A positive post for a change, as opposed to the usual problems etc.

For me, there are too many to mention. Here are just a few praises :

- A timeless, classic MB coupe. It's always a delight to walk up to it. It's pretty from all angles.
- Massive boot, enough for two sets of golf clubs and other junks
- Very low running cost

As a cab owner, I can say it's one of the very, very few cabs that looks beautiful top up and down. And it's the only 2+2 cab that I find visually appealing from all angles.

I loved its Awesome power, great tourque, comfortable ride, great car to be in if you want to be seen and also for cruising on long journeys, great electrics, the styling of the car is timeless and has much street presence, Lots of safety features.

Great comments all round! I'm too very much in love with this W208 shape that this is my second car of the same shape. The first was a humble 230 and now the 55 is just out of this world. I almost bought the 320 cabriolet but the boot was just a little too small for my lifestyle. Otherwise, it would be in my garage right now. I've had 30+ cars over the years and the only two cars I ever get "nice car" comments were the 350SL and this CLK shape. It's a nice feeling

2000 clk 430 convertible
I love my car i don't like the new ones you may think i'm crazy but I drove alot of the newer models and they don't feel like a Mercedes no more on this models you fill like a heavy car and even the looks on the cuts on the body are alot better I hate the new cluster looks like Toyota for me lmao. So that's what I think

It's a classic already and will only get more desirable over the years. Mine's definitely a keeper.

I absolutely adore the styling. It has a rakish sleek profile, but is butch enough that you imagine Tony Soprano stepping out of it, and dumping some guy out of the trunk.

-It's a superb grand tourer.
-I get so much hate from BMW drivers. Especially 3 series owners who can't afford the M3.
-Stupid amounts of fast available. Great for swatting away pesky Civics.
-It's a Mercedes, there's a reason Janis Joplin sang it's praises.

damn, you guys are in LOVE with your w208s!
my CLK430 is just a daily-beater..... V8, simple dash, good A/C.

If only my CLK430 had a 6speed manual trans.......

my M3 and 850ci are the weekend warriors, and weekday garage queens!

CLK320
i think the best thing about my clk 320 is my 18" AMG rims and my H & R lowering springs making mad people on the road turn heads, just bought a new pair of AMG rims also going throw on make my brembro calipers stand out now. clk 320 is a good looking car to hook up if u got money for it
