I have to say that this is one fine automobile! It is an orgasmic experience-wow! The handling,power,linear lineage,interior layout and exceptional craftsmanship to detail is wonderful. I have read some reviews that mention that the rear seats and headroom are a negative-really?! I bought this car for myself and my wife-I could care less about the comfort of the rear passengers-take a cab! The features that jump out at me are the side bolsters, passive massage, COMMAND features, Lane Assist option, raw power and acceleration. I work in auto sales with a competitor, but after reviewing this vehicle for 2 years, I had to have it. I may be looking for a new job, but this baby is worth it!

Three weeks ago I traded in my 2009 SL550 for this car (2013 CLS550). I had some initial concerns that I would miss my SL, a car I liked very much. I like the CLS so much I haven't spent one minute missing the SL. The CLS is very quiet, luxurious, comfortable, powerful and handles well. It drives smaller than it is, in fact, while it is physically larger than my SL, it doesn't it feel it to me. I am looking forward to a long term, trouble free, relationship with my CLS550. It's now been one year since I wrote my original review. I have to say I'm still very happy with my CLS 550. No longer Owen the vehicle.

I purchased a 2013 CLS550 (4matic). This vehicle is really fun to drive. As mentioned in various reviews the disappointments are the back up camera has not guidelines, the passenger doesn't have seat massagers, the side mirrors do not fold and the PARKTRONIC engage at speeds below 20 MPH. The Parktronics feature is great however it seems to periodically stick. The engine performs as commanded. The engine does has a speed limiter feature the limits the top speed to 133MPH (160 shown on the dashboard).

Car is stunning, inside and out. It is powerful, fun, and got me a lot of compliments. I owned the vehicle for 15 months, and, in that time, had 3 sets of tires on the vehicle (in approximately 18000 miles). Pirelli, Michelin, and Firestone Indy 500’s. Car left me stranded twice after hitting minor road inconsistencies, completely destroying multiple tires and cracking/denting rims. Both times I was going under 40 MPH. Wheels and tires are not cheap... Each time, I watched tons of cars pass me, hitting the same pothole and cruising on by. Unfortunately, this is not only a dangerous but incredibly frustrating and inconvenient. I traded in the car, lost a bunch of money, and got something I don’t have anxiety driving anymore. My buddy’s mom said she had the same issue (same exact vehicle) and switched out as well. I would recommend the vehicle if you live somewhere where the roads are perfectly maintained, if such a place exists. It’s unfortunate, because I have no other complaints about the vehicle at all. Just a heads up, watch out for any inconsistencies in the road!
