Overview & Reviews

The CLK430 Convertible debuts, reminding us, for a premium price, what a drop-top muscle car from the '70s was like. Turn-signal indicators have been added to exterior mirrors, stability control is standard on all models, automatics get TouchShift manual gear selection and TeleAid emergency cellular service is standard. A new instrument cluster and multifunction steering wheel are added, and buyers can opt for the confusing COMAND navigation/phone/trip computer/sound system. CLK320s benefit from exterior cosmetic changes including new wheels, while 430s are enhanced inside with new black bird's eye maple wood trim. Free maintenance for the duration of the warranty is now included.

• Solid and secure, smooth and speedy, sleek and sexy.

• Heavy steering, rough ride in CLK430, tiny back seat in convertibles.

  A Canadian view on a CLK320 convertible - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Canadian Summer - November 1 - 10:00 am

  The car cruises so well on the highway as I head west to Banff and Lake Louise. It is very quiet and handles so well, and it turns heads in the city. I have had the car for almost 3 and a half years and I drive it year round, even through our Canadian winters. The top is so well insulated that you have to remind yourself that you are in a convertible. With the top down, I have people at the cross walks, actually saying "nice car" as I drive by. I didnt expect all the attention in our city of almost 1 million people, but it is nice to know that I made a good vehicle choice when I special ordered this silver Mercedes.

  2000 CLK Cabrio - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

  Excellent quality & reliability without the body flex of most convertibles. Lively performance for a 6 cylinder. Rear seat is actually usable for passengers instead of just parcels.

  What a car! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By GregT - May 3 - 7:40 am

  I bought this with 95k miles for about $14k. Now it has 135k. It has been the best car I have ever owned. Fast, safe (a deer hit me and almost no damage), quiet and comfortable. I love it. From what I have read that other Benz are not as good. One thing to beware of. This is a benz and they are not cheap to maintain.

  Luv My Mercedes - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Jay Cutler - April 14 - 10:00 am

  Still gets praise for its beauty whenever its getting gas or valet parked. Only complaint is the occasional over bumps squeaks, coming from I suspect the convertible top and how it locks onto the frame (my wife insists the noise is from the dashboard). The car is still a dream and even my most obese non front seat passenger doesnt complain about room in the back . In fact it can take two not so big people fairly comfortably in the rear seat.

  My best investment yet! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By V Man - August 19 - 2:00 am

  This is an outstanding car. Ive had no problems with it. The ride is so smooth that I find myself constatly having to check the speedometer to see just how fast Im going due to being blown away by the smooth ride. For a 2000 model, its awesome!

  My Favorite Car - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Dave C. - November 20 - 12:26 am

  I have owned a LOT of cars (3 Mercedes) and this is my favorite out of all of them. I love the styling; it seems timeless. Exterior proportions are perfect, and quality is excellent. The interior is laid out perfectly, and the workmanship is Mercedes (i.e. the very best.) Handling is excellent, though a little heavy at low speeds. This car loves high speed cruising. The engine is super. Transmission is the best I have ever driven. Brakes & suspension are very good. Amazing sound system. So far, I have no unexpected maintenance issues (130K miles), but I am using a very small amount of oil. Not uncommon for mileage. Fuel consumption amazing: 31mpg highway, 26-27 average. Zero complaints.

  A satisfied CLK owner... - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Kevin - April 6 - 5:40 pm

  I feel very safe in the CLK320. Ive owned the car for 5 years and have approx 63,000 kms on it. My family of three fits well in the car. I am 62" and I have my seat all the way back, which makes it easy to reach back and put my young daughters seatbelt on. As she grows into her teens, we will probably go to the S class sedan.
