Overview & Reviews

Only minor changes make their way into the 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class. All models get standard heated front seats and a glovebox-mounted six-CD changer. For 2009, a limited number of "Grand Edition" CLK350 coupes and cabriolets will be available, which feature 18-inch AMG wheels and AMG styling elements. The high-performance CLK63 AMG and last year's even quicker Black Series edition have been discontinued.

• Powerful engines, solid chassis, composed ride, comfortable front seats, fast power top operation in cabriolet.

• More expensive than rivals, some subpar plastic trim, COMAND system can be confusing to operate.

  Grand Touring at a fair price - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Dan - June 5 - 10:00 am

  Ive had the car for almost two months now. This is my second Mercedes and Im even more pleased with this car than i was my first (which was an E-class wagon). My car is steel gray/ stone, has the P3 package, the AMG appearance package, the huge wheels & AMG rims, and the sport-tuned suspension. It handles like a grand tourer and has the typical ride of a Benz, far smoother than most convertibles. I must say, this style has aged gracefully. Even after being around since 2004, the CLK cabrio looks clean and fresh. (Audi A5 looks more handsome, but this car has the better interior, MUCH better motor, and the better price). Its a great CPO deal. Better value than Audi A5 or BMW 6-series

  Nothing but fun - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By DCM - March 1 - 1:10 pm

  Previous cars: Audis A4/6, Porsche Boxster S. I purchased a "Grand Edition" CLK 350 ,only 400 coupes imported. I wont see one on every corner. Grand comes with a host of sport items; suspension, 18 AMG wheels, Contisports 35/45, aero bodywork. It is set up more towards a sport tourer. I really liked the firm ride. not harsh though. It is much more of a drivers car than the audis and the interiors are very close in design and build quality. I have to say what really sold me were the looks. This is the last year for the CLK and quite frankly I do not like the new C/E classes. The interior is very well appointed. The grand has the chocolate with cream stitching.B MB logo on the brakes!

  Very happy CLK 350 cabriolet owner - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By ellefritz - October 23 - 4:55 am

  This is my first MB and Im in love; in fairness Ive owned mostly Toyotas and Hondas so its my first luxury ride but Im very impressed. After 6 months Ive had no mechanical issues (though my miles are very low). It looks great standing still and very very fun to drive. Wasnt sure how much Id use the convertible but I use it all the time, especially with the heated seats. I mostly drive in the city but am getting about 20 mpg combined city/highway.

  Awesome car. Very sporty and fun to drive. Gas mileage seems to be fairly good so far for someone with a lead foot like me.

  Simply Gorgeous! - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By sqrl18 - December 15 - 7:00 pm

  I knew noting about this car, but fell in love with it instantly. The color is steel blue gray with stone interior. We didnt tint the windows, which kept it looking simply beautiful. Drove like a dream, but MB service was somewhat disappointing compared to other cars weve had. Two pet peeves: cup holder design is stupid and it was almost impossible to keep the kick area on the lower doors clean. Other than that, we loved this car. Sadly the car was totaled after 6 mo (someone ran a red light). Were heartbroken, but excellent safety design allowed us to walk away with only a slight sore neck that night. How do you value that? This car was priceless.

  Anniversary present - 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class
  By Melissa - July 26 - 3:10 pm

  A very well designed and quality built vehicle. I have had many cars, Hondas, Nissans, Lexus, Acura, Infinitis, and even an 02 Benz (honestly, we did not have a good experience, I was a little tentative to try again), this one thus far is proving to be number 1. The 5.5L V8 power in a vehicle its size is a lot of fun, the growl from the engine is impressive, you almost cant help but lead foot the gas pedal, because it is so smooth, very easy to drive. The weight and power combination of the vehicle is a true testament to Mercedes Benz engineering.
