I've had my CLK 550 for years, I bought it new. I've put 97k + miles on it and in that time it had only needed new tires and one set of rear brake pads replaced, aside from the usual oil changes and MB routine car care. Now heading for 15 years, it needed the transmission replaced plus other issues. I fixed it because I love how this car drives. It has an incredible engine and at highway speeds it's a joy to drive. It's roomy and luxurious inside. The cons are that it's a coupe, so no back doors and there is some noise from the road that can be heard. It doesn't have the latest technology inside but I'm ok with that.

Without getting technical this car has everything you would want in a convertible. Fun to drive. Fun to look at. Fun to be seen in. Fun to own. Just underrated!

Great car, sound system is great, great acceleration. I'm glad the Premium package I for 2009 has bluetooth since I live in CA. Great improvement.
Engineers with nothing better to do.

I have driven many cars in my 72 years This is the least user friendly car I have ever owned. MB has too many engineers who are really playing games with car functions. They have made life complicated for no benefit. Dealing with some of the menus and subs is distracting and takes the drivers eyes away from the road. I can't advise anybody to buy this car and would actively discourage anybody from doing so. MB is not alone Simplicity is what is needed! It seems that this is the way many manufactures are going and it is a mistake One should not have to be an engineer or a computer scientist to understand the car. The operating handbook is poorly laid out. Why should the operation of lights be on 8 pages?
Benz is Best

I've owned just about everything but truly exotic cars, i.e. Ferrari, Rolls, Bentley, Maserati, etc. This Benz, with the 5.5 liter engine, is one of the most powerful cars I've had. The styling appeals to women of taste and the performance appeals to anyone who likes gobs of horsepower, push you to the seat acceleration and so on. I believe this car will become a collector's edition over time. Mine is white, with light beige seats and a black top. At gas stations people almost always say, "What a beautiful car". There are more expensive convertibles, but few with the "wow factor" of this vehicle.
