This Year's Model Updates:

After last year's revamping of the CLK coupe, the convertible (Cabriolet) follows suit this year, sporting the same sleeker body style, along with a soft top that boasts greater outward visibility than before as well as key fob-operated usability.

Pros:
  • Sleek styling, solid chassis, composed ride, comfortable front seats, fast power top operation in Cabriolet.
Cons:

  • Awfully NICE! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    This V8 powered luxury coupe is a blast. Rockets to cruising speed and handles and brakes with solid confidence. Not up to BMW standards of drivability and certainly not your BORING Japanesse softness, so a great compromise between performance and luxury. It IS a Mercedes so a great ride..plus the dealer was willing to deal! Not the take it or leave it BMW attitude. I have owned several but they lost me this time.

  • Beautiful Convertible Mercy 04 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    Thought I had a transmission problem so I bought a transmission-it wasnt a transmission problem so I have a extra transmission to go with the car It was a simple reset of something. But it does need some Struts. We still drive it & Love it but now we have 4 Granddaughters & we cant all go & no one eats to be left out. They all want to go

  • Wonderful! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    This car brings back the joy in everyday life. It is sporty but luxurious. The ride is smooth, the sound system is rich and clear. The V8 engine is quiet and yet strong. The seats and in interior are comfortable with plenty of comfortable room for 4. The convertible tob is lined giving a quiet ride when the top is on. it makes any trip out a pleasure.

  • My previous car was a BMW 325 conv. - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    but I dont miss it. The CLK convertible is better (but the 325 cheaper ;-). I actually like the fact that it comes with casssette as standard, so I can connect my ipod (which wasnt possible in the 325). If there is anything I dont like, then it is the trunk, apparently there is no way of closing it without touching the car on the outside ... Next time I would pay for the "elecronic trunk closer" option (490$)

  • Truly Outstanding! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    What an elegant yet sporty vehicle! It drives like a dream and is such a head- turner. I think the appearance package is a must as is the burl walnut steering wheel. The wheel coordinates nicely with the walnut interior. Its a fantastic lovely convertible; much nicer than all of the others out there!! I rarely drive anywhere without someone commenting on its loveliness!

  • Overpriced poor body design - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    This car is at least 20K over priced and the body style looks like a mercury topaz.

  • after 5 years and 50k miles - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    I bought the car with 6k miles on it. I am still amazed with car after 5 years, the way it obeys drivers command. Body style is great. Only changes made to this car are 20inch giovanni rims which makes it look even greater.I heard complain about having one cup holder only. There are actually two cup holders. I own four different vehicles and believe if you keep up with the maintanance and make small changes technology wise to your car, it will give you years of enjoyment, specialy to clk500

  • A Styling Classic - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Among the earliest CLK 500 Cabrios shipped. Superb styling and remarkable acceleration with pedal to floor. Also drive a 67 427 stick Vette so I speak with some authority. Minor problems with drivers seat belt "presentor". Early navigation system difficult to use, improved later in year but dash/wood/knob styling looks much better than improved GPS version. Whats more important? Im a style geek. Gas mileage seems poor to some because take is small! Get 23-25 on highway, 17-18 city driving. Top operation slick. Hard to understand why anyone could not love this car. Still get many great comments into 5th year. Wish it ran on regular gas! More power not essential with this car.

  • Outstanding!!! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Had the car for about 15 months now and reliability has been excellent! Second Benz in a row I have owned. This is a great car, fun to drive with windows down and a attention getter!

  • Black CLK 320 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Styling of the black interior and exterior of our CLK coupe is what determined our buy, plus the good over all experience of the l998 E 320 sedan we turned in with excellent engine and ride performance. I do wish the doors had a more solid feel when shut on the CLK
