2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK 430 review from North America
"Fast, strong, and stylish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The sunroof when closed squeaks and the rear headrest also squeaks when going over firm bumps.
General comments?
The car is fast and strong. The instrumentation is functional and straight forward. The steering wheel does not tilt and therefore does not afford the most comfortable driving position. Interior is clean, but lacks some of the finer touches such as leather on side doors or in the center console.
