    Its fun to drive but disappointed with the problems I am having. I hit 50,000 miles a few months ago and have had one problem after another; the engine fan completely went, the catalyst converter is coming apart, and the lights (parklights, headlights, tail lights, etc.) must be replaced every other month.

  • Rag top in the snow belt - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    A great year-round car. With snows on in winter drivability is excellent - we get 100" of snow a year. The top is very well insulated & quiet. On any sunny day above 55 degrees I have the top down. The wind screen does a great job of keeping the cabin serene and the heated seats keep you warm, that way you can focus on the excellent exhaust note. Mileage is good at 24MPG and 27MPG highway. This is a cruiser-not a sports car. Performance is adequate, not stellar. High speed cruising is addictive and one can blast to high speed and beyond without realizing it, even with the top down - Its that well designed. I targeted this car specifically over the new model as this one is designed by Bruno Sacco.

  • Its all about the hoursepower - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    This is the most fun car Ive ever driven. When I went to trade in my 911 Porsche for a more practical car, I thought I would have to say good-bye to speed. This car effortlessly leaves everyone else in my dust. My office is next to an exotic car dealership. I love the looks of people who just plunked down over $100K, and didnt get nearly the car I did. This car never breaks a sweat as you go from a stop to highway speeds in a blink of an eye.

  • Mid-life refresher - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    The CLK320 Cabriolet is truly a fun car to drive and a head turner even in a crowd of Benzs, BMWs, Caddies, et al. There are a few weaknesses though in the clunky suspension and lack of steering feedback. As I tell my son, its a luxury car not a sports car speedster. For class, style, and practicality I dont think theres anything on the market even close, although reviews that say it seats 4 adults "comfortably" must be based on the opinion of some small folks. You can get 4 in, but nobody is very comfortable. Engine is strong, even if not real quick off the line and the highway ride is dangerously smooth - 100mph creeps up on you easily. If youre looking at this car - BUY IT - you wont be sorry!
