Classy, fast, safe and chock-full of luxury, the CLK is a car that more than a few of us wouldn't mind parking in our driveways. Don't ever call the gang at the three-pointed star lazy; they've been rolling out new cars faster than Hot Wheels. One of their latest efforts is the CLK, the latest in a string of Mercedes-Benz victories that will undoubtedly stretch into the next century. Luxury is synonymous with Mercedes, and the CLK lives up to that name. Standard equipment is generous, and the interior is swathed in wood and leather. Based on C-Class sedan running gear and available with either a V6 or V8 in coupe or convertible format, the CLK appeals to people who place sports car performance and the availability of manual transmissions secondary to comfort and convenience. But this Benz is no slouch in the driving satisfaction department. CLK models are powered by a 3. Mercedes asserts that the Coupe goes from zero to 60 mph in 6. CLK models receive a horsepower, 4. This shaves nearly a second off the 's zero-to-sixty time. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through an adaptive logic five-speed automatic transmission that features Touch Shift manual control for Either car feels well balanced in turns, but a little heavy. The drives more like a sedan than a sports car: surefooted and steady rather than agile and quick. The speedy , on the other hand, is tuned for a firm ride and taut handling. In either case, the CLK is an attractive car that turns heads. Safety is addressed by the CLK as well as beauty. Other standard features include front and side airbags and BabySmart child-detection protection for the front passenger seat. For , Electronic Stability Programming ESP , which reduces understeer and oversteer by applying braking force to the wheel that needs it, is standard as well. TeleAid service is also standard, and will notify emergency personnel if your airbags deploy or will put you in touch with a live operator to summon medical or police assistance. Integrating radio, navigation, telephone and trip-computer functions into one unit that displays data on a small dash-mounted screen, COMAND is fussy and distracting to operate. Unless you absolutely must have a navigation system on board, skip this option. The CLK impresses, from the classic and elegant styling, to the smooth and powerful engines, to the comfortable and well-appointed cabin. If you're in the market for a satisfying luxury coupe, it's hard to go wrong with this beautiful Benz. Doing so could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Edmunds also provides consumer-driven dealership sales and service reviews to help you make informed decisions about what cars to buy and where to buy them. Simply research the type of used car you're interested in and then select a prew-owned vehicle from our massive database to find cheap used cars for sale near you. Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so. Popular searches.

Fast, safe a deer hit me and almost no damage , quiet and comfortable. I love it. From what I have read that other Benz' are not as good. One thing to beware of. This is a benz and they are not cheap to maintain. I recently bought my Clk coupe for 5k and absolutely love the style the interior and exterior.. Read less. After owning the car for a few months I have come to enjoy it greatly. When I first got it I was immediately impressed with everything, but a stage of uncertainty came with minor glitches that were cheap and easy fixes surprising little for a car with k miles on it. You will notice the laggish pickup from but from 20 on up the acceleration is incredible. Suspension is top notch creating a very smooth ride and aggressive performance. Taking it around the curves is joyful and you cant take it too fast. Very nice bose speaker system. Lots of built in extras are fun and entertaining. It will make it through the snow but not well. Built very well, its a heavy car and feels very safe. Excellent German engineering. The car handles and drives like a champ. Solid in every aspect. I had to replace the fuel gauge once and other than that, it has been wonderful. Write a review. IIHS Rating. Side Impact Test. See full safety scores.

An impressive grand touring coupe, but not for techno-phobes who may be frightened away by complicated controls. Mercedes has been slashing the costs and curb weights of its product in recent years while substantially upping the technology and gadget quotient. The recently redesigned S-Class, for instance, is lighter, faster, more advanced and cheaper than previous versions. Early reports indicate that the next SL line will benefit from these same design philosophies. This weight-loss, price-drop, techno-injection methodology also served as the guiding principles for Mercedes' top-of-the-line coupe: the CL Everything from the drivetrain to the suspension to the exterior shape has been improved. The raked grille and long, flat hood give the CL a racy look and a. This, combined with a pound drop in curb weight and an advanced suspension system, means that the CL's racy image extends beyond its appearance. Powering the CL is a 5. With its broad torque band and an adaptive transmission that adjusts to meet driver needs, the CL never feels slow. For those wishing to make their own up- and downshift decisions, a "Touch Shift" manual mode can be engaged for maximum gear control. Perhaps the CL's most impressive feature is its Active Body Control ABC , which uses a hydraulic servo mounted atop each coil spring to control body roll, dive and squat. Toss it into a tight corner and the CL will remain flat and composed, laughing at your efforts to produce unwanted wallow or pitch. Settings for ABC include normal and sport to accommodate different levels of driving enthusiasm. The CL's high-tech pedigree continues inside where way adjustable heated and ventilated seats, complete with a "pulse" massage mode, await front passengers. Dual-zone climate controls are easy to operate, but the audio and navigation systems are all combined into Mercedes' trademark COMAND control unit. This system is both praised and ridiculed by the Edmunds. You can love it or hate it, but don't expect to understand it after just a few minutes of fiddling. Only 2, CLs will be offered to the American buying public this year. We like the CL and consider it a tour de force in terms of luxury and technology. But with the a cylinder CL due to hit American shores in the near future, we'd probably either buy the Jag now or wait for the more powerful version of the CL. First it was awe. Then it was respect. Then, finally, jealousy. There are two reasons. Actually, to say I despise cars like the CL is incorrect. Right now, there is nothing like the CL In terms of technology, one could make the argument that this is the most advanced mass production car to ever hit the road. Explaining what the CL is to the uninformed is somewhat difficult. But this is Mercedes-Benz we are talking about, a company whose name selection process only occasionally makes sense to me. The CL has nothing in common with any C-Class vehicle. In a general sense, you can think of the CL as the coupe version of the S-Class. Like the redesigned S-Class that also debuted this year, the new CL is a substantial advancement over the previous model. It is rumored that BMW was so surprised by the new S-Class that the company pushed back the introduction of a redesigned 7 Series to give engineers more time to create a more competitive product. While it's impossible to really know if that rumor is true, it is easy to point out where the new CL is better. It is better everywhere, in nearly every aspect. Being based on the previous S-Class, the previous CL looked slab-sided and bulky, like it had taken a few too many trips to the all-you-can-eat seafood restaurant. For , Mercedes has cleaned up the lines, making the CL look more sculpted. The profile is lower and sleeker, with a long, flat hood, a stretched roofline, a pillarless hardtop and a downswept rear window. One of our editors felt that the front end styling was too similar to the E-Class and CLK, but it's hard to gripe much when the CL has an impressive 0. Pull back the door handle, and both the frameless side and rear-quarter windows lower a fraction of an inch. The CL's doors are mounted using articulating, double-jointed hinges. We noticed that this feature improved entry and exit ease without negatively impacting the amount of space it takes to swing the door open. Drop into the seat and close the door if you didn't close the door completely, the Mercedes will do it for you via a hydraulic assist. People who have driven the S-Class sedan will recognize many of the CL's interior components. However, the quality of materials is better in the CL, with a leather-trimmed dash, less plastic and beautiful wood highlights. We are particularly impressed with the CL's unique stainless steel doorsills and stainless steel outer-edge door trim. Since it is the exact same unit, the difference was most likely due to the fact that we've just gotten used to it. After awhile, a certain logic appears in the madness. Even our most vocal COMAND critic admitted that he was able to program the navigation system, make the stereo and tape deck operate, and adjust the audio controls with little problem. See, if monkey-brained auto journalists can figure it out, so can you. Still, anyone who hops into the CL and has never driven an E-Class or S-Class before will likely be lost without consulting the Tomes of Knowledge, otherwise known as the various owner's manuals jammed in the glove box. Firing up the CL is a simple matter of inserting the infrared key and giving it a quick flick. The 5. This all-aluminum, valve SOHC V8 puts out horsepower at 5, rpm and foot-pounds of torque at a low 2, rpm. It also obtains low-emission vehicle status and produces up to 40 percent fewer emissions than the previous CL engine. It's hard to tell how fast the CL is. It is so smooth, the power delivery so linear, that common references to fast acceleration don't exist. The five-speed automatic transmission is like a rock band's sound technician, staying behind the scenes but constantly directing and making sure everything is as it should be. It is exceptionally intuitive, and just like in the S, pushing the lever to the left or right engages the sequential-shift feature, allowing the driver to manually choose and hold a particular gear. Step on the throttle, and the Mercedes gathers itself up on a wave of torque, seemingly accelerating just as fast from 50 to 90 as it does from zero to To truly determine its speed, you need access to a test track, which we here at Edmunds. The CL might be lighter than it was before, but it still weighs in at over two tons. As such, acceleration from zero to 60 takes 6. But this car isn't really about speed, is it? No, it's more of a synergy of advanced technology and road-going capability. The poster child is the suspension system. Various manufacturers have dabbled with active suspension systems, but none have come close to the level of proficiency set by Mercedes with the CL's standard Active Body Control. No other car currently sold in America including the S-Class has an active suspension. Mercedes says ABC virtually eliminates driver-induced body movements like body roll in cornering, squat under acceleration, and dive under braking. ABC achieves this using hydraulic servos and computer-controlled sensors that continually tune and adjust the suspension to match driver inputs. Think of it this way: The suspension becomes stiff when the car begins to corner, brake or accelerate, improving driver control. When the CL is just rolling along, the suspension stays soft to soak up road irregularities. Most impressive of all, ABC actually works. This is not to say that the CL gets the best of both worlds. Nor can it overcome the laws of physics. This is still a relatively big, heavy car. But ABC does make the CL an even better touring coupe, giving it the ability to confidently take on both long stretches of highway and curving bits of blacktop. A switch on the dash puts ABC into Sport mode, and we could instantly tell the difference. In Sport mode, the ride is firmer, with even less suspension movement. Suffice it to say, you have to execute really stupid maneuvers to get the car to spin. Lots of cars have stability control systems these days, but we haven't encountered anything better than Mercedes' ESP yet. As you might guess, the CL was quite popular with our editorial staff. In less than a week, we had cracked off more than 1, miles. All of the features came into play, such as the way power seats that have three memory positions, pulse massage, heating elements and optional venting fans. The optional Parktronic system made parking lot navigation amazingly easy. We also enjoyed the steering wheel-mounted controls than can be used in conjunction with the central display in the instrument cluster. By using these buttons to adjust the audio system and trip computer, we were able to keep our eyes on the road. With this much seat time, we were able to find some faults. First off, the rear seats aren't meant to hold adults for long periods of time. Yes, they are comfortable, but legroom isn't all that great unless the front passengers move their seats up. We also noticed that while the frameless windows and pillarless roof design looked cool, a very annoying wind noise was being created on the driver's side because the window was not properly seating up against the weather stripping. Other quibbles included a trick but nonetheless limited cupholder that couldn't hold large cups or bottles, a trunk-mounted CD changer Uh, Mercedes, you know these things can be installed in the dash, right? Oh, and the trunk is smaller than a Daewoo Nubira's. Now, call me crazy if you want, but if Farmer Bob ever rear-ends me, I'd much rather be in a CL than a Nubira phone call to Mercedes be damned. There are six airbags, including front, side, and side-curtain shields. Seatbelt pretensioners and belt-force limiters are used at all four passenger positions. As with all Mercedes-Benz vehicles, sensors inside the front passenger seat detect whether a passenger is present. If not, the passenger-side airbags will not deploy. The CL also has the BabySmart feature that deactivates the passenger-side front airbag only if a BabySmart-compliant child-safety seat is placed on the front passenger seat. You won't be disappointed. I could also see someone making an argument for a S over a CL, seeing as how it offers much greater utility while still maintaining the same power and nearly all of the features. But somehow, a S just isn't as unique or special. Which one is he or she going to want to own? System Score: 9. Since this is a two-door coupe, there are no rear doors in this vehicle. Therefore, the speaker setup consists of a minimum of speaker positions, but the ones that are there sound fabulous. This Bose system consists of a pair of six-inch mid-bass drivers one in each door coupled to a nicely placed pair of tweeters up above. The tweeters are built into their own enclosure just above the door, which tucks between the rearview mirror and the dash. They sound great. The rear decks hold a inch woofer that rocks your socks off. There is a sizeable power amp hidden somewhere in the car that produces clean and unfettered amplification. The entire system is controlled through a video screen in the center of the dash. Other components include a six-disc, trunk-mounted CD changer. Bass, treble, fade, balance, etc. It must have been a daunting task for the Bose engineers to come up with a sound system that would rival the fine pedigree of this luxurious automobile, but they've managed. The rear deck-mounted subwoofer produces accurate and tight bass, as good as any OEM system I've heard. As my notes say, "Bass is thunderous and subtly aggressive, without ever becoming overbearing. I had a little problem with the tweets, which to my ear sounded just slightly over-bright at high volume levels, producing a bit of rasp and hiss, but the good news here is that that brightness is well within operating tolerances and can be adjusted with the on-board tone controls. My notes say, "Female vocals and acoustic string instruments come through unsullied and clear, although slightly over-hot to this reviewer's ear. On the whole this is one fine audio system, wrapping you in elegant sound the same way the leather seats surround you in comfort. A few notes for Mercedes. The rear deck crackles a little on powerful bass notes and should be better sealed. Also, I found some of the controls confusing and difficult to use. Much of this confusion disappears after playing with the system for a while, but I still question some of the choices made by the designers. For instance, volume and seek controls are on rocker switches as opposed to round knobs, making for the occasional dicey driving decision. Give me a round knob any day. Also, some of the verification and "enter" functions, such as switching from radio to CD, or CD to tape, are cumbersome and hard to learn. These are minor complaints for a system that sounds as good as any factory install I've heard. It may not be the loudest system on the planet, but it oozes class and refinement. Other than a few minor ergonomic miscues, it's close to perfection. Give it a nine. Doing so could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

I've enjoyed this car for its handling and styling, but have experienced too many little problems, including a broken cup holder, and a "check engine" light that comes on for things the dealer says are minor, involving the evaporative system, but still take time to deal with and detract from the pleasure of ownership.
