2006CLK350 vs. 2005CLK500 significant differences please...

I'm considering trading-in our newly acquired 2006 CLK350 Cabriolet because the standard seat is so uncomfortable. I'm 5'11"/225 pounds and the lateral supports/bolsters push against and into my back.

I've found a comparable 2005 CLK500 Cabriolet that has the Driver Multicontour Seat option and the seat feels wider and much more comfortable.

Other than the obvious horsepower gain, 0 - 60 time reduction, 1 less mpg, spoiler, and the digital heat/ac control, can anyone please tell me the significant differences between the 2005CLK500 and the 2006CLK350...

Thanks!!

I think thats everything lol. It also has an AMG bodykit and rims. The torque is pretty significant. I also believe the grill is different (chrome with matching body color?) and the windows have a factory bluish tint to it (I think the 350 has greenish?). I drove both cars and I think the 500 just has better steering, but could be my imagination.

Go for the 500 you wont regret it. Im 6' 210 and I fit nice in the car..lol..I felt that it was a lil bit more comfortable than the 350 when I tried them both out. Good luck and either way youll be getting a nice care.
