Overview & Reviews

Last year's Mercedes CLK320 gets a new 3.5-liter V6 for 2006 and is subsequently renamed the CLK350. New 17-inch alloy wheels and a seven-speed automatic transmission are also part of the upgrade. The more powerful CLK500 has a sportier interior this year, as well as an AMG-sourced exhaust. Finally, all 2006 CLKs have new active head restraints and a new grille and taillights.

• Powerful engines, solid chassis, composed ride, comfortable front seats, fast power top operation in Cabriolet.

• High price, some subpar plastic trim, a few hard-to-use controls.

  Absolutely flawless - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Stan Silverman - August 13 - 11:30 pm

  What more could you want? Its so beautiful that it draws a crowd in parking lots. Its as quiet and comfortable as a sedan with the roof closed. The interior is gorgeous. The new cup holders remove all complaints of the old ones. The performance is more than adequate. While I would have liked some of the added features of the CLK500, I dont feel its additional power is worth the price difference, or is needed. And the AMG version? Why?

  Benz CLK350 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By D GIbbs - July 22 - 6:50 pm

  This is my first Benz and I wish I would have purchased one sooner. I have had BMWs and the Benz is by far a better built automobile.

  Great car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By David - April 29 - 3:43 pm

  I leased an 06 CLK350 in 2/06 and love it. Looks great, fun to drive, comfortable and quiet. The engine is wonderful and powerful. Save the money on the 5.0. Over the last 1,000 miles I have averaged 27mpg. Mine is black on black and turns heads all the time. Came with the iPod so no longer need CDs. I traded in an 04 S500 and I like the CLK better.

  From One Black Beauty to Another - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By hazellocks - September 19 - 11:43 am

  With a child in college, Id planned to drive my 97 Lexus ES300 until it died. Sure, it was a bit long in the tooth, but it worked just fine. Until it died. Suddenly. Irrevocably. In my neck of the woods, Lexus rules; Beemers are well-represented, too. I was loyal to Lexus, but in my heart of hearts, I wanted an MBz. A good friend and private dealer found my new baby. At first sight, it was so beautiful, I was afraid to drive it. It was too fancy, too ostentatious, too TOO. Took about a week to get over it. I am in love. Smitten. Besotted to the point of purchasing a custom cover to minimize sun damage (blk ext, no tinted windows, hot sun, all that leather). Co-workers tease, but thats OK!

  Love this car! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By mbzlvr - August 23 - 4:43 pm

  Purchased first as lease when new. Bought out the lease. Just love this car. Great power for a V6 and average 32mpg on the highway. Never have had any issues whatsoever. Great customer service during regular scheduled maintenance. Even got a loaner car every time! So much fun to drive and going topless is pure joy. I will definitely buy another MB.

  Nice to look at, thats where it ends - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By dan - August 2 - 11:23 pm

  So far it has been in service more than on the road . If you purchase this vehicle, be prepared for tears in the roof liner around the rear window. Also be prepared for a rough idle no matter what they do. Bad gas mileage . Overall fair build quality

  Best Car Purchase - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Scott Woodward - July 27 - 11:16 am

  I previously owned an SLK 320, but wanted more room and luxury without sacrificing fun and performance. This car is the perfect answer. The only trip to the dealer so far was to remedy an electrical connector on the transmission and replace the CD player. Pleasantly surprised at delivery to find the newer console with two additional cup holders. Comfortable seats, and interior fit and finish is first rate. With the roof up there is good visibility, and it is surprisingly quiet. Absolutely fun to drive and easy on the eyes. This one is a keeper.

  Terrific Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Rich Hanson - May 7 - 9:56 pm

  This is my 3rd Mercedes (98 C230, 02 C320) and the best car Ive ever owned, besting 4 BMWs, a SAAB and a Volvo. It is extremely comfortable, especially with the Comfort Package seats. Controls, while still over-engineered, are easier to use than the 02 C320. Handling is great, and performance is just fine. $7,000 for the V-8 is a waste of money.
