  It has grown on me. - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By R House - February 22 - 12:00 am

  This is my 3rd Benz and I must admit that I was totally spoiled by my previous model, a 2001 CL 600. I still get goose bumps of its awesome power and drive ability; however, it became a mechanical and reliability nightmare. When I first saw a CLS, I was struck by beauty and for me, its understated elegance. When I decided to buy, at the beginning of 2009, looked at quite a few and drove a few, but I just could not, or was not ready, to go there. Everything in its owm time and I spotted this beauty and I knew it was the one-black with cream interior and flawless kept, approximately 30,000, and showroom condition. After 6 months and approximately 4,000 miles there has not been one glitch.

  Best of the Best - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By MarkB - January 19 - 6:56 pm

  This is the best car ever sold to the masses. The exterior styling is what an auto should be. It is not like those cookie cutter automobiles that we see on the road. The handling is superb and the aceleration is outstanding. The dynamic seats makes driving long distances more comfortable. This is the type of car Detroit should try to make.

  CLS55 is the bomb! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Brian - January 13 - 10:20 am

  This is a great car! Styling is beautiful and the performance is outstanding. I had an 03 Viper prior and this car is very close in performance and much better in size, comfort, and driveability. This is the best 4 door Ive owned.

  Smooth as Silk - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By J Carter - October 3 - 2:36 am

  I traded in my Cayenne Turbo because I wanted a car with power, luxury, and reliability.The CLS has it all. It is silky smooth on acceleration. It has all the characters of a luxury car, and drives like a sports car. Enough room for four adults and luggage. I dont miss my Cayenne yet!

  Nice car, few challenges. - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Richie Etwaru - September 25 - 10:23 pm

  I have had the opportunity to own and drive this car for an entire year now. Overall the experience has been enjoyable. I have owned Mercedes and BMWs in the past and while this car is marketed as a combination of a sedan and a coupe, I would submit that it also delivers a combination between a BMW and a Mercedes. The car performs very well, it manages its multiple personality disorder very well and is able stay under the radar as a chameleon transforming from executive luxury during the week in the employee parking lot to sporty/sexy transportation for a Saturday night out in New York City.

  CLS 500 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Jim in new york - September 20 - 2:46 am

  Needless to say it gets a lot of attention. It is a lot of fun to drive. I moved away from Mercedes a few years back due to quality. I went to Lexus and I was so bored. This car is anything but boring. It is a fun drivers car. It reminds you of the joy you felt when you first got behind the wheel. Im just hoping that the quality is in this car.

  A Real Beauty on Wheels - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By P Vaughn - June 16 - 7:33 pm

  Had a few minor kinks, but they were taken care very well by my dealership. Fun, a great ride and is a very beautiful car. Awesome handling. At first the dash was a little bit intimidating but I got use to it and is really very well thought out. Back seat is a little too small,oh well... I recomend the rubber floor mats for the winter which helps w/ my black on black interior.

  Beware of gawkers - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By bigdog32553 - April 4 - 5:03 am

  If you dont like people coming up to you in parking lots or at the carwash to look at this car and ask about it, then dont buy it! Handles great, fun to drive and is very comfortable even for a 62" bigdog. Have had one service problem for a faulty seat belt restraint warning message but that was corrected. Overall very pleased with the vehicle!

  Unbelievable - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Firsttobuy - March 17 - 9:53 pm

  Mercedes sexy cat (who would ever have dreamed. . .) purrs its way into your heart and loins in the first 20 seconds of road time. A Jaguar-killer. Drive feel is far more powerful than the engine stats suggest and has no hint of the E-class parts and staid chassis from which the car is supposedly derived. Probably the best fusion of sports car and sedan features ever achieved in an assembly line model. This is an exceptional car that Daimler Chrysler could sell for $20,000 - $40,000 more than its listed for.

  Beautiful CLS - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By W C McGahee - February 25 - 8:46 am

  Have owned this car about 6 weeks. Absolutely love it. Have about 2000 miles on it. No quality problems at all, and build quality seems great. Car attracts attention at every stop. It is smoothe and powerful, with great exterior lines and pretty interior.
