  Numerous Problems! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Mica - October 4 - 3:10 pm

  I have had my CLS500 w/ AMG sport package, keyless go, satellite radio etc. for going on 8 months and it has been in the shop numerous times already. On average, once every 2 weeks and one time for more than a week.

  CLS 55 - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Postman - September 3 - 5:13 pm

  The car is unbelievable. I have driven Aston Martins, Porsches and many other sports cars before this one and this is second to none of them. The trunk is large for golf clubs and luggage so you can actually drive this car out of town, what a novel idea. The power is tremendous and the CLS handles very well compared to all the other mercedes available.

  Happy Wife - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By L1 - August 22 - 8:40 pm

  Love this car for the styling and performance. We picked it up in Feb 2005 for my wife and it gets stares everywhere we go. It is the best looking Mercedes I have seen since the Gull Wing. The rear seat headroom is marginal as to be expected with any coupe. I am 6 tall and have an inch or two to spare. My wife is very happy with this car and I am considering buying one for myself.

  Very impressed so far - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By terryp - May 27 - 5:46 am

  My last two cars have been BMWs, but I was turned off by the I-drive and wanted something new. I was captivated by the styling of this car, which is a depature from the norm for Mercedes. The fit and finish on the car are quite good and it handles like a dream. I was sold the minute I drove the car. Edmunds found the control interface to be "complicated," but it is far better than the I-drive from BMW. My only complaint is the lack of headroom. I am just six feet tall, but I have very little headroom in the front seats of the car. I am somewhat concerned about Mercedes recent reputation for poor reliability, but only time will tell on that point.

  Sexy Sedan/Coupe - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By Factoid Junkie - April 25 - 12:46 pm

  This car blends the proven handling and performance of the highly rated E class (with airmatic) with superior interior appointments. I love the drive and enjoy the styling. Its roomier than it appears and has ample trunk space. The 7 gear transmission is a dream.

  Can I be Dreaming ? - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By jjm - December 25 - 5:10 pm

  Ive had my CLS-55 for three months now. Prior to it I drove an E-55 for five years. The new supercharged CLS- 55 engine with tighter suspension is a superior ride to the E-55. The Harmon Kardon stereo system is OK, but not the best. The manual shift mechanism on the steering column makes city driving a blast again. I must say that everytime I get in this car, it puts me in another world allowing me to temporarily believe that its also Camelot on the outside. The combination of horsepower/torque on this car is what makes it so fun to be in. When I first got it, I was constantly going for the brakes because I was approaching the vehicle in front quicker than anticipated. Cest la vie !!

  Like A Dream - 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class
  By SoCal - November 17 - 5:36 pm

  One word: WOW! This car is amazing. This was my first Mercedes and I was somewhat skeptical of its performance capabilities before I test drove it. After that first drive, I was an instant fan. This car gives my 2004 400 hp Ferrari 360 Modena a run for its money in the acceleration category! It really threw me back in my seat...something I was not expecting for a car manufacturer more known for their luxury than performance. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for a performance jolt while offering more luxury and options than more exotic sports cars.

  Great car fun to drive, eats mountain roads. This is one of kind car that must be driven. Long trips are not a problem, it is easy to drive and plenty of truck space for those long weekends.
