  • A great car to drive - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Ive had convertibles for the last 30 years. This is by far the most fun to drive. The trunk is very small, but who cares. If you have golf clubs, throw them in the back seat. However, as other people have noted, the electrical systems leave a lot to be desired.

    This is my second CLK, I purchased a CLK 320 in March 00 and was very happy with the veh. I traded the 320 for CLK 430 in June02 The 430 is so much more responsive and powerful. Ive own other sports cars in the past and I would place the 430 at the head of the class. It affords me a level of expected quality and pestige that only MB can coupled with the fun of driving a true sports car.

    Cant see out of car with top up. Too many blind spots. Would never buy another one. Seats uncomfortable.

  • All good things come to those who wait - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    Ive wanted a Benz convertable for the longest time and in 2001 my dream came true. I had to wait nearly a year before it arrived at my dealer, but it was so worth it. This car drives great. I took it down the Coast Highway last summer and had a blast. The car is a real eye catcher too. I get compliments on it every time I take it out. Its also very quiet with the top up, even though thats not often for me. The seats are very comfortable too, its been to LA and back a few times. In a few years Ill seriously look into an SL-Class.

    Had this car for about two weeks. The 3.2 engine is plenty powerful! It also rides smoother and quieter than the 4.3

    This automobile is a mechanical nightmare. I have replaced: two catalytic converters, electric motor in drivers seat (2 times), pressure sensor in the fuel tank, CD changer, one motor mount and now it is having electrical problems with the braking system. However, I love the drive and the styling. Unfortunately, with all the problems the bloom is off of the rose!

  • Best combo of comfort and speed! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    This car has been great. We picked it up in July, and have had it for a month now! Bought it with just over 20k miles, for under $40 grand! Amazing of fthe line, the best handling Ive ever experienced, and great build quality! You cant beat it for the price nor the speed!

  • Speedy and Classy - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class

    My dad got this car earlier this year and I think its quite ugly. But, the performance is superb. It is also very well made and fun to drive, as well as comfortable.

  • My best car yet - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    Excellent value for a lease. Excellent performer, even for a 6 cylinder, on the highway. Tight and precise on local roads. The car is flawless. I only wish I got the convertible.

  • I Love My Benz! - 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
    By -

    I purchased my CLK320 after looking at the 300 series BMWs, the "baby Lincoln", and a 99 CLK. I have never regretted my decision to go ahead and buy (at a non-discounted price!). I drive R/T either DC-Bowling Green (KY), Bowling Green-Louisville, Bowling Green-Chicago, or Bowling Green-Jacksonville (FL) at least once a month and enjoy every mile. If I could change one thing with my CLK, it would be to incorporate a CD/tape player with the CD holder in the trunk. I have found 2 minor annoyances: one with the light electrical system...Ive had four blown bulbs in 4 years. The other is the rear window screen. Over time it does not retract properly. A happy CLK driver.
