1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 Coupe review from North America
"Money well spent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown fuse.
General comments?
The '99 CLK is I think a perfect blend of Teutonic and exotic. It has the comfort and refinement that only a Mercedes Benz can provide in its own inimitable way. A calm, luxurious and inviting interior make the ownership experience to me one of the best. A Ferrari may corner flatter and sound racier, but the CLK is just as capable of putting a big grin on your face. It has a beautiful cabin with the coolest drink holder of any car I've ever seen. The brakes are strong and the steering is quick. It has a usable trunk and two well appointed rear seats for adults. The seats are the most comfortable and beautiful ever. The driving experience is addictive, because the car is so well equipped, rolls along with such ease and is such a complete package that you look forward to any time spent driving or being driven in it. Pace with grace is the way Mercedes Benzes perform on the road. The CLK320 Coupe does it all with superlative style.
