motor mount and now it is having electrical problems with the braking system. However, I love the drive and the styling. Unfortunately, with all the problems the bloom is off of the rose!

On performance I give it very high marks. However, mercedes cuts corners on quality. This is my second CLK. My first was plaqued with problems ranging from engine trouble (random stalling)to window failure. In fact, I couldn't sell it because mercedes couldn't not get the "check engine" light to go out. I was forced to trade it in. My second CLK has had one problem after another ranging from not starting, to seat controls, to air conditioning..the list goes on. The wood grain bleeds into the leather on the doors. Don't order the hands free phone. 50% of the time the car doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in and you are forced to pull over to reset the engine. Bad sound quality also

This is the most fun car I've ever driven. When I went to trade in my 911 Porsche for a more practical car, I thought I would have to say good-bye to speed. This car effortlessly leaves everyone else in my dust. My office is next to an exotic car dealership. I love the looks of people who just plunked down over $100K, and didn't get nearly the car I did. This car never breaks a sweat as you go from a stop to highway speeds in a blink of an eye.

Ordered the car and waited 6 months for delivery. Anticipation may have heightened my expectations. I was a little disappointed with the car but like it more the more I drive it. German quailty and engineering are good but too rigid for me. MBs are supponse to hold their resale value and I'm hoping that it true.

Everything is great about this car, except there is no CD changer in it as a standard option. I think it is very cheap of Mercedes to do such a thing when Toyota Corolla's already come with CD players. Even worse, it can only be a Mercedes Benz CD Changer since there are Fiber optic wires included. Retail will run anywhere from $700-$1200.

The car is an absolute joy to drive. I have had some negative experiences with the electronics i.e. the passenger window express up/down feature malfunctions quite frequently. I have experienced a complete shutdown of the car while sitting at a stop sign. My biggest gripe is that the computer "forgets" that there is a CD changer mounted in the trunk and I have to pull over and restart the car in order for the computer to "remember".

I purchased the 2002 clk 320 convertible in 2019 from a mechanics son with 95k miles on it. He had just bought it two months prior from a auto yard. No accidents or body work damage but she had a lot of other issues. Found a great mechanic and did a diagnostic test and inspection. The front end needed work, transmission was leaking oil and needed major repairs, all the wires were cut behind the dashboard so I had no air-conditioning unit only the face plate in the hole, the radio was dead and every SBS ABS light was going off. I had constant heat coming from the dashboard because I guess when they cut the wires it was in heat mode so summer winter fall I had heat. The convertible top did not work and it was not fully closed due to the previous owner trying to fix it. Cd changer was broken, trunk cover, windscreen minor body parts were missing like the emblem and the part over the license plate lite. The battery was the wrong size and the alarm siren would go off at any point. It leaked around the windows when it rained. The rubber on the windows between the front and back window were damaged and missing, no floor mats the wood on the door panels was cracked raised and needed to be replaced, the cupholder component was missing altogether. But the engine ran like a charm and the transmission even with the rough shifting was still working. The MPG is great. Since I only paid $14,000 for it I went on my journey to bring her back to her happy self. I would find parts online buy parts from Germany and found a junkyard about an hour and a half drive away from me that had most of the other parts I needed. In 2020 and 2021 during Covid we had a lot of time on our hands so it was a joy more than a task to find the parts and get them to my mechanic for him to repair at a nominal fee. Every time I needed a part I’d say what’s the part number? and he would give it to me and I will find it and get them to him. I even replaced the headlights. To date 2021 she has just about everything working replaced or repaired. I updated radio from the original so now it has Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, charges my phone, voice activation and it connects to the system in my Mercedes to let me know where it’s parked, everything a new 2021 vehicle audio system does and the speaker systems is awesome. The wood paneling on the door is a dark green versus the amber brown wood that I could not find. It now has heated seats. The element was added when I replaced the new dash switches. The convertible top operates and is is ready for it’s new canvas top and lining in about a week. It is fun to drive I love to punch it on the freeway just to feel the speed (on an semi empty freeway got it up to 130mph) and hear that engine roar note and leave everyone else in my rear view. My last item will be a paint job same silver but for now we are both happy campers.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I've wanted a Benz convertable for the longest time and in 2001 my dream came true. I had to wait nearly a year before it arrived at my dealer, but it was so worth it. This car drives great. I took it down the Coast Highway last summer and had a blast. The car is a real eye catcher too. I get compliments on it every time I take it out. It's also very quiet with the top up, even though that's not often for me. The seats are very comfortable too, its been to LA and back a few times. In a few years I'll seriously look into an SL-Class.

My first MB, and dealer told me this was a "Gentleman's Racer", which I originally though was kinda corny -- but now I know this is definitly the best way to describe the CLK430. After buying a new car every other year for the past 22 years...this is the first time I plan on keeping one -- there's nothing else on the road better under 100 grand -- that says it's all. This is one great ride.

For my whole life, I've been a staunch supporter of American automobiles. However, due to "unfixable" problems with each of the three cars I've owned, it was time to try a foreign automobile. When I test drove the Mercedes Benz CLK 430, I was sold immediately. It is undoubtedly the finest car that I have ever owned. Everything about the car is spectacular, from the interior styling and exterior design of the car, to the great performance and tight ride. I'll definitely be sticking with Mercedes Benz for all future car purchases. It's a head turner!
Nice Car

This car is one of the best looking cars on the road. It is also great to drive.
A fun car to drive

I don't think it is particularly "flashy" from the outside but it just takes a quick drive to find out just how much fun this car is. Although it takes premium gas, my overall after 6500 miles per the car's computer is 24.5 miles per gallon. On a recent trip I averaged 30 mpg! A added bonus I didn't expect. The only down side of this car is the seats are un- comfortable and the adjustments are few unless you have some special added package that I don't have. Get rid of the heated seats and put in adjustments to make it more comfortable. That is my opinion.
My best car yet

Excellent value for a lease. Excellent performer, even for a 6 cylinder, on the highway. Tight and precise on local roads. The car is flawless. I only wish I got the convertible.
Still gets looks

This is the first Mercedes I've purchased. I will not settle for less (I since purchased an M-Class then an R-Class for my wife). The handling is great and the top is easy to work (the next year Mercedes make the top fully automatic). I would recommend the CLK to any person that enjoys the being out and about. The trips to Las Vegas make this ride a must! Just wish that bluetooth was readily available in 2002.
Speedy and Classy

My dad got this car earlier this year and I think it's quite ugly. But, the performance is superb. It is also very well made and fun to drive, as well as comfortable.

It's fun to drive but disappointed with the problems I am having. I hit 50,000 miles a few months ago and have had one problem after another; the engine fan completely went, the catalyst converter is coming apart, and the lights (parklights, headlights, tail lights, etc.) must be replaced every other month.

This is one of the most fun to drive cars I have ever owned. I have owned a TransAm, RX-7, Mustangs, BMWs, and Corvettes and I must say this car is way up on top on the fun factor. Enough power, outstanding handling, absolutely unmatching looks, and a real head turner. I love the car.

After a couple of years with the car. I am extremelly satisfied with it. Power delivery is fantastic. I used as my daily driver the first year and it now is my second (weekend) car.
