best sedan/coupe I've driven
Tested the Audi s7, BMW 6, Jaguar and then clearly decided on the CLS 4 matic. Incredible design inside and out. Perfect driving in terms of handling, pick up and comfort. Keep getting compliments almost every time I take it for a drive. Could hardly recommend it more highly.
Beautiful but a little fragile
Overall very pleased with the CLS. Looks to kill. Really makes a statement. However, does not handle rough roads very well especially with the AMG tire and rim package. Glad I bought the road hazard coverage.

Sporty and classy
Very sporty and classy. Give a two door coupe feel but with the convenience of having back seats and a pretty big trunk

Great car but missing a few things.
I have driven my 2013 CLS550 for about one thousand miles. This is my first Mercedes, my previous care being a 2010 Hyundai Genesis. I must say that I am not sure the CLS is worth twice the cost of the Genesis. Here are a few annoyances I have found so far. The exterior rear view mirrors do not fold. That option is only available in Canada. The back up camera has no guide lines. The rear seat passengers can regulate the air flow but cannot change the temperature. Admittedly the CLS has much more power than the Genesis, but it is not easy to regulate. The accelerator seems like an on/off switch, which is not easily regulated for steady acceleration.
Purchase mistake
To mention only the most salient points. Visibility for making a left turn is downright dangerous, because of the limited view. The Sport or Comfort choice has no noticeable difference. No place to leave sunglasses for easy access. Battery had to be replaced after 1000 miles Drivers arm rest had to be replaced after 2 years 10,000 miles. The navigation screen tilt invites the sunshine which blinds the screen Seat upholstery is hard and causes pain to a user after a half hour. Rear view camera has a fisheye undesirable lens. A highly questionable technology when turning off the monitor it turns off everything such as the telephone etc. When starting the engine, it roars like a lion for several minutes. I don't like the car and am deeply disappointed in its convoluted in the dashboard located information systems. You need to crawl under dashport to find various switches LEFT TURN VISIBI:ITY< IMPOSSIBLE- DANGEROUS. I would never purchase this car again. AMEN Except for exterior design, the is the worst car I have ever owned
