2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK 430 review from North America
"Great car for a serious driver"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gas guage started to flicker. Ended up being a sending unit in the gas tank. Car still under warranty so it didn't cost a dime.
General comments?
Good acceleration off the line, but scary fast acceleration on the highway.
A real head-turner in bright red.
Interior is as good looking as the exterior.
