2003 Mercedes-Benz CL-Class consumer reviews

This is my 3rd MBZ, 1981 300SD, 1995 S600 coupe and 2003 CL 55. I purchased used in June '04 w/5000 miles and I have had zero problems with 68,000 miles currently. I use as a daily driver & get reasonable mileage 17-19 MPG, more on Hwy driving when I use it reasonably - less when driven aggressively. I have all the equipment except parking aid & audio hands free communication which I miss. I love everything about the vehicle except replacing tires which need replacing every 15K to 18K miles. The F-1 type shifting is very good and my first trip was up the California Coast to on Hwy 1 to a Laguna Seca for a racing school, the entire experience was outstanding. This car is an excellent value used for what is really the near the top of the line for this type of performance vehicle.

This is the best car I have ever owned and driven. Even at high speeds (150 mph plus), the car has an instinct ,beyond any other vehicle I have owned, to stay on the tarmac. The handling is superb and it is also a forgiving car for the less experienced. As for the look, this is a sexy, but classy car that turns heads where ever it is driven. Be prepared to visit the gas station frequently, but the upside is the pure enjoyment of simply a superb machine. The only downside with this car is that you get the sports car crowd wanting to race you all the time.
