"If you are looking for a luxury vehicle with 382HP or 507 HP and all the amenities, the CLS 550 and CLS 63 AMG is the vehicle. BMW was my vehicle brand of choice, but the CLS has changed all that, bought my 2008 with 7000 miles. This vehicle drives smoothly and performance is exceptional, plenty of HP for the CLS 550, but for those who really want HP, opt for the CLS 63 AMG. Both vehicles are a little pricey, 80k and 100k, but trust me you will not be disappointed, AMG package is a must for CLS 550. Interior is plush, leather seats,wood grain accents, satellite radio, heated and cooled seats, IPOD connector, sunroof, large trunk, Harmon Kardon premium stereo, parktronic, MB bluetooth, good gas mileage for V8 and much more. Mercedes Benz has made me a believer. Buy the CLS, its a true winner with great style and performance."

"GOOD: Exterior design High HP/Torque Power steering/brakes BAD: Windows are extremely small, making it impossible to view sides when turning. It isn't very fuel efficient. CLS-550 is a car to drive when you are very confident about your driving skills. The small front/side windows are extremely difficult to view the road, especially at night. Except for that, the car is very nice and fun to drive."

"I have a silver 2007 Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG I'm 22 years old and i have driven just about every luxury vehicle out there from BMW to Lexus,Porsche,Maserati etc The CLS63 is far my favorite! After all I did go out and spend $98,000 for it. 0-60 in just 4.2 seconds I love it! When you take off you just get thrown back in your seat the skin on your face pulls back or at least it feels like it. I get compliments on my cls63 everywhere I go. And the ladies they love it! Got a lot of dates due to my car. Anyway, I have put 24,000 miles on it since I bought it and still runs like the day I got it! GREAT! Like I said luxury cars there in my family my dad has a 2003 BMW 745li after I let him drive my car he wanted one but he said he is to old. And my mom she has a 2008 Lexus LS460 she likes it but does not love it! She already traded her Lexus in for a 2009 Mercedes S600 So what I?m saying is I and my parents except nothing but the best in are cars and the CLS63 AMG is just that. I highly recommend it if you can afford it! I will admit I?m a little rough on it because I like to speed and what not but this car holds up runs good sounds good well you really cant hear it. THANK YOU MERCEDES-BENZ for making such a wonderful car!!"

"I've been fortunate enough to have owned 14 MBs over the years including virtually all the "high line" cars... 4SLs, 2CLs, 2Ss, etc. This car is the most enjoyable to drive and own. At 14,000 miles it's been flawless. If, like me, you mostly drive alone or with your wife, it's perfect. The back seats are comfortable once your in but not what you want for many hours of riding. I, at 300lbs, am comfortable for anything less than an hour. Much better than a CL in the back. Vs. my wife's Lexus, I now look forward to the next turn. Fun, good looking, yet still a very nice 4 seater. I'm also an audiophile and the sound system is fine unless you have an adolescent need for a goofy subwoofer. Someone please save me from all these unreliable bluetooth phones in all the new cars. I'll take MBs old dedicated cells anytime."

"after one week, still think best looking car on the road. Mercedes still needs to get with the times on phone interface, beyond the pricey after market kits to make today's phones interface with the vehicle. power is great but little or no exhaust note. feels like driving a very fast in a library."

"The CLS 550 has more toys, gadgets and options that continue to amaze me. You can adjust the ride to Sport or Comfort....you can raise or lower the entire car for city or highway driving. This is a dream car that you love and also a car turns heads wherever you go. Very fast: 0-60 in 5+ seconds...incomparable handling in every condition. Sport tires are not meant for rugged roads or pot holes, so...avoid them!"
