Overview & Reviews

Only minor changes make their way into the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. All models get standard heated front seats and a glovebox-mounted six-CD changer. For 2009, a limited number of "Grand Edition" CLK350 coupes and cabriolets will be available, which feature 18-inch AMG wheels and AMG styling elements. The high-performance CLK63 AMG and last year's even quicker Black Series edition have been discontinued.

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

• More expensive than rivals, some subpar plastic trim, COMAND system can be confusing to operate.

  Back into a Mercedes again - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Bru - August 26 - 10:00 am

  Our last Mercedes was a 1996 C280 which we drove for 13 years, which was replaced by an Acura TSX. After seeing this beauty at the M-B dealer next door to Acura, three days later we traded in our 06 BMW 330ci convertible. After 6 months, we are very happy with the car overall, although in times where so much economic news is bad, you definitely feel the expense of owning a Mercedes. So far, three trips to the repair garage for minor glitches. First service appt. is $238 vs. $59 paid for our first Acura service. This car gets a ton of attention and compliments.

  Nothing but fun - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By DCM - March 1 - 1:10 pm

  Previous cars: Audis A4/6, Porsche Boxster S. I purchased a "Grand Edition" CLK 350 ,only 400 coupes imported. I wont see one on every corner. Grand comes with a host of sport items; suspension, 18 AMG wheels, Contisports 35/45, aero bodywork. It is set up more towards a sport tourer. I really liked the firm ride. not harsh though. It is much more of a drivers car than the audis and the interiors are very close in design and build quality. I have to say what really sold me were the looks. This is the last year for the CLK and quite frankly I do not like the new C/E classes. The interior is very well appointed. The grand has the chocolate with cream stitching.B MB logo on the brakes!

  Very happy CLK 350 cabriolet owner - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By ellefritz - October 23 - 4:55 am

  This is my first MB and Im in love; in fairness Ive owned mostly Toyotas and Hondas so its my first luxury ride but Im very impressed. After 6 months Ive had no mechanical issues (though my miles are very low). It looks great standing still and very very fun to drive. Wasnt sure how much Id use the convertible but I use it all the time, especially with the heated seats. I mostly drive in the city but am getting about 20 mpg combined city/highway.
