1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 review from North America
"Replaces a girlfriend quick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Trunk light broke at 61,000 miles.
License plate light broke 61,000 miles.
Passenger seat started squeaking. I just lined it with felt and it stopped.
General comments?
This car is the best car ever built. I not only get 27+ miles per gallon, but its quick and looks great. It's a total babe magnet.
The only problem is that maintenance is expensive when it needs to be done. Luckily for me, my car rarely needs to go to the shop except for a few electrical problems.
Oh yeah, you can't beat the turning radius on this baby.
