Overview & Reviews
This four-door "coupe" from Mercedes-Benz, known as the CLS, gets more power for 2007, its sophomore year. The standard model becomes the CLS550. The number change indicates the V8 is now a 5.5-liter unit. It delivers 382 horsepower, 80 more than the output of last year's V8. Additionally, the high-performance CLS63 AMG replaces last year's CLS55 AMG and brings more power as well -- 507 hp compared to the previous 469 hp. Newly standard are a Harman Kardon premium audio system (with six-disc CD changer) and Mercedes' "PreSafe" collision-mitigation system.
- Sharp and sexy exterior design, handles like a smaller car, smooth and potent V8s.
- Sleek lines make getting in back a little awkward, headroom tight in back for taller passengers, complicated control interface.

My Dream Car! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Donna - December 26 - 12:43 pmI wanted to buy my dream car, a special car that I would love to drive for a few years and would still be great looking. I researched the web extensively, test drove more cars than I ever did before, and decided on the CLS, with the AMG package. When I first saw it, it made my heart skip a beat! I have driven 3 Cadillac STSs, a SAAB 900 turbo, went conservative with a Volvo S80 twin turbo, but this car is special. I love power and good looks and this car is awesome. I cant drive it without a smile coming to my face.

The Faster You Go, The Better It Feels - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By R. Fallon - February 5 - 4:26 amTook delivery of this beauty in Stuttgart. The Euro Delivery Program is highly recommended and will save you major bucks. Plus Mercedes really does a great job taking care of you. For those of you who need a 4-door but want a sports car, there isnt anything that comes close to this car. It flies and feels like its on rails through corners. When the governor maxed out on the Autobahn at 130 mph, it still felt effortless to drive. Check it out, you wont go wrong with this car.

Beautiful car! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Simba - October 18 - 5:36 pmThis is a beautifully made car, both inside and outside. People stare at it all the time and ask me about it. Plenty of power with the new 5.5 L engine. Braking is exceptional. The airmatic suspension gives you the best of both worlds luxury as well as sporty. Steering wheel is more precise and firm than last years CLS 500. Overall, exceptional car with gorgeous lines.

One of the most fun cars to drive - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By David - July 18 - 3:03 pmGreat balance between speed/sports car and luxury. Wicked fast when you want it. Super soft for cruising (highway driving is great - not like a big sedan but much smoother than similar speed sports cars). Four adults OK but a little tight. Great choice for sports car with the occational need for four adults.

Beautiful but extremely inconvenient - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Jack - March 12 - 5:16 amThe CLS is the most stylish 4 door sedan ever! But extremely not user- friendly. Navigation entry relies on arrow keys and enter button to choose words from list instead of touchscreen keypad. It is maddening! I find myself avoiding using it. Headlight control/indicator placed too low and out of sight. When in full on position, it does not turn off automatically when engine is shut off. Center console storage too small. No coin holder. Door pockets blocked by seats. Wiper control on turn signal lever requires twisting instead of simpler up/down motion. No rear view camera available. I am very disappointed by my first Mercedes. I will not buy another Mercedes again.

MB 63 AMG - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By JSeguancia - January 15 - 9:36 pmPowerful car, handles beautifully. Drivers side mirror blocks some road visibility. Car "hugs" you as you drive. Very much worth the money.

Ballin with Balls! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By rob - August 18 - 2:33 amI am a sales manager at a very large dealership and i sell everything from a ford escort on up to well, a Mercedes Benz. Im only 28 years old an Ive probably owned somewhere around 30 cars since i was 16. This is honestly the first car Ive fallen in love with! I was debating over the last few months of whether i wanted to buy a luxury car or a performance car, when i drove the cls 550, i realized i could have both and made an immediate purchase.

2007 Mercedes CLS550 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Boca Raton - June 9 - 6:03 amThe style is nice. The car is in the shop at least once every 3 months. Fixes so far include, oil leaks, belt tensioner replaced, chrome trim tarnished and replaced, differential replaced, steering wheel leather peeled, door glass window needed several repairs, cup holder chrome peels off in one year or so, replaced once and will need replacement again, window class catches the rubber molding when opened on all doors (no fix available at dealer). The car has clicking noise from from and rear suspension, the dealer said it is normal to have the noise. It may well be normal but I did not expect a MB to have such noises. Blind spot is bad.

CLS 63 AMG - 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By David - May 18 - 12:46 pmIt is difficult for me to describe just how brilliant the CLS 63 AMG is. It really is a dream car. It simply does everything! When you are stressed, tired or off to lets say the ball, it will simply drive like a very comfortable and expensive saloon. However, should you need to get somewhere quickly, its speed will leave you breathless and with a big smile on you face! It will get you from 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds if you use the paddle shifts or 4.3 if you leave it in sport mode. Only very serious supercars like a Lambo are faster. I spent about 8 months researching the CLS range and decided there was nothing out there with this combination of beauty, style, performance, and practicality.
