Newbie w/2005 CLK55 AMG Cabrio Questions
Hello All:
Nice to be on this forum -- looks to be a great crowd here! I have started looking for a nice used 2005 CLK55 Cabrio since I work for Karmann and we have a nice relationship with M-B on this car
. Can you help wth some questions?
1. Driving experience? What is this car like to drive on daily basis? Comfort, handling, brakes, acceleration, body stiffness (top down), and noises/rattles.
2. Bluetooth -- is this a feature available on the car? Do I need a separate number or will my Bluetooth Blackberry sync?
That's really it -- would love to hear your comments. If anybody lives in Detroit area, would love to wrap with you about your car.
Thanks all,
BG

I have an 05 Cabrio - love the car. A great daily driver. I live in FL and we get a ton of rain in the summer. Very good top and seal. Yes, there are the occasional squeek, but generally pretty damn quiet. I have 18k on the car. Not sure about the bluetooth. I also spend a lot of time in the car on the phone for work. Easy and fun to drive!

1. Driving experience? Very comfortable to drive daily (Especially the drivers seat). Handling and brakes are excellent. Its' a convertible so it will squeak and rattle a bit and more as it loosens with age.

I have a 2005 and I love it. It is extremely comfortable and up until a few days ago it was my daily driver. I drove it from Denver to LA, then back to Cleveland over a two week period. Couldn't ask for a nicer car. I am bummed she is laid up for the winter.
