2003 CLK500
Talking Finally picked it up today...

Originally had ordered the 320, but heard it might be a little underpowered. Sure glad I switched to the 500.
(Sorry about yellow color of pic, it was starting to get dark)

2003 CLK320
Love the car but one problem

I love this car. I got the 320 with sports package and the tires are great. The car sticks to the ground very well. I love everything about this car except there is one problem. Sonce the first drive I realized that I was getting static in my am and fm reception. On certain songs I also got static but very little of it. But no one else can hear it with the cd. Today I realized that the driver tweeter that is near the a pillar isn't working. I tested it to make sure and put the radio really loud and put my ear next to it and could not hear anything. Checked the left tweeter and it was fine. So I have to take it in. I have 500 miles. Everything else is fine and I don't have the wiper problems people are talking about. I think that the speakers and antenna need changing. Anyone have or had this problem.

My bad man. i was trying to make a new thread and accidentally put it in your post. Very nice car. Good thing you went with the 500. I have the 320. It is good but maybe a little underpowered. But Im not gonna argue as I am 17 and my dad payed for it all The yellow of the picture reminds me of sunset here in florida especially at the beach.

CLKs in white are just stunning! Very beautiful!

BTW, I like your screen name... great for a personalized plate if you do decide to get one

Underpowered? Yeah.....

True it seems the CLK320's are underpowered at 215 hp, but they do get up and go in the 40-60 MPH range. Besides, who needs a 500 when you have a RED CAR like mine below?

Anyway, good looking car. I'm really impressed what DC did with the 320's and 500's this model change. The cars are super looking!
