Just a great car! Performance is amazing, handling is excellent without sacrificing too much ride quality, and the brakes are phenomenal. I bought the car 4 months ago and am averaging 18mpg, pretty good for 5.5l V8. Bizarrely this is better mileage than I got from my 2005 C320. My only complaint is that sometimes the transmission gets confused, especially if flooring the throttle at around 20-25mph. There is a noticeable lag before things start happening. Also watch it in the rain, it will spin the rear tyres at 70mph under full acceleration.
Step above the rest

This coupe will turn you into a racecar driver.IT has the same engine as the S class with a fraction of the price.This car really has it all, from it's 8 cyinder engine to it's body sculpted desing that has AMG written all over it. When night arrives is when the fun begins. It's very spacious cabon has all the bells and whistels to make your drive extremely fun.Whether you are looking for nav, keyless go, heated seats this car has it all. I will have to agree with Mercedes Benz quote. In a perfect world everyone would own one. Moreover, not everyone is going to agree with me, but that is the people who does not own one. As having a great affinity for cars especially coupes this one has it all
Love my CLK 550!

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.

Having owned several performance Mercedes over the yrs including the SL series, the CLK 550 is proving to be the best road machine I have ever driven. Mechanics wedded to aesthetics.
Lean mean machine
