The Best 4 Door Luxury Coupe

This car surely met all of my expectations as I would expect from Mercedes. Very powerful but can still be driven as a family car. With all of the driver assist and safety features you cant go wrong. The fuel consumption is very impressive for an 8 cylinder. Maybe One of the first cars from Mercedes to be exempt from the Gas Guzzler tax. All around a win in my opinion.

Just the best car ever

I've owned the S class, the SL, the ML, and now the CLS. I've also owned BMWs, Jags, Lexus and a few others, but this car is by far the best of them all. Fast, smooth, comfortable, reliable, classy head turner. I've owned it for two years and usually I'm ready for the next one, but not this time. I'm loving it. On a trip from Houston to New Orleans I got 27mpg driving 75mph, not bad for a bad a-- V8 (oops sorry). Enough said. I'm loving it...

Beast

This is by far the best sedan that I have ever owned. From the front it looks like a race car or at least very similar the my old SL55 AMG. The ride is very smooth and has very quick pick up speed. Decent gas mileage for a V8. Huge trunk space but only capable of putting two people in the back seats

Most Fun Ever

This car is hands down the best I've owned. I was a hardcore BMW guy and decided to try something different and I'm glad I did.
