Consumer Reviews for the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
Read recent reviews for the Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
Shocked (in a good way)
Mike Egan, 01/01/2020
2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class CLK430 2dr Coupe (4.3L 8cyl 5A)
I bought this car on the basis of it's looks and apparent condition from a dealer who had mixed reviews. I was shocked at the performance and condition of the car. The dealer did not misrepresent the car at all...the suspension needed some attention, the front bumper cover was cracked, but otherwise it drove really well. This car, which I bought in Florida, cost me a total of $6500 to … purchase, ship, replace (the perfectly good) Florida performance tires, with all new season MSR Continentals, new shocks (std. Mercedes recommended shocks),upper and lower ball joints (my choice.). They were not "shot" but i prefer to know what I am driving on, and a trans flush. Car now runs like new. Engine purrs (had 146,700 miles when purchased), and has true sports car performance.
I have owned eleven different Mercedes including (3) somewhat modified 16V Cossies, a 1990 500 SL,1 1982 450 SL, 1986 560 SL, 1989 300SE, 1977 230 SL, a 1993 500E (Mercedes claimed super-car from the 1990's, and often touted as one of if not the finest Mercedes ever built) and have driven many others of more recent vintage. I can honestly say this is the best driving handling factory stock Mercedes I have ever driven. Having had both a 500E (1993) and a 400E 1992, as well as the various SL's, this C class car blows them all away from the point of view of handling and power/performance. Any suggestion that the C series cars are inferior in handling to the E series suspended cars...is from the misinformed (at least based on the performance of this CLK Coupe). Based on the various reviews, I have seen on this model, it would seem the reliability of this car is well above the previous Mercedes standards I have enjoyed previously. (spoken from significant experience). In my opinion, this car is one of the greatest "sleepers" ever built.
