  Nice looking but mechanical issues - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Don Bowzer - September 17 - 11:26 am

  This car looks great and is fun to drive, but spends way too much time in the shop. Had several major mechanical problems including complete transmission replacement and complete cooling system replacement, plus many ongoing and nagging electronic problems. Love car but cant afford repairs.

  Luxury Defined - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By gary k - September 7 - 2:10 pm

  This is my fifth Mercedes car and I really love this one. My last car was a 2004 S430. The CLS looks and feels more luxurious, and it gets noticed. People always think it cost much more than it actually does. The controls are well placed and the interior treatment is gorgeous. High quality materials cover every surface. You sit low in the car and you feel as though the car wraps around you, creating a very personal environment. Gas mileage is not great, but who cares, it looks and drives so well. Overall, a great car and definitely the best Mercedes I have owned. I shopped other cars including BMW and Lexus, but they didnt compare in overall design and luxury feel.

  This isnt a car, its a work of art - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Mike - September 1 - 1:50 pm

  I get just as much pleasure looking at this car as I do driving it. It is without a doubt, the most beautiful car on the road today. Bar none. When I am driving , it makes me feel that Im the king of the world. The fit and finish, both interior and exterior, leave little room for improvement. It is a 4 door sports car with ample room, at least for my family and me. If you want to be the envy of every other driver on the road, buy this car.

  Former CLK 500 owner - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Willem - August 13 - 8:23 am

  I traded my 2003 CLK 500 in on a CLS 500 and find the following to be better in the CLS: 1. rear entry & exit 2. better fuel consumption (7-speed vs. 5-speed gear box) 3. ride quality & handling (airmatic vs. conventional suspension) 4. steering (speed sensitive vs. conventional power assistance). The car is an abolute pleasure to drive on the highways & especially over the long distances we cover here in Australia. The styling attracts a lot of attention!

  Awesome - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By dct - July 30 - 3:10 pm

  Great car to drive if you can afford it. Hope it last like a Benz should. This is for the buyer that likes to drive a car for 5 years plus.

  JWW Review - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Jack - July 27 - 2:40 pm

  I really like the exterior design. My wife likes a coupe but I like a sedan. When I first saw this car I knew it was just the answer to our needs. She loves the design too. It drives like "silk", smooth and quick.

  Wanna turn heads? - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By FelixNYC - June 30 - 4:10 pm

  This car is SEXY , like an Italian car built by Germans. It looks fantastic, it goes like hell, seats four people perfectly (unless all you friends are in the NBA). The engine noise is sweet, the dynamic seats are a trip - heat, cool, massage AND inflating side bolsters to keep you in tight. Everyone stares and gives a thumbs up. The AMG version is worth extra money, the feeling you get when you blast down a highway is pure exhilaration. I traded in an Infiniti FX45 (a pretty quick SUV in its own right) for this baby and I never looked back.

  Its a Sexy Beast! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By TeddySilva - June 23 - 5:00 am

  I have owned my CLS500 only 3 months and love every minute I am inside of it. It drives like the smooth flow of the wind and feels like it too. Had 2 BMW525s before including the recent 2004 newbody style it was just a great drive. But CLS500 is a awesome car.

  A Winner - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Dewey - May 20 - 7:23 am

  As a previous owner of BMWs, I must say that Benz has made a major step forward in terms of design and performance. The CLS500 is a fun machine to drive and the body design is outstanding. Whether sitting still or rolling along, it draws a lot of admiring looks. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this automobile.

  Only 4 passenger sports car! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By doublet - April 5 - 9:00 pm

  I traded my S500 for this car. I traded my Jaguar XKR for a SL500. The CLS55 is faster than my XKR and holds two adults in the back seat. The trunk is enormous. This is my daily driver. I love the sound, steering feel, power and look. Unbelievable to have something this cool and this practical. I am a senior and this is our sedan.
