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).

Being a fan of this particular W218, I ordered new with every option available, including a Designo package. Back then, the Designo wasn’t very prominent but I wanted the very best, this class had to offer. To this day with only 45k miles, it’s never been in the shop for a single issue. It’s been serviced and had only OEM MO replacement tires. It’s never had to have aligned or brakes or any physical damage whatsoever. It’s as perfect as the day I picked it up. I find that people are always asking, did I get it? I find cars today aren’t pretty or sexy. Most people buy SUV’s because they are sheep. I buy cars that are art and inspire emotion. Most of these are just basic and most of them don’t last. I usually trade every 2-3 years but I haven’t found anything I like as well. As amazing as the new technology is on the never versions, they are not esthetically pleasing. It’s hard to find one even 9 years later, (unless you buy a 63) that cost 96k. This was an S Class with youth. I even had the engine tuned to put out almost 650hp. I couldn’t have ever asked for a mow beautifully designed of better built car. I hear people complain about build quality or cheap materials but unless you buy the upper end, you’ll get what you pay for. To me, it’s all in how you maintain and keep your cars. They are like children, you raise them properly and you’ll have a good person, you raise them poorly, (or to the “best of your ability”) and you have nothing but trouble and disappointment.

Combines performance of a sports car with sophistication and elegance. You will find yourself making up errands to run just to drive this amazing car.

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!
