Sexy, Sleek and Powerful - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By ShannonWeller.com - October 2 - 10:00 amI absolutely LOVE driving my Black/Black CLK 430 CAB. I traded in my 02 996 Carrera Cabriolet and there is no comparison in terms of styling, quality, comfort, features and build quality for the amount of money spent. Porsche has gotten a little greedy at the cash register. My CLK Cab gets more play than any other car I have owned plus it is able to fit 3 girlfriends (slim ones!) and some luggage in the rear for short jaunts to Las Vegas.

Wonderful Car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By BCP - April 15 - 10:00 amThis is a great car! Fun to drive, lots of power and very smooth and quiet. Seems to be most happy at about 80 mph on the highway. Gets 29mpg at that speed. I am 64" tall and have no problem getting comfortable. Quality is very high although I have had some problems with interior rattles. The dealer took care of them at the first service. My only complaint is the door sills seem to get dirty very easily with scuff marks from my and my passengers shoes. I think it is related to the type of plastic that is used. Otherwise, I have no complaints and enthusiastically recommend this car.

02 430 CLK, , THE GOOD & THE BAD - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By dave caccamise - January 15 - 2:00 amOrdered the car and waited 6 months for delivery. Anticipation may have heightened my expectations. I was a little disappointed with the car but like it more the more I drive it. German quailty and engineering are good but too rigid for me. MBs are supponse to hold their resale value and Im hoping that it true.

02 CLK 430 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By Frankiev - January 13 - 12:26 amI am very impressed with this car. It is very quick (espcially at higher speeds/top end), tons of fun, and the maintenance thus far has been minimal. This car is a real head turner. Since I owned I had the following problems: Fog light out, Temp guage loose (warranty), rear window shade replaced (warranty), Moon Roof cover slider defective.

CLK55 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By mbenza - November 7 - 9:40 amInitial electrical problems with the interior operating components. The local dealer was more then helpful, always providing a loaner even though I did not buy it from them. After several visits, the dealer seems to have exorcised the electrical gremlins and the car is an absolute joy to drive. I can average 23 MPG if I drive at regular speeds. However, it is difficult to do that as this car constantly asks for more spirited driving and rewards you with a well balanced and stunning performance and , even with my driving style, still returns an average of 18MPG! I LOVE THIS CAR! I have a 2003 Corvette Z06 and did not drive it all summer because I would always turn to the Mercedes for driving.

2nd Owner - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By markgt350 - September 21 - 5:40 amI have always purchased low mile cars. When I purchased my CLK in September of 2009 from a So Cal MB it had 40K miles. In less than 2 years I added another 46K miles. I have had no issues with the car until. Unfortuneately the car was recently involved in an accident that left it totaled. I have had little luck locating a replacement w/low miles. I will continue my hunt.

League of its own - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
By BJrun88 - May 10 - 10:00 amMy first MB, and dealer told me this was a "Gentlemans Racer", which I originally though was kinda corny -- but now I know this is definitly the best way to describe the CLK430. After buying a new car every other year for the past 22 years...this is the first time I plan on keeping one -- theres nothing else on the road better under 100 grand -- that says its all. This is one great ride.
