2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Mercedes really does build a very nice car. It looks great and very comfortable and exciting to drive. I loved driving it on the winding hilly roads with the top down, if your a convertible fan then this is the car for you. It kept me nice and dry during the winter months and the heated and ventilated seats are awesome. Performance wise with the sports package it is short of amazing. It handles aggressively and hugs the corners like crazy. The "shiftamatic" system is like driving a manual without a clutch, pretty sweet.

Handles great. Very quick and responsive. Especially fun in the spring/summer months. Great for day to day needs. Good trunk space, even more when top is up. Not neccessarily ideal for large families, but great for individuals or couples.

Acceleration is blistering, with the traction control disabled, you could spin the tires all day long. Initial build quality leaves something to be desired. The power steering fluid leaked into the rack which required the entire rack to be replaced with 400 miles on the clock. A lot of fun to drive, am not convinced the car has the correct suspension. At times it feels too soft, and at over bumps or with potholes too stiff. GPS time is 5 hours and 3 minutes offset from system time. MB can't figure out how to fix it.

CLK and E class Mercedes Benz cars are the best quality value available. German engineering and quality cant be beat! Pay a little bit more but get significant number of quality extras. MB has always been ahead of the competition in new features and safety elements.

This car is amazing,excellent value and and has exceeded my expectations. It looks beautiful and it is a dream to drive.

Car is very attractive. Build quality, fit & finish excellent, inside and out. Handling excellent, ride quality stiff but comfortable. Comand system navigation somewhat cumbersome, but climate & audio functions intuitive & easy to use. Has ample power with decent gas mileage; transmission very smooth & seems to always select the proper gear for driving condition. unlike some other automatics. Car is a blast to drive on twisty troads.

Very nice well equipped sports car. Handles well and a good looking vehicle.

I don’t think the car is a good value at the current price. The top needing to be replaced and deep gouges in the paint made this otherwise beautiful vehicle a disappointment. The rope would have to be replaced and a paint job or wrap would be needed. The price should reflect the shortcomings.

Overall a good car, solid construction and nice features. Poor gas milage for a small car.

Mercedes introduced the CLK convertible back in 02', and the have not majorly redesigned the CLK. As the last year of the A209 production, this second generation 09' CLK350 is not that much different from the previous ones. With a 3.5L V6 engine pumping out 268hp and 258tq, it needs just a tad more power to haul its heavy convertible mechanism. The seats are moderately comfortable for a car at this price range, while the interior design should have been updated a long time ago. The navigation is the hardest ever to use; even the BMW iDrive is more user friendly than the Mercedes Nav of this generation. In terms of driving, the pickup is pretty good for such a heavy car, and when the top is down, one could care less about how fast it goes. Overall this is a great vehicle but not worth its price tag, in my honest opinion.
