2001 Mercedes-Benz CL 55 AMG review from Romania
"Probably the best car a human can drive..."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
One bulb from the license plate.
I have to be honest, I own the car from 3 months and I can say that it had not the time to break.
But I know it's history, I bought it from a very good friend and the car is spotless!
In rest, nothing!
The "bad" point is the fuel consumption, 20L per 100km, in town. Outside town it's OK, only 12,5L.
General comments?
I owned some nice cars, I drived a lot! But this one is AMAZING!
I also owned an CLK 200 Kompressor (it moves like my grandma's car compared with the CL!).
The handling, the brakes, the acceleration, WOW!
And above all, the interior! When I'm in I always smile... So comfortable, and ergonomic, and soft.
All kind of systems for control, safety, comfort that you fell like in your home... OK, I stop here.
The good thing is that the new CL arrived so the price of this one and of the other, with face-lift will drop, it's a good decision if you have the money...
