Question help CLK63 or CLS63?

Hi guys

please tell me how the CLK63 & CLS63 compare in features / drive etc

I know CLS63 has aircomfort suspension & E-class chassis

They're almost same price here

To me it is luxury vs. sport and they represent two different markets.

The question is more, what is your intended purpose as that is perhaps a better guide to fit.

young adult, previous cars Lexus is250 & bmw 135i

prefer sporty car hence CLK, but CLS seems more value for money.

so I just want to know comparisons of features / drive / reliability etc before choosing

FWIW

CLK seems to have less luxury options than CLS.
Both AMG have the 63 motor.

Both can be or not be dependable...just check service history.
63 motors can have valve train issues.

At least CLK really has no serious issues.
Try the CLS forum for insights there.

Both have four seats, yet not sure which is better for rear passengers.
Head room issue in CLS, knee issue in CLK.

Since the CLK is a coupe, for street I'd be swayed toward the CLS.
If autocross or track use CLK.

Good luck in your decision
