Power, handling, style. The flexibility to adjust your suspension and the timing of an awesome 7 speed transmission instantly transforms the vehicle for your mood and driving music. Soften it and adjust your seats 1,000 different ways for the long drive. It accelerates, corners, and brakes like a dream.
I've had STS Cadillacs, Vettes, and 3, 5, and 6 series BMWs. This car is more enjoyable to drive than any I've owned. The instrumentation and features are well thought out and with a lot of buttons on the panel, comfortable and intuitive to manage. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Turn lever and cruise control lever are very close together, but you get used to it on day two.
It's a complicated high tech vehicle from transmission to braking, and from throttle to suspension. You'll have to keep on top of a good preventative maintenance plan and expect an "occasional" issue. Nasa, Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Verizon, ADT, and the human body: Complicated systems and sometimes they hiccup or break. At one time or another every car I've owned had some issue that took effort to resolve.
Once the initial hassle was over it was long term trouble free driving. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
The expectations are higher on a Mercedes. This car meets the expectation and they're rare on the road so attention comes from every corner.
You're going to love this car. It's elegant, sporty and yes the back seat could be a little bigger. Yet it's a 4 door coupe and considered from the proper perspective, the back seat area is actually quite accommodating and a terrific perk to this unique and amazing luxury sports car. I'm 6ft, 200 lbs., and comfortable in the back when friends beg me to drive it.
Enjoy! |

This is by far the finest Mercedes I have ever owned..
Needless to say it turns eyes everywhere & I consider it the most beautiful car on the road..
A true pleasure to drive & the keyless go is a winner.. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Cumbersome cup holders & lack of a full size spare.. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Overall, this car is a pleasure to own, either standing still or driving at speed.. |

Simply a beautiful car with excellent performance. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Always would like a few more horsepower, but not at the expensive of poor mpg. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I've had mine for 2 years now and still am in love with the car. I'd had no issues at all and it turns heads wherever I go. With 0-60 in 5.4 I never get "left" at a light and it still gives me 18-20mpg without fail. Highway mileage is 23-24 cruising at 70-80. |

Please improve the visibility from the inside before accidents occur. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I have driven this car 1600 miles from Springfield, MO to McAllen, TX and noticed many blind spots around the car that could cause me or my wife to have a car accident. Door jams are too wide,and windows are too small and narrow. Overall the car has poor visibility from the inside. The right hand mirror is obscured about one quarter by the passenger door jam. |

A little more head room in the back seats 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I have never owned a vehicle that turns more heads than the CLS500. With its "E" class trunk and relatively long legs for a V8, it is a perfect blend as a true road trip car. Comfort, ease of operation (Unlike my previous BMW I Drive that took a computer programer just to go to the gas station) I opted for the NAV, Satellite radio and Tele-aid, all of which opertate perfectly and are very logically user friendly. |

The GPS can't hold a candle to my Lexuses. I've already wound up in the wrong location a few times with the Mercedes GPS. It needs an eyeglass holder, and the cupholders are inconsistent with quality and durability 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Needless to say it gets a lot of attention. It is a lot of fun to drive. I moved away from Mercedes a few years back due to quality. I went to Lexus and I was so bored. This car is anything but boring. It is a fun driver's car. It reminds you of the joy you felt when you first got behind the wheel. I'm just hoping that the quality is in this car. |

I would have taken a run at the AMG package, but there were so few available for sale. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Traded in my 2002 911 for something a little more "family friendly", but with some pizzazz. Couldn't be happier. I love the comfort, the styling, and the performance. It looks like it's going 80mph while still in park. It just is everything I wanted in a car. |

| 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I bought this car for my wife but i have been driving it more for now. No doubt it is one of the best Mercedes we have. Cup holders are neat but do interfere with moving the shift stick. One may spill his/her coffee. Storage space in between front seats is small .I would like to have small space to put my papers in front console. A cover to accomadate a fifth passenger/child would help in rear middle. It definitely however turns heads. |

Only six weeks on the road, but able to praise the handling and power. The interior is very comfortable and the exterior is what makes the car. We have found it to be very powerful and most of all it hugs the road. This car gives the feeling of the SLK with the ride of the S. So far outstanding |

Great headturner, and we love everything about it, but it has been in the repair shop 8 out of the 45 days we have owned the car. Mercedes customer service, when they answer the phone timely, has been poor and disapointing. I hope customer service gets new phone lines and Mercedes gets the bugs out of the car. |

Easier Nav interface, with voice command. BlueTooth telephone interface. The wired phone option is expensive, poor performer, and out of date on a car of this type. Come on Mercedes. Innovate. Don't follow, lead! 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Having traded an S class for the CLS, I have to tell you I am very happy. No discernable difference in comfort in the front seats, but a big difference in the performance and handling. I have had many unsolicted compliments on the styling of the car. This one is a real winner. I just cannot figure out why I do not see more CLS 500's on the road. |

A place to put your sunglasses. Satellite radio should be standard instead of an option. Free service for the first 4 years. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I get just as much pleasure looking at this car as I do driving it. It is without a doubt, the most beautiful car on the road today. Bar none. When I am driving , it makes me feel that I'm the king of the world. The fit and finish, both interior and exterior, leave little room for improvement. It is a 4 door sports car with ample room, at least for my family and me. If you want to be the envy of every other driver on the road, buy this car. |

5,000 miles of truly fun driving. No mechanical problems except for a faulty ESP switch. Great fit and finish. The only negative is the tight quarters in the rear. But it is a "coupe." |

Redesign location of control levers behind the steering wheel.(cruse control stick and the windshield wiper stick). They interfere with each other. Improve customer relationship. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Pros: Head turner, good handling Cons: Quality of Lexus (LS430) far exceeds than this one. Poor controls' interface, Very bad service by Mercedes. A bit uncomfortable for longer drives. |

The key sensitive seat positioning seems to have been removed. Would like it back. No problem with memory position, but alternate driver has to manually change it. Small matter, but hard to find anything to complain about. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Have only had the car less than a week, but it is beautiful, silky smoothe, and couldn't be more satisfied. Silver, with dark red interior and most of the add-ons - no keyless go. Not one thing wrong with it - no adjustments needed. |

Beige floor mats- my car has beige leather interior, though it came from factory with black mats. Less touchy steering and brakes. 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
This car drives as great as it looks. Without a doubt, the finest looking car on the road today. It turns heads everywhere I go. As a long-time BMW driver, it took me awhile to get used to very touchy brakes and Mercedes handling, softer than I like from years of BMW driving. The CLS smokes the LS430's performance, and when it comes to styling, the Lexus has no business in the same sentence as the CLS. First time I've bought a car with keyless go- a great option, as is the satellite radio. Given the small windows, I'd recommend Parktronic as well. |

I have had my CLS500 w/ AMG sport package, keyless go, satellite radio etc. for going on 8 months and it has been in the shop numerous times already. On average, once every 2 weeks and one time for more than a week. |
