Pre Face vs Post Face lifted.
So we are in Florida for a while now and we took the auto train down. We took the 2009 CLK so now I have 3 CLK's in Florida at the moment. The issue is I just never realized until I drove them back to back how much better the 2009 one is vs the 2004. What a WORLD of difference. It does not even feel like the same car. Given one is a cab (04) and one is a coupe (09) but the 04 feels just awful. I still love it with the top down. Even the 05 CLK55 still feels like a solid car. Just my observations. If anyone is looking at a W209 I would highly suggest just buying post face lifted. Anyone else feel this way?

What exactly did you feel so different ? I test drove 2008 clk550 convertible (75k miles and in very good condition) about a month ago and .... it's exactly the same as my 2004 clk320 convertible (except couple of things which are much better on my car since they are new :-D )
Maybe it's just difference between coupe and convertible ?
