CLS400 CAR I EVER OWNED

Just purchased a new 2014 Mercedes CLS 550 (MSRP $82,210). I usually purchase E350 Sedans, but because of the superior, outstanding deal I got on this vehicle, I could not resist. First noticeable difference is the outstanding power and performance - 402 hp in a 4.7 liter V8. Fit and Finish are outstanding. Interior design and comfort in front seats is astounding. The ride is smoother and more refined than anything I have ever driven. The car is "dead-out" gorgeous. Safety features like lane-tracking, blind spot monitors and PARKTRONIC are comforting and impeccably designed. Harman/Kardon audio system is unsurpassed in clarity and sound separation. Best car I have ever owned.

I've had my eye on this car for awhile and finally purchased last week. Really like the balance between peformance and looks. I test drove several of its competitors and I think this is hands down the winner.

My CLS550 4Matic

I have waited many years to purchase this car I bought it used at 68K miles. I am in love with my car! The performance is outstanding. When I need the horsepower it’s there. Comfort like I’ve never had before. I look forward to driving it every time I have to go out. The only negative I can think of, is only having two back seats. But the only passengers I ever have are my granddaughters and they love it. The car looks like she’s moving fast when she’s sitting in the garage! Style and class on the inside. And performance on the outside. This car is the best I’ve ever owned.

Chinese parts

Just had 6 essential relays replaced all from China. The car has been in the MB shop for two weeks now trying to find other problems. Never had a brand new car not start. THis problem has brought to light that MB probably has chinese parts splattered all over. So why does this car cost so much? Germans think they can out engineer bad parts. Hardly. I will not but another MB. Over priced for cheap parts - and they still fail no matter how well the design.

A bit lucky right before warranty expires

The car was perfect in every detail, except the navigation system. It got jammed and stuck, a typical malfunction of software or firmware. Only after some visits to the dealership, and some pictures taken from the screen during malfunction, the service manager was convinced there was something else going on. This happened right after buying the vehicle with warranty about to expire. But they honored the promise by replacing the navigation unit. I put 15k miles on it and it still works well.

Ride Quality???

I test drove a 2014 cls550 4matic with 50k on the clock, I was not impressed by the ride quality at all, I expected the air ride to be more comfortable, I felt every crack in the road and the road noise was bad, the tires were new with plenty of tread, I will stick with my 2014 Audi s5 prestige much smoother ride and less road noise....also the the head room was terrible even in the driver seat and I'm 6 foot....my 2 door s5 has much more head room.
