  A fun car to drive - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Prolongo - May 25 - 2:00 am

  I dont think it is particularly "flashy" from the outside but it just takes a quick drive to find out just how much fun this car is. Although it takes premium gas, my overall after 6500 miles per the cars computer is 24.5 miles per gallon. On a recent trip I averaged 30 mpg! A added bonus I didnt expect. The only down side of this car is the seats are un- comfortable and the adjustments are few unless you have some special added package that I dont have. Get rid of the heated seats and put in adjustments to make it more comfortable. That is my opinion.

  I LOVE my New Used Car!!! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Shaqsgirl - April 27 - 4:53 pm

  I purchased this vehicle used after totaling my 1998 C class. I love it! I picked this year specifically because of the body style. I prefer this style to the newer models which are much smaller. So far Ive had no problems thanks to the former owner, who took such good care of it! I love the color (BLACK OPAL). It is a real head turner.

  Excellent Drive ....Terrible Reliability - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By catherine nicholas - March 3 - 10:00 am

  On performance I give it very high marks. However, mercedes cuts corners on quality. This is my second CLK. My first was plaqued with problems ranging from engine trouble (random stalling)to window failure. In fact, I couldnt sell it because mercedes couldnt not get the "check engine" light to go out. I was forced to trade it in. My second CLK has had one problem after another ranging from not starting, to seat controls, to air conditioning..the list goes on. The wood grain bleeds into the leather on the doors. Dont order the hands free phone. 50% of the time the car doesnt recognize the phone is plugged in and you are forced to pull over to reset the engine. Bad sound quality also

  Beautiful Car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Nittany - January 19 - 8:03 am

  This is easily the best car Ive ever driven or owned. I drove evrything from 330cics to Audi 4s, BMW 645, Saab, Volvo and nothing comes close to the ride, performance, driving experience and fun that this car has. Smooth as silk, but if you want acceleration it sure responds.

  CLK430-The Premium Coupe to Own - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By SoCalCLK - October 17 - 2:00 am

  Let me go on record by saying that I have owned a 95 BMW M3 and 01 330ci & these editors dont know what theyre talking about. After having owned 2 BMWs, I saw BMW was closer to an Acura than a Mercedes. When I left BMW behind and bought a CLK 430 I saw has the power, features, looks, handling, and quality that as a WHOLE make it cut above ANY coupe from BMW. These editors do not understand this as they have never personally owned these cars. When I test drove and priced out that Honda Civic Look alike- the 330ci, I was shocked to see that they were charging $42K for a $34K car. Audi makes a better product called the S4 at these prices.

  Perfect Car - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By trd277 - September 30 - 2:00 am

  Best of all worlds! Incredibly fast, amazingly comfortable and beautiful too. Best car I have ever owned. Cruise comfortably or light up the tires and slide around the corner. You will not regret this purchase.

  Still gets looks - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By catscann2004 - August 5 - 8:50 am

  This is the first Mercedes Ive purchased. I will not settle for less (I since purchased an M-Class then an R-Class for my wife). The handling is great and the top is easy to work (the next year Mercedes make the top fully automatic). I would recommend the CLK to any person that enjoys the being out and about. The trips to Las Vegas make this ride a must! Just wish that bluetooth was readily available in 2002.

  Rag top in the snow belt - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Skaneateles, NY - May 18 - 2:06 am

  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.

  Exceptional Vehicle - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Eddie C - April 6 - 2:00 am

  This is perhaps one of the best vehicles I have ever driven. My only complaint is the electronics. My passenger seat got stuck and the convertible top also got stuck. I had to reset the computer at the dealership to handle this problem. Other than that this car is exceptionally awesome! Super fast and really classy.

  Its all about the hoursepower - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Walter - December 11 - 4:50 am

  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.
