  CLS500 great car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By num1lady - March 29 - 9:00 pm

  Only six weeks on the road, but able to praise the handling and power. The interior is very comfortable and the exterior is what makes the car. We have found it to be very powerful and most of all it hugs the road. This car gives the feeling of the SLK with the ride of the S. So far outstanding

  3 and a half years later - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By joesander - March 7 - 8:36 pm

  I bought this car just after the announcement of the new CLS series and the day it hit the showroom floor. I had my heart set on a BMW 600 series and switched at the last minute. It was love at first sight. Now the lease is expiring and I have to decide what to do. After lots of research I have concluded there is no better car in the market than the one I have in my driveway right now. I would love to trade for something new but for now I am sticking with my still showroom new looking CLS500.

  Great Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Happy - December 4 - 12:56 pm

  My wife loves this car!! She has always wanted a coupe, but hated the big doors. The CLS500 has the best of both worlds. The head room in the rear is more than acceptable for a coupe and it is the best looking car Ive seen in a while. The build quality is great and Mercedes has always taken better care of us.

  CLS 500 w/AMG Sport Pack - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By William - November 22 - 1:16 am

  Ive been a Mercedes fan for years and have owned several of them. The CLS is the best one yet. Though E-based, its a very different vehicle. It rides better, handles tighter, and is just simply heads above the E. Even the interior is an improvement. I traded in a new 2005 E320 for the CLS500 and do not miss the E at all. The other Mercedes sedans now look dowdy next to this one. Im 64" and had heard the CLS lacked interior space. Up front, theres no problem for me. I cant sit in back of most vehicles and the CLS is no exception. The only problem I had was locating one with the color and equipment I wanted because there still arent that many around.

  I Love It !! Its fun, exciting & FAST - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Don-SCI - October 26 - 11:03 pm

  To me it is beautiful to look at - the best designed car by Mercedes in many, many years. It just keep getting better. You get into it, it is comfortable, well layed out and a sports car that holds 4 people well. 0 to 60 = 4.3 seconds! Fun-Fast-Exciting The sound is perfect, it just sounds as though it will go fast. Fuel mileage (for those who worry) has been between 12 & 14 MPG - pretty good for this type of rocket ship.

  Not your fathers Mercedes - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Drew - June 25 - 1:46 pm

  5,000 miles of truly fun driving. No mechanical problems except for a faulty ESP switch. Great fit and finish. The only negative is the tight quarters in the rear. But it is a "coupe."

  A Classic, Superb in every way - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Jimbo - February 10 - 9:00 am

  One need not wonder about the importance of this car to Mercedes and to the rest of the automobile world. Porsche is building a competitor as is Aston-Martin. All new Mercedes sedan pay homage to the style of this car. It is simply the best looking sedan on the road, inside and out. That is why Top Gear, an British automotive magazine recently picked it the best luxury car of 2006... better than Rolls, Maybach, and even the S Class. With the seven speed transmission, it not only is fast (5.5 sec. to 60; 155 top speed) but gets decent gas mileage (20-25 mpg) for a 4,000 lb. luxury sedan.

  This is it - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By SUSAN KNOWS - December 27 - 1:20 pm

  I am a car person. That is what I do for a living, that is what I wake up in the morning for, to deal with vehicles. This car was well researched before the purchase. and yes there is no absolute when purchasing such a type of vehicle. They will have weak points and strengths. This vehicle has very few weak ones. It is simply fabulous. I am proud to own one. I am not new to the Mercedes scene and I know they are built to last but It is nice when they look good and have the functionality in one package. Whenever I get in the car which is a kidless car by the way, I turn into another mode. I block out all other things and set myself free. be careful you will be tested, be strong!

  Stylish Sedan - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By alegrats - December 4 - 5:53 am

  Have owned the CLS500 for almost 3 years and has been everything i have expected - great sedan for family of 4 with school aged kids - a lot of head turning looks with this car - just enough truck space for active family - only complaint is the challenges in accessing a drive up ATM through the smallish side window - every facet of this car speaks quality
