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.

  Not a fine wine... - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By okedoke - March 15 - 4:43 am

  Bought the car used with 104K miles for my kid as I wanted her in a mini tank, along with traction and stab control, side airbags, etc. Just my luck, had to fix almost everything - brakes, rear deck leak, amplifiers, blown speakers, rear antenna, ball joints, dashboard digital metrics (outside temp, gear display, etc) shot, intermit wiper, etc. I think it also just sprung a leak somewhere up front on the passenger side, and I think I just lost the driver rear wheel bearings. Ive owned late model American and Asian based cars that never experienced as many problems as this little gem? Also - Bose radio sounds like crud, lots of static.

  Nice drive - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By carson - March 8 - 2:00 am

  This is a very luxurious sporty car and fun to drive. It will get you a lot of looks. It is very comfortable and the amenities are very useful and well positioned. The throttle lag takes a bit of getting used to and the car feels a bit heavy. However the V8 is generally smooth and sounds great. The AMG55 might be just the ticket but for pure driving pleasure I would pick a slightly smaller / lighter body.

  A Disappointment - 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By adodger - November 27 - 2:00 am

  I am a Mercedes aficionado but I am truly appalled by the string of quality issues that have arisen since I obtained my CLK 320 coupe 3 years ago. While I have not had any major problems (engine, transmission etc.), a string of nuisance issues have left me wondering why I dont take an office at the dealership since I have cause to go there every other month with a problem. My list of problems include constantly burning bulbs, several false negative malfunctions on the dashboard display, power windows that sometimes have a mind of their own. All these issues as well as a disappointing stereo system have me seriously considering a switch to oh no!, yes! BMW!
