Question CLK500 Satisfaction Rate

This is for us who have our CLK500's already..

On a scale from 1-100, where does your overall satisfaction rate fall ?

I give it 80~89.
Plus :
Continuous improvement found in W209 vs W203
Lighter parametric steering
Smarter rain sensor fool proof design
Better feul pump design
Foldable side mirrors, all screws are covered.
Thief loves the design of screw uncovered(W203,W208,W210,W211)

Minus :
Defect in my speedo meter & gas indicator, warranty a new one.

While my one_year_old C32AMG get zero defect & deserve 90+

LOL bagwell

This is what i was trying to subtly get at-

I haven't heard any very negative reports yet from 209 owners (I would still like to hear any reports if there are)- so at this stage, yes, I'm assuming it's just sourpuss 208 owners
