best overall vehicle

The CLS 500 is the best car i have drove! the handling is amazing and look rivals the porshe's, aston martins and bentley's. I constantly get compliments! i cant tell you how great this car is! you have to experience it for your self. In my opinion its one of those cars that will always look great 50 years from now!

So far, so good

I bought a 2006 Mercedes CLS 500 with an AMG Sport package on it and some other options. There is no other car in my town, Conway, like it. It has exceptional power, handling, and style. The manual is very thick...and because the car has so many options on it...it is a bit difficult to set things up. Overall, however, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Best Luxury Seden I've owned

High quality Luxury Sports Seden with great road side appeal with AMG Sports package. This car is completely loaded with Parktronic system, memory package, luxury seats with multi-contour seat controls for both front seats. 7 speed auto transmittion and a steering column with manuel shift. Comand center navaigation system and too many other options to list.

great car with huge problems

This is a rocket ship but my average mpg is 12. I have had it in for service five time in the last five months total of 8600 dollars. My cambers are off so the last two sets of rear tires lasted less than five thousand miles with trction control always on. My alternator blew. My supercharger heat sensor needed replacing. My fluid for the dynamic seats is broken over 2000 dollars to fix. My fog light glass broke and you need the entire replacement piece. My window spider gear thingy broke. ( no i am not mechanical) Oh yes and lastly my rims are so soft I have had all of them straigntened twice but they are good only for a week or two so my car shakes horribly and I have not hit anything. Cost of four new rims $12800 yes that is 12800 dollars. But I still love the car.

cls 500

I will never drive anything else... this car is perfect for comfort AND sportive drivers. No matter how you hit the curve, it never squeaks, you sit in leather and steel and not in plastic in fiberglass... and up the hill we go... 0-60 in 4 seconds.... or was it 3 ?

WOW!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!

I sold my 2005 BMW 750L for this car and this Mercedes hands down is a far better handling, most comfortable in its class. I don't have any regrets on my CLS 500. Along with the AMG Sport package, it makes this vehicle look so much sportier, and classy at the same time.

Everything I hoped for & more!!!

I've owned my CLS500 for over 2 years now and I still love it just as much as the day I bought it. I owned 3 BMW's and now my 2nd Benz and I'll never go back to BMW. This is just such a great car!!!
