2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK500 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 7A)

I think the car is satisfying overall. It is a well rounded machine, although those expecting a sports car may be a bit dissapointed. I had a 911 cab prior so that may not be a fair statement. It is smooth, quiet and powerful, although I understand they are putting the new v8 found in the 2007 S class thoughout the line to replace the current 5.0 ltr motor. That will be a real lift in power. (some 80 or so horses.) Kind of wish I would have waited for the 2007. I put 18 inch BBS wheels on mine and it handles better w/o much loss in ride. They look better too. I may put on cross drilled rotors(for looks and performance)w/perf. pads(to lessen dust), and maybe sway bars to help prevent leaning.
Very pleased

I've had the car for 5 months now and couldn't be more pleased. The car handles exactly like you would expect and has outstanding performance. I have the 500 convertible and it doesn't accelerate, it leaps forward. I can imagine how the '07 550 accelerates. I compared it to the Audi S4 and the BMW 6 convertibles. The only thing the Audi had on it was all wheel drive - but it came with a higher monthly lease cost. The BMW wasn't as attractive and the back seat was not worth having. The back seat on the Benz while not expansive can and has held 2 full size adults confortably. The convertible top works great although it could be a little faster and less sensitive to items in the trunk.

I purchased by CLK 500 in August after two years of research and test driving other cars and I must say I have never experienced anything like driving my CLK 500. The stares I get from other drivers (especially from BMW owners). Every time I drive the car I get challeged to race and it is usually from the BMW owners. That is a sign that this is an exceptional car. As for the driving experience it is truly orgasmic. The seats hugs you and the ride is so smooth. I love the accelaration when entering the freeway. I get nothing but compliments on this car and am truly happy I decided to purchase it.
Worst Vehicle I've Ever Owned

Bought a beautiful 2006 Cabriolet Convertible with a little over 65,000 miles in 2010. Had car checked out at local Mercedes-Benz dealership shop to make sure I was purchasing a great car. Car had only one owner, was a local trade-in, and was all M-B serviced sinced new. Car has great styling, beautiful design and color and rode and performed great; until about 72,000 miles. Then the problem and maintenance issues started. The expensive scheduled mainteance items started to come due like brake fluid changes, tranmission services, other engine service items too numerous to list. The reliability issues started with SRS issues, "check engine" lights, "anti-role prevention" issues etc. Seems like every couple of months there was something wrong with this car. And every repair or service grew more and more expensive. Some of the repairs took as many as five fixes to finally resolve them. Then at 113,000 miles the engine balance shaft and Intake manifold had to be replaced. That costed $6700. Three weeks later, the alternater when bad. another $800. This car is a piece of "shite". You pay a butt load of money for them and they promise you the best car you're ever drive. What you get is a car that is beautiful, stylish and worthless. This by far is the worst, least reliable, least dependable, most problematic, and overly expensive vehicle I've EVER owned. I had Lexus, Acure, Inifiniti, Chevy, and Toyotas that have gien hardly any trouble at all, and all except the Lexus were drive well over 200,000 miles with little more than scheduled and routine maintenance. This "Pisa-Shite" CLK-350 has costed me more in repairs since I've had it than all of the other cars I've owned combined. The car has 114,000 miles on it now, and I don't trust it to the grocery store anymore. And they depreciate like no other. What a piece of JUNK. Thank you Mercedes. I now know I'll NEVER EVER own another one.

I took delivery in July 2005 and the car has been perfect in every way. I owned a 1999 CLK cabrio and never had a problem with it in over six years of ownership. The new engine and transmission are a vast improvement over the 320 CLK.
