  Mercedes CLK True owners Review - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Jack Arutyunyan - September 29 - 10:00 am

  Everything is great about this car, except there is no CD changer in it as a standard option. I think it is very cheap of Mercedes to do such a thing when Toyota Corollas already come with CD players. Even worse, it can only be a Mercedes Benz CD Changer since there are Fiber optic wires included. Retail will run anywhere from $700-$1200.

  Reviews are all over the map! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By E Versace - July 18 - 6:36 am

  I purchased this car used in 2006. It had about 41000 miles on it.It was a great car and the first owner really took care of it. I didnt purchase the extended warranty. The first year I drove it was great. Doesnt matter if youre young or old, people will turn their heads to see who is driving this car. I picked this car for the sleek yet muscular body style that the newer models do not have. My best friend went online after I got this car and purchased a certified MB CLK 430 as well, but he failed to realize that the heated seats and halogen headlights werent standard. The power of the 430 is amazing and often found myself flooring the gas pedal to feel the G force push lay me back.

  Great til something breaks! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Brigittetolson - February 4 - 5:10 pm

  When I first got Heidi (yes, I named my clk430 Heidi), I was in love. The way this car takes turns, accelerates, and performs overall is amazing. Then, at a mere 77,000 miles- stuff started to break...the convertible top computer went out all the time, and eventually died (1400$ part), the cats needed to be replaced (1000$)...then after all that, the trans started slipping...after getting multiple quotes to fix all the problems and replace the trans, I was looking at about 5000$ worth of repairs. I made the choice to trade her in for the Lamborghini inspired Toyota mr2 spyder. The opinion of many mechanics was that the clks trans tends to die at 80k miles. Way too soon in my opinion.

  The W208 CLK will prove to be a classic - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By mmgrad - December 30 - 2:00 am

  My 02 CLK just had its 1yr anniversary, and I must say I LOVE THE CAR. This is my first MB and probably wont be my last. Lots of power & comfort, very aggressive yet forgiving. Gas mileage is about the same as my V6 Accord. Safety & luxury features are in abundance. Everything is very ergonomically designed, and the infrared keys are the best. The pop-up trunk makes loading easy, and remote open/close windows and sunroof are nice. Engine noise is practically unheard of from the inside cabin (opposite of BMW). Acceleration & braking is very smooth (opposite of BMW).

  CLK 55 AMG CAB - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Mark/mdunahay - December 9 - 12:40 pm

  The car is clearly the best car I have driven. But... Mercedes has one problem with this vehicle... electronics! Intermittently(once every 3 weeks), the left channel of the stereo system goes out for some reason. Once you turn the car off and reset the computer, everything is fine. It also has stranded me once because of a full electronical system failure! If you could overlook that system failure & the annoying electronic glitch... it is an awsome car with stunning looks & power.

  Hoped for More - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By jmcculler - June 8 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Best Cabriolet on the Planet! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By A.K. - June 6 - 10:00 am

  I love this car. I only paid about 2000 in options, because almost everything is standard! It actually fitted a 6 guy in the back! Its safety rating is great, too! It never fails on me and its just the kind of cabriolet I like!
