I have owned 3 other Mercedes & this is my favorite over my previous CL600. The understated styling & great performance are favorites. Handling is good for a heavier car but not in the Porsche range. Reliability has been good but one electrical problem which the dealer solved. This is my every day driver so I plan to put on a lot of miles & I keep my cars for several years. I purchased the extended warrantee based on my experience with my CL600. I would buy this car again & highly recommend it for performance, style & luxury, only I would get the voice activated controls, I miss the hands free calling on my previous CL600.

The CL55 is a supercar. It's dynamic performance matches that of a number of two seat sports cars that are widely considered supercars. Despite the performance capabilities, the car is quite comfortable and quiet. The Automatic Body Control is amazing, as are the brakes. The build quality is very good. My experience with the car has been entirely satisfactory.

It still continues to exceed my performance expectations and in my estimation is a stronger, beefier design than the 2007 model change.

So most of these are 100k plus car and they are good up to 500k without a rebuild on the motor. Awesome of course..the ride awesome of course...the electronic toys, definitely on the edge for the year they were built....okay heres the deal, incredible car, incredible suspension..ABC is wow...transmission is bullet proof to 200k, leaks at that point...but no rebuilt till 500k. If you do not work on your own car, stay away. The dealership will kill you. If you have a few tools and love to tinker, have a another car to drive to work...well this is the bomb car to beat up any corvette, and less car. Only a viper compares, and 0 to 60 viper is faster by 2 tenth of a second...the viper a pig and uneducated, the mercedes, well can we say quite refined...stay away from this car if dirty finger nail make you vomit....keep a toothbrush for your nails in the shower, and this car in the garage if you have the balls to have one....the ultimate mercedes, originally 120k car, it was and is worth the spend.
