Overview & Reviews
The big changes for 2007 are under the hood of the V8 models. The CLK500 becomes the CLK550 via a larger V8. It delivers 382 horsepower, a full 80 more hp than last year. Similarly, the AMG version of the CLK convertible gets more muscle-bound, becoming the CLK63 and boasting 475 hp, a 113-hp increase. In less exciting news, the V6 version, the CLK350, gets a new optional Sports Appearance package.
- Powerful engines, solid chassis, composed ride, comfortable front seats, fast power top operation in Cabriolet.
- High price, some subpar plastic trim, a few quirky controls.

Wonderfully Powerful 550!! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By B1Mario - April 11 - 11:36 amBought a certified CLK550 Coupe with all the options a few months ago. Absolutely love the car, great power, decent handling and nice interior. Came from an 01 Corvette and the CLK550 is every bit its equal in power. Handling is a little on the softer side but much easier to live with every day. Drove 06 M3 and 08 335 before choosing the CLK. Basically went on features and power the BMWs could hold up. 335 might have a little more speed here at altitude (CO - 6000) due to the turbos; but overall like the CLK much better and am very happy with my choice.

Good by 996/997 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By kevin - January 22 - 3:23 amI love this car. Candidates: M3, 911, S4. The highway is not a race track. No do I have to endure the harshness of my 996 to have neck breaking speed and a boat load of "cool factor". This thing is a serious wolf in sheeps clothing. The power, torque and hp, is amazing. The ride is plush, more body roll than my Porsche and BMW, even with the sport suspension, but I got over it quick enough. It is still well composed in the twisties. I am waiting for my H&R lowering springs to arrive and for $600 the body roll be gone. Cops dont even notice it. Great car! Of course it eats tires and gas, but a car with 386 ft #s of torque should!

Love My CLK! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By lovemyclk1 - August 24 - 8:49 pmMy 2007 Benz CLK 350 has been an awesome car! Very dependable and reliable! No complaints here! Well, maybe wish it had a bigger back seat....then I guess I should have bought a 4 door sedan then! No! I am very happy and highly recommend the CLK! I have seen many negative remarks about this car but if you research all cars no matter the brand you will find flaws and defects with all makes and models including the BMW brand etc. Also, the Mercedes is so much cheaper to maintain than the Beamer, I know first hand experience! :) on this one!

Incredible - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By Fastunlimited - August 17 - 3:40 pmWe have owned everything from Porches, BMWs, Mercedes, and Corvettes and this is by far the best car. The combination of power and luxury is unbeatable. The looks of this car are stunning with the AMG package. Not to mention a hand-built engine that is to die for. The price for this car is a little on the high side for the market but in comparison to the M6, it is an overall better car. Highly recommend for any high performance car enthusiast, it will be a nice treat.

550 Cabriolet review - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By jb from san diego - December 19 - 1:40 pmThis car is beautifully styled and lots of pep. The older models had a blind spot on the rear passenger side. There is great visibility with this model.

Underrated - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

Luxury and performance - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By simon - February 19 - 6:50 pmSo far this is a pretty rare car on the road probably because its so highly priced yet not so flashy. Ive owned this car for two weeks and put on about 900 miles. The acceleration/power is breathtaking and makes me smile every time I drive this car. The suspension is soft enough to ride comfortably in NYC. And very quiet! I love everything about this car!

CLK550: Use EDP to drive it on Autobahn! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By No Tickets Yet - August 9 - 11:20 amIf you get a CLK550 Cabriolet, the sport suspension option is a must have. Had mine trucked down to N. Cal. from Wash. State, since it was only one in Western USA with sport suspension (for me), run flats (for wife), backseat side airbags (for son), and P3 option (best front seats). It has every opt. except power trunk closer. This is the best Mercedes Ive every owned, and been loyal customer since bought 380 SL in 1982! Solid build, no problems, performs better than last years AMG model for $20K less, quiet with the top up. 0-60 mph on mine is much faster than 5.1 sec. spec. It can go 65+ on 25mph curved exit w/o ESC. Wish I could take it to Germany and drive it on the Autobahn!
