Mercedes-Benz CL-Class road test reports and car reviews

Mercedes-Benz CL-Class CL500 2009

I can only hope my poor experience of the flagship Benz is isolated. I struggle to find a good word to say about my 9 months of ownership. One of the few positive aspects is that MB UK have agreed to buy this vehicle back. It has been hopelessly unreliable, various problem from delivery, it has been back to the dealer numerous times. The main body of issues are electrical, multiple software and hardwards issues, it was even delivered broken! Its let me down on more occasions than my first car, a 20yr old 1981 Mk1 Ford Fiesta. On the upside the supplying dealer has been sympathetic and has tried to keep me mobile at least although the huge amount of time and worry of all this i could have done without. When it works (on the very few occasions) its brilliant, however most of the time its a headache sat in the garage/recovery truck/hardshoudler etc., etc. Would I buy another CL? No way. Would I buy another MB? Maybe.
