Another perspective of the CLS55

FWIW..

Quick background....

I had a new 2001 M3 convertable. First one delivered in Utah.
I liked the car, never did seem to be as fast as I thought it would be, roof squeaked.

Had a new 2001 E55.
Loved the car but had nothing but annoying problems for the short time I had it.

Had a new 2003 Lexus GS430.
Beyond disappointed in the performance. Didn't like it at all

Had a new 2003 M5
Really liked the car, Kept it for 2 years

Had a new 2004 Porsche Turbo Cab.
Beat the crap out of me. Gladly sold it after 8 months because I needed the money.

Picked up my CLS55 last August. Traded the M5 for it. Coming up on 9,000 miles.

I love this car. one more time...

I LOVE THIS CAR

Can't get laid?? buy a cls55

So, if you are wondering about this car, wonder no more.

The car rules in every way possible

Exclamation There is NOTHING better!!!!!

idrivatitleist - I completely agree with you. It does not get any better than the CLS55 and I am also very impressed with the added 030 Performance Package option on my CLS55.

The Style, the Luxury, the Acceleration, the Braking, the Handling, the Sound, the feel of the Motor thru the accelerator peddel. It is a "Motor Head's" dream car, all with substantial After Market tuning support so you can personalize your CLS to your liking.

I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!! I LOVE THIS CAR!!!!!
Sorry I get carried away every time I think about how I feel about the CLS55 - Bob

So here's a question. Once I finish school im going to sell my CLK and either get a CLS500 (hopefully CLS55) or a Carrera 4S (hardtop). I love the CLS and I think it would be the perfect car. I love the look (interior and exterior). Its a big mean looking car and it has speed but, I am leaning more towards the carrera 4S because I feel like the CLS to much big of a car for me and I want something more of a sports car with better handling. Now I have no idea how the CLS55 handles and I refuse to test drive one unless im going to buy it so I wont be disappointed if I dont end up getting it. I basically want a fun fast car and I car take quick sharp turns in and well u know... do you guys think the CLS will be satisfying to what I want? I refuse to test drive these cars until its time because I will never want to drive my car again.

I have to agree. It was difficult to get rid of the Ferrari my lifelong dream. People (mainly guys) would follow me for miles waiting for me to stop so they could see the car up close. Folks would hang their cell phones out the window of their cars so their friends could hear the motor. Well that does not happen with the CLS BUT..........

As I pass by in a much more subtle way in the CLS, The MILFS in the Lexus's and minivans, babes in the convertables and all women in between cannot take their eyes off the car. The only other chick magnet I have that works better is my wifey.... And well....... that is not a topic for any thread on this forum....
