Steering- Soft and not as precise as a BMW.
Gas mileage pretty good (21mpg) for a car that weights 3400 lbs.
Top Speed Limited to 155
0-60, 5 seconds.
There are allot of other areas that the car shines
Comfort, Noise Levels, Stereo, Trunk (It’s huge and flexible; the rear seats fold down and there is a ski pocket.
Navigation system is cool, the steering wheel has stereo, Telephone, adjustments.
There’s more but that’s all I can remember.

Don't forget to mention that the stock radio sucks, the tires are small (17 inchers), and there is only one crappy cupholder...but other than that the car is awesome!!!!

Hmmm,
My car has four cup holders, Bose Speakers, and yes the stock tires are small. But that's an easy upgrade.

Yes Timster...believe it...only 1 cupholder!!! I don't count the ones in the rear armrest (I never use those). As for the speakers...mine say bose on them too...only one problem...they suck...it must be the radio...because my CLK430 had Bose speakers as well and that system rocked!!! As far as the tires go...I will grow to love them, after all, I am pretty cheap and don't want to pay $3-5K for new tires and rims.

Am I sorry I bought the CLK55??? No way in heck!!!
Am I a little disapointed in some aspects??? Yes!!
Would I buy another CLK55??? Hell Yeah!!!

Thanks guys, but for a 5.5 liter V8 engine, only 21mpg? thats kind of hard to believe, a 3.2 liter V6 kompressor [c32] gets equal gas a v8????

Man.....I thought 21 mpg was good. I love to hammer this beast and I average around 17 to 21 mpg, depending on my mood. Was it suppose to be higher than that?? This is a big V8....what were you looking for.....25 to 30 mpg??:p
