hey bmlexus
I have my heart on buying a MB. I love the way the CLS looks but if I decide not to get the cls I would look at the E550 4matic. I want the keyless go for sure. I will keep searching the web for info and I'll keep everyone updated. Thanks for the info.

Sorry you are having problems with your cls. I've had my 09 since September and have had zero problems and love the car.

Is the CLS reliable? by califjohn1

Thinking about getting rid of my X3 and getting a CLS. The X3 has 35K miles and never been in the shop except for the (free) scheduled oil changes and service. I like the car but hate the very rough and harsh ride. I have had several M-B's in the past and always found them very reliable, although expensive to maintain. I suspect that may well be the case today. I don't want another BMW but might consider the Audi A5 which I like about the same as the CLS. One thing that does concern me is the visibility from the CLS, that swoopy style has to have some effect. Is it something you get used to or is it a very difficult thing to live with?

my 09 cls550 is great and a real head turner. no problems at all. would like to find chrome wheels but so far no luck. only want the ones just like came with it only chromed because they changed the style for 09 and it's one of the few cues that it is a 09. people talk about the sight line out the rear sides but it's never been a problem for me so i guess you get used to it.

Thanks for the quick response! I guess I will just have to drive one to see if the rear sight line is a problem. I love the look.

I have the same problem, even used the button in the car to call the Mercedes help people and they couldn't do it. If you figure it out, tell me. My friend has one and hers' works.

Cost of my first maintenance by mccrarym

I am at about 13k, and it is time for my first maintenance. It is a leased vehicle, any chance it will be free? I'm afraid it is going to kill me!
 
thanks

I have a 2009CLS550. The COMAND System is equipped with Bluetooth and it synced seamlessly with my cell phone and uploaded my phonebook. The problem is that COMAND automatically reversed all of my entries. I enter names as First Name, Last Name and the system recorded that as Last Name, First Name so I have to speak the names backwards. What's worse is that it also garbled entries that contained a name and location such as John Doe Home. It recorded these randomly as Home John Doe or Home Doe John or Doe Home John so that that there's no uniform system for such entries. When I discuss this with Mercedes the initial reaction is that they never heard of such a problem, something I find hard to believe. After getting a long runaround calling different service centers I finally got someone who also never heard of this but, after discussing it with his colleagues, got back to me and said that this is the way the system works and it can't be changed. The whole thing is idiotic - why would you design a system that defeats the customer's preferences. Has anyone else run into this problem?
 
Thanks.
