#13 of 98 350 v 500 Cab by mkcab Jul 04, 2005 (6:47 am)
Replying to: gte864f (Jun 13, 2005 8:19 pm) With the increase in hp for the 350 cabriolet, is the 500 really that much better? I also understand that this might be the last year for that 500 engine, that it will be beefed up in 2007. I currently drive a '99 CLK 320 Cab and I'm ready for an upgrade to allow more power, handling, navigation, iPod control. I've also read differing opinions of Comand Nav system. Can it be that much worse than a portable Garvin? Replies to this message: ajb723 (Jul 06, 2005 6:44 am) oahu50 (Jun 25, 2006 8:37 am) tla1963 (Jun 25, 2006 10:39 am)
#14 of 98 Too bad... by habitat1 Jul 04, 2005 (7:57 am)
..the CLK cabriolet doesn't have anything that remotely represents a sport package with a sprot tuned suspension, short throw 6 speed manual and other handling enhancements.   I am getting dangerously close to spending $90k to $100k for a new 911 or 911s Cabriolet because it is the only sports car that gives me the option of a mini rear seat for my daughters. For whatever reason, the M3 just feels too much like a sedan.   On the other hand, it's probably unrealistic to think that Mercedes will ever make "sport" a priority. After testing the $55k SLK against the $32k S2000 and $62k Boxster S, it comes in a distant last place as far as driving dynamics, albeit an improvement over the previous generation.

Replying to: mkcab (Jul 04, 2005 6:47 am) I'm now 3 months into my 2005 CLK320 and overall I'm pleased. I couldn't wait for the 350 to appear. Yes, it could use a little more punch and it doesn't handle like a sports car. But it is smooth, comfortable, and has enough speed for my needs. Have no complaints at all about the Nav system which is quite easy to use.

Replying to: whosyourdaddy (Aug 12, 2005 3:10 am) You got a few extra horses and a little more torque..... Actually its 268hp and 258lb-ft of torque. Unless MB is using the SAE method and got some extra torque and lost one horse?   M

Anyone have any opinions on the Mercedes-Benz CLK350 Coupe? I plan on purchasing one, but wanted some info first. Replies to this message: mkcab (Aug 20, 2005 7:59 am)

Replying to: starbucks (Aug 19, 2005 5:37 pm) I took delivery of a CLK350 Cab about 3 weeks ago and it's great. Even though I'm in the 1000m breakin period and have been driving in Comfort mode it has great reserves of power and it hugs the canyon roads (much better than my '99 CLK Cab). I've driven it hard in Sport Mode and can't wait until I hit 1000m. It looks sharp both inside and out. It's Cadet Blue/Ash loaded with Keyless Go, Premium Stereo (just OK), Active Ventilated Seats (subtle, but effective), Lighting Package. Since the Cab is heavier than the Coupe I think you'll get better performance. I was considering the 500 but I wanted better fuel efficiency and a more nimble car. Good luck with your decision
