  3 Irritating Things, but I Love the Car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Hoot - January 1 - 5:46 am

  Side mirrors are tiny- very difficult to see. Ride is too mushy even on sport mode setting. Glare on interior windshield on passenger side from wood trim is distracting. I plan to keep the car for 5 years. Found out that I cannot obtain an extended warranty since i am not the original owner. So now AAA gets my business and I can take it to the M-B dealer. Wake up Daimler! If youre over 6 you sit in the front seats- in the rear seat your head touches the roof- believe me. The 2010 version looks more aggressive so after 5 years Ill get one at less than half cost. This car depreciates 50% in less than 3 years!

  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.

  Ive Had Issues - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By PPilot - September 29 - 2:50 pm

  I love this car but unfortunately I have had issues. The check engine light came on and took 3 trips to the dealer to fix. The steering column angle sensor went bad and had to be replaced and most distressing (the new 7-speed transmission) a clunkly downshift from 3-2 when coming to a stop. The dealer fixed this but 2,000 miles later it is back. Of course everyone knows how it is impossible to come to a smooth stop with those electric brakes. It kills me because I love the car.

  BEST CAR EVER! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Mica - August 21 - 5:06 pm

  I just received the CLS 500 as a gift from my parents, Im 17, and I absoutly love it. Before this car I had the Volvo xc90 T6 AWD. After only driving SUVs and now having a sport coupe, I dont think i will go back. It is extremely easy to handle and you will definetly get noticed. With its sleek design people often mistake it for a 2- door coupe. In addition to its easy handling, its interior is very comfortable and practical for example its "in-ground" cup holders. They truly are what you might call "million dollar" cup holders becuase its simple...they cant break!!! But honsetly its an awesome car with a lot of thought, time and effort put into it.

  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."

  Very satisfied - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By nmotb - March 26 - 8:40 pm

  I am just weeks ahead of my 2nd year of ownership and this has been a great car, and I have not had any troubles with it that required a dealer visit. Its my first Mercedes Benz and I am impressed with how solid the car feels, it feels as though it will feel new and perfect for a long time.

  By steve - March 26 - 8:30 pm

  This car has cronic transmission problems. This has been replaced and still is sifting like a go cart. Brake vibration problems. Also a problem with leaking lights (water this a been replaced also and still leaks. Electrical problems, windows and sunroof sometimes dont close, the window will make an attempt to close then it reopens Squeeky brakes. Dont buy one! This car needs to be recalled and reworked. Its really Mercedes garbage. This is my second Mercedes and my last!
