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

Benz is back! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By JimG - July 26 - 8:06 pmThis car is absolutely stunning, and with the seven speed transmission, 302 HP feels like 402! Less than 6 sec. to 60 in a first class luxury sedan is nothing to sneeze at. The build quality feels superb like previous generation Benzes when engineering came first and the price was set as an afterthought. Anyone looking at this level will be impressed with this car...if they can find one to see and drive. This makes my 7th Benz in 13 years and it is without question the best of the batch including my vaunted 92 S class. No car is perfect, but for me, this one comes very close.

Sleek - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Dr B.Singh - June 29 - 5:36 amI bought this car for my wife but i have been driving it more for now. No doubt it is one of the best Mercedes we have. Cup holders are neat but do interfere with moving the shift stick. One may spill his/her coffee. Storage space in between front seats is small .I would like to have small space to put my papers in front console. A cover to accomadate a fifth passenger/child would help in rear middle. It definitely however turns heads.

New CLS 500 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Cliff McGahee - June 20 - 5:46 amHave only had the car less than a week, but it is beautiful, silky smoothe, and couldnt be more satisfied. Silver, with dark red interior and most of the add-ons - no keyless go. Not one thing wrong with it - no adjustments needed.

Nice at first, but... - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By BP - May 21 - 7:20 amBought this car new in 2006. Was torn between the 650 BMW and the CLS500. Both seemed to purr but thought I would go for the lesser horsepower but try for the Mercedes badge. Test drove each for a weekend, and found the BMW to be more appealing, faster, and over all a better head turner, but thought the MB was a better buy. Lets just say I had the Mercedes for 2 months and traded it for the BMW 650. The MB sqeaked, knobs cracked, just poor quaility I missed all this at the begining during my test drives. I guess if I wanted a Chrysler product, I should have bought a Chrysler. Never again. I learned my lesson on this one. Maybe once they stop sharing parts on $20,000 Crossfires, I may be back

Great all around car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Scott Price - January 22 - 2:16 pmI have owned my CLS55 for four months. I had very high expectations for this car having owned other higher end high performance vehicles. The car has surpassed all of my expectations. I am 61" and dont have any problem getting in or out of the vehicle which I read might be a problem. I have sat in the back seat for extented periods of time and found it very comfortable. The performance on the car is amazing. The dash layout is extremely functional. The trunk is large. This is the ultimate family of four car. My wife who historically has had no interest in cars but has owned Range Rovers, 7 series Bimmers, M Bimmers and a CLK Cab. absolutely loves every aspect of this car.

Its soooo sweet - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By Mercedes Loyalist - November 18 - 3:13 amIve only had my CLS500 about a month. It really does turn heads! I have people signal me to roll down my window at intersections just to tell me what a beauty the car is. Traded in a E320 after 2-years and have never been happier with my decision. This car is awesome.

Love my car - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
By gigi farrell - November 17 - 8:33 pmI love everything about this car ...except the location of the cup holder....that is just in the wrong place. But everything else is so great I can forgivr that..The pick up is fantastic, it is comfortable. It just feels good....and the attention it recieves doesnt hurt either.
