Don't be fooled

Don't be fooled by the fact that the emblem says Mercedes Benz. The car is poorly designed and poorly built. Interior is cramped; upgraded sound system is tinny; radio reception is awful; climate control is poor, navigation system is impossible to use. At least 5 service visits in less than a year due to defects. This is more like a Reliant K than a Mercedes Benz!

Paid top dollar for what turned out to be a real dissapointment> Poor quality, and terrible dealer support (Claridges in Fremont, CA). We'll never buy another car from them again.

I just bought a brand new '05 CLK320 in Opal Black Metallic with xenons, 6CD,sunroof, and heated seats. The car is superior to my 2002 Acura TL, the car it replaces, in almost every way. The car's V6 is strong and smooth, the interior is flawless in terms of space, design, and functionality. The Benz makes my 02 TL look like a 10 year old Civic, and the rims are beautiful. Overall, this changes my opinion that mercedes builds slow, big, and unreliable boxes, and it's the first car I've had that makes me smile EVERY time behind the wheel.

Not a sports car at all. Don't be fooled by Mercedes in order for them to sell the car. Automatic trans and low horsepower add up to a boring car. BMW 3 series would have been a smarter purchase! This is definitely an old lady car.
