Overview & Reviews

This year the CLK's standard eight-speaker Bose audio system is scrapped in favor of a 10-speaker Harman Kardon unit, while the navigation system is now DVD-based. The 320 model gets upgraded standard wheels, and offers a lighting package with foglights that illuminate with the turn signals, or when the steering wheel is turned. The 500's five-speed automatic is replaced with a new seven-speed unit with steering wheel shift controls. Also, ventilated front seats are now optional. The complimentary scheduled maintenance program has been dropped for 2005.

• Solid chassis, composed ride, comfortable front seats, fast power top operation in Cabriolet.

• High price, some subpar plastic trim, a few hard-to-use controls.

  Love it - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Phyllis - March 7 - 1:20 pm

  This is my 4th CLK. Loved them all. Holds the road great. The new cupholder I prefer, however, I do hear complaints that there is a need for two. A tire inflation monitor would be helpful. So as you can see, dont have any complaints.

  Great fun, and solid - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By sark - February 19 - 12:33 pm

  The car is really a gem and fun to drive. I have been a bit dissapointed by the little things that went wrong. The seat belt assist mechanism, the cheap center console and an alarm that had a mind of its own until the dealer fixed it. I paid sticker so I guess I expected closer to perfect. However, top down with the wife and kids is a blast and its my favorite car in the sector.

  Almost Perfect - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Carolyn Volatile - February 16 - 6:33 am

  The cup holder still a joke and it could use more power, but other than that, a thrill to drive. Great handling, styling and reliability

  An incredible means of transportation - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Stevephils - December 25 - 10:00 am

  Impressive performance from 5 liter V8; steering wheel gear shifters (7 speeds) are very cool. Excellent design and finish. A real head turner. Perfect means of transportation in South Florida.

  Unique classy ride - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By dtam - October 16 - 4:33 am

  This is a beautiful car, it gets looks wherever I go. The interior is functional andclassy. The head room is excellent (Im 61"). I was surprised with the amount of rear leg room, I am comfortable riding back there (when my wife insistn on driving). The top is great and easy to use, I have opened it while sitting in traffic, I was so quick,I didnt get beeped at. Quality of construction seem excellent, I beleve Mercedes is back. The stereo is excellent, one of the best I have heard in a car. The engine and transmission are smooth, quiet and responsive. Handles great. The 3.2l has is road tested and should be very reliable. Upgrade seats work well epecially cooling.

  A little disappointed - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Nathan B. - September 2 - 12:03 am

  We searched forever for the perfect family convertible and wanted the class that Mercedes could offer. This was my first Mercedes purchase. This car is only driven on the weekends and only has about 1500 miles since purchase four months ago. Within 500 miles we developed a huge rattle under the car. Took it in and it was fixed right away. A bolt was missing from the exhaust system (never installed according to the dealer). Now at 1500 miles we have to have something in the front steering replaced because it has a leak. The part is 4-5 weeks out and we have to bring the car back in again. As far as driving it; I love it. It is a beautiful car and drives nice (when its not in the shop).

  Love It - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Walter Silverstein - August 4 - 6:03 am

  The car looks and runs great. It is a pleasure to drive. This is my 16th Benz, and they are still great. I also have a BMW 745IL, but enjoy the Benz much more.

  CLK320- a sporty luxury car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By ajb723 - June 9 - 5:00 am

  I have had my CLK320 coupe for 2 months, replacing a BMW330i. I was hesitant to make the change, but Im glad I did. The 320 is much better looking, both inside and out, and the navigation system is a bonus. It is fun, easy to use, and frightening in its accuracy. Acceleration seems not up to the BMW, but is more than adequate for my needs.

  Great car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By arturo - April 10 - 4:10 am

  The CLK 320 coupe is great. I love the car and have enjoyed it from the moment I bought it. I took it up to Mendocino and it took the ride like a pro. The twists and turns on the ride were a breeze.
