 My 2007 Benz CLK 350 has been an awesome car!Very dependable and reliable!No complaints here!Well, maybe wish it had a bigger back seat....then I guess I should have bought a 4 door sedan then!No! I am very happy and highly recommend the CLK! I have seen many negative remarks about this car but if you research all cars no matter the brand you will find flaws and defects with all makes and models including the BMW brand etc. Also, the Mercedes is so much cheaper to maintain than the Beamer, I know first hand experience! :) on this one!
