Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class Review
The
Mercedes-Benz CLK offers sporty performance, elegant design, and interior luxury. The
CLK-Class represents a full line of two-door coupes and convertibles. With its stylish exterior and elegant interior, the CLK is a treat just to look at or sit in, and carries Mercedes cachet to the front door of any destination.
Out on the highway, the CLK is even more satisfying, with responsive performance. The ride is firm but comfortable on high-speed interstates; with confident, level cornering the CLK is even more satisfying on backroad curves.
Drivers seeking high performance can opt for the powerful V8 in the CLK500, and the enthusiast might even take on the CLK55 AMG, but most owners will be very happy with the 215-horsepower CLK320. The CLK320 has a five-speed automatic transmission with manual override. The mid-level CLK500 has been upgraded for 2005 with a new seven-speed automatic transmission.
