Mercedes-Benz CLK Cabriolet 320 Elegance 2d Tip Auto (1999/V) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I purchased second hand from original owner low miles and full history, the price reflected this, but I have been offered similar to what I paid in part exchange against other cars.
Costs
A service is relatively cheap at £180, MB service is scary at £490, but intervals are good approx 12-13,000 miles between each.

On the road
Driving
Superb drive loads of power and the tiptronic gearbox is great fun.
Performance
Fun, good road holding back end can be controlled, steering is a bit lifeless, but makes for comfortable cruising.

Living with it
Reliability
One slight problem with rear disks, but got that sorted, otherwise superb German engineering.

Proper head turner with the roof down.
Comfort
Superb, I've never been a MB interior lover, but this car has all the bells and whistles, leather heated memory seats are a must.
