CLK 430

by fivefeet
Jul 13 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: speed, safety, style
Cons: none that I know of


I recently purchased a black on black CLK 430. It is a V8 engine, with 275 horsepower. To be honest, it is a perfect automobile. The strength of the engine is evident at all speeds, coming off the line at a red light and cruising in the left...

Mercedes has amazing service - if you fight for it.

Mar 28 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Awesome company, car is second to none.
Cons: not cheap, some issues with electrical systems

Mercedes Benz is amazing for their service, right? That's what I thought and that's why when I fell in love with the CLK 320 at first sight, I never worried about getting one. I'm young, haven't bought a car before, so being my first I was at least...

super safe (personal experience), oh so smooth

by campwt00
Feb 29 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: safe, smooth, powerful, agile
Cons: blind spot

The CLK is a super fun car to drive. It has all the feel and ride of one of the big Mercedes-Benz but in a little package. It is extremely safe, too. My significant other owns one and was in a car wreck last year that left her car totaled. In fact,...

My CLK is my prize

by Samiben
Dec 17 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable ride, great acceleration and wonderful esthetics.
Cons: a bit pricey and only comes in automatic.

I have never been happier with a purchase as I am with my CLK 320. After thorough research I set my mind on the CLK and I was right... The car is a beauty, handles perfect and is not shy on the road. It picks up vigorously and hugs the road with command....

I'm a believer

by lennye
Dec 16 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, easy to operate, great convertible top
Cons: None that I can really complain about

After driving an SL for 30 years Mercedes finally produced a 4 place vehicle that provides adequate room for the taller driver (me), and allows you to add two in the back for a short trip, and did not give me sticker shock after the purchase. Aside from...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes

In January, 1999, I decided to purchase a new car, after nine (9) years. In that I live in New York city, and infrequently use my car, I did not know what to select. I went to the Mercedes dealer, and, selected the CLK 430. Love at first site, and,...

CLK Cabriolet = Fun for four

by dchang
Oct 07 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: fun, sexy, stylish, not killer expensive
Cons: trunk is small with top down

The CLK Cabriolet is truly a Mercedes and truly a convertible. It is stylish, powerful, luxurious, and pretentious enough to be a Mercedes. The mostly-automated convertible top and seating for four make the CLK Cabriolet a fun vehicle for a summery...

Heaven--almost

by lipsett
Dec 14 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfort, looks, sound system
Cons: Headlights not automatic

My 1999 CLK convertible is now 8 months old and I still love it. First, it is not a sports car (which I had for the past 14 years), so it does not handle, especially on curves, like one. That takes getting used to, but is easily learned. The good: the...

Fly in the Ointment

by mephistopheles
Oct 12 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: styling, engine
Cons: transmission, build quality

I bought this car instead of a 540i six speed. My reasons were simple:

1. The styling is in my epinion (ha), better than that of the 540i which in 1999 sported styling several model years old.
2. The Mercedes is a coupe, which I feel is...

A "TOY"
by jz5110  
Sep 27 '06 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Fast, Comfortable, Classy, Stylish and excellent on gas.
Cons: Oil change pricing over $100.00, High maintanance fees!
The car is a great car to have. I have owned super fast sports cars and this coupe is no where near comparable (In a good way!). It has tremendouse handleling, great pick up, awesome top end, very safe and idiot proof! The gadjets in the car are wonderful and i am still learning and discovering new stuff to play with in it. The way it runs is incredible, example: I have ran it with different sports cars to find out its capabilities and the thing is unbelievably fast. I have won the most unexpected races (running for fun once in a blue moon because that is not what i use it for). The styling turns massive amounts of heads and the girls dig it a lot! The car is a monster underneath a beautiful shell. Don't let the quiet look fool you!!!!!

A real piece of junk!
by analintruder  
May 02 '04 
Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 1.0 Recommended: No 
Pros: Beautiful car
Cons: Terrible in terms of reliability
Never before have I ever gone through
the headaches of car ownership than I
have with this car. In the shop 9
times within 1 year: 90% complete
engine overhaul after hearing sickening
loud metallic hammering, dead fuel pump
upon starting car on the morning of an
international flight, embarrassing loud
squeaky frame, very loud tapping
from "normal" vapor removal pump,
metallic squeak from brakes first two
months of ownership, obvious vibrations
behind temperature control console, the
occasional slamming into 2nd gear..et
al. Mercedes reps from dealer to CEO
Halata refuse to take responsibility
for their hugely sub-par product.
