This Year's Model Updates:

These guys are still on a roll. Last year, Mercedes introduced an all-new sport coupe that is an amalgamation of C- and SLK-Class technologies, available this year with a larger engine in the CLK 430 model, and now they're rolling out the CLK 320 Cabriolet, a convertible version of the fabulous little car.

Pros:
  • Luxurious, athletic and strikingly handsome.
Cons:

  • Best Car for When Kids Move Out - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

  • Great fun to drive car - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    I bought this car about a year and a half ago and have loved driving it. It is a great strong car that always has a little more power when you need it. It is a solid car that continues to impress me. Things do break on the car but it seems to have a backup for everything. The sunroof sometimes stops but pressing the button in a different direction makes it work, then works later just fine. I also had a crankshaft sensor malfunction but was less than 150 dollars to fix. So far great luck with the car and it still looks brand new.

    Initial pickup not like BMW or CLK 430, but once moving over 60 this car rocks (hint - dont use overdrive).

    The purchase of the MB 320 SLK was the result of my wifes refusal of the offer of a Porsche Boxter, a decision we have not regretted. Although a six cylinder model we have been impressed with the acceleration and handling and its appearance draws attention.

  • I love this Car!!! - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    I simply love getting into this car every day. The only problem that I have had with it is warping of my rotors (The first three months I always had my foot Way in it) The accelleration is outstanding and it handles well for a 5k lb car. I love the throaty sound of the 4.3 litre V8. I would highly recomend this car to anyone.

  • 15 going on 30--A future classic - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    I picked up my 99 CLK 430 for a song...and at 131,000 miles it runs and drives like new. The interior is flawless, leather seats show no wear and tear whatsoever. Power to spare, which is very evident when pulling onto an interstate vs my prior car, a V6 Accord. However, the Accords ride was far better, the trade-off of a drivers car. It is, however, much quieter and despite being 9 years older, feels more solid and well-built (its German-built, mine has AMG trim) than the Accord. Now the rest of the story--its a salvage car, was in an accident that took out the drivers side front fender and bumper. Was repaired and cannot tell it was ever touched, no consequences are evident.

    Wonderful car, very smooth, quite fast. I upgraded to 17" AMG wheels, same as a CLK430 and this improved the appearance and the handling. The headliner had to be replaced to correct moonroof noise problems.

  • MBenz 430 CLK - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Fun car to drive, but maintenance issues continue to dog it; a refelciton of MBenzs increased model line and production I suspect. Poor choic eo Michelin Pilot on 18" wheels; Ive had to replace six tires in less than two years for wear (at 43K miles?), and for punctures that were not fixable due to the low aspect ratio. Gets expensive at $340/tire... Also had relaibility problems (and dealer problems at MBenz in Pleasanton) for rain sensing windshield, broken sunroof switch, broken climate contorl fan, and broken gas gauge. Sure is great to drive and handles very well at high speed, but cost/mile is very high.

  • Believe the Hype. - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    I purchased my CLK 430 last February when it had roughly 37k on the odometer. I have placed about 6k on it since and have had absolutely no problems at all. The vehicle was a Starmark Certified Pre-owned car, which may be why I havent had any trouble. The previous driver had leased it and told me he had it in for unscheduled service on two occasions, both minor.

  • CLK 320 Coupe - 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Ive had the car for over three years = I bought it out of a lease. It looks and drives great. Not as sporty a ride as some other coupes available, especially accelerating from low speed, but its great for highway driving. It runs smoothly and quiet at high speeds. Steering is precise, though not as sharp as a Porsche. The interior has held up very well despite extensive use, and the exterior look of the car is aging well.
