The CLS is an all-new sedan in Mercedes' lineup for 2006.

• Sharp and sexy exterior design, handles like a much smaller car, smooth V8.

• Sleek lines make getting in back a little awkward, complicated control interface.

  Fabulous! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class

  Other than the windows being a little small, this car is perfect. The interior is the best Ive seen. I get all kinds of looks and comments on it. Very fun!

  The Perfect Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By expertowner - July 28 - 5:23 am

  I had heard that this car was not very well received. To look at it I found it hard to believe. I test drove it, and fell hard. While it could be a problem for 6ft 5 inch people in the back seat, there simply is nothing bad that can be said about this vehicle. The looks are stunning, the ride is silk lightning, and everything about it says....THE PERFECT CAR. I hope that Mercedes realizes what they have accomplished. They have taken back the lead from BMW with one quick stroke of genius. If you are looking for the perfect car, and are able to spend 75k, you cannot find anything better.

  Experience and Love - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Chris Lochmann - July 14 - 9:43 am

  It took only a trip around the block to realize that this car has the true response of a sports car, but the comfort of a sedan. The size is very adequate for taller people such as we are, but it manuevers with the response of a two seater roadster. We just LOVE IT.

  A Truly Dream Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Donald Ray - November 19 - 6:56 pm

  From the first day I took delivery, this car turns heads wherever I go. It has style and grace and is a true joy to drive. Worth every penny of the price. I have had three Mercedes in the past (450 SL, 300 D, 380SE) and this one is the best. It is a 4 door sports car. Handles better than my former C5 Corvette.

  Former S Class owner - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Bob V - October 15 - 5:50 am

  I loved the S 430 I owned prior to trading for the CLS 500. I seldom had rear seat passengers, and wanted the comfort and performance of the S class. The CLS fit the bill perfectly. Great performance and handling, and a styling "tour de force." Highly recommend the car, but refrain if you have frequent need of rear seats for passengers. Space and comfort is OK, but entry and exit is challenging. Overall I give the car a 8 out of 10.

  Best New Mecedes in Years - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Zuben - October 9 - 4:50 pm

  I have never owned a vehicle that turns more heads than the CLS500. With its "E" class trunk and relatively long legs for a V8, it is a perfect blend as a true road trip car. Comfort, ease of operation (Unlike my previous BMW I Drive that took a computer programer just to go to the gas station) I opted for the NAV, Satellite radio and Tele-aid, all of which opertate perfectly and are very logically user friendly.

  Best Ever - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By caldwell-taylor trus - July 12 - 2:10 pm

  First foreign car owned. Vehicle exceded all my expectations. Previous ownership 15 Lincolns. Transmission very smooth. Acceleration what anyone would hope for. Design was strongest reason for buying.

  Love it!! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By eric egolf - July 3 - 1:56 pm

  I love it!! A little tight in the back seat, yet Im never there. Performance is excellent as well as handling. If you buy one, get used to cars stopping to take a photo with their cell phone cameras. I would highly recommend this car.

  CLS in Capri Blue - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By John M - June 18 - 11:16 pm

  The car handles like a dream, and has plenty of pep with optional braking and ride styles. Abundant leg room for those of us with sore knees that need to be straight for a while. The rear seat is a little tight, but not so uncomfortable for a medium distance ride.

  CLS- best car I have ever owned. - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By smile28 - June 5 - 3:30 am

  But also the priciest. I got the AMG package with the SL65 wheels and design package. Piano black interior dash with white seats. I paid a pretty penny for this car, but love it. For the money, I could have gotten a S550 with AMG package/ panoramic roof, but this car is more exclusive and so much prettier. perhaps I should have opted for the IWC version.
