Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2007

5 star review

I am still in love with the CLS even though she went back over a year ago now ......I now drive an E-Class 280 sport and it is a very good car and in some ways more sophisticated, but i am not in love with it. If you get it you’ll get it, once you have driven a CLS nowt comes close.

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 320CDi 2008

5 star review

Just bought my CLS 320CDi in April 2009. It’s actually a 1 year old. I had a C class before which I felt was a little cramped for a family car and wanted to upgrade to an E class, but since test driving the CLS I knew I had to have one! What can I say? It’s an awesome car performance and look wise. Its the type of car that you can’t wait to drive it again. Real Class!

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 2006

5 star review

Well if you want a car that fits the person this is it. Had mine for over 2 and a half years now and it has never let me down and I always feel proud to drive it. The drive is excellent and you also get 35mpg about town and up to 40mpg on a run which is excellent for a big car. Even now people comment on how it looks and love it when I invite them to go for a drive in it. Go on, you know it makes sense!

Dear Graham, You mention that your CLS does 40mpg. Is it a V6 diesel or a straight 6 diesel? Please reply davidbeaumontfca@waitrose.com - David Beaumont from Nottinghamshire

5 star review

My CLS500 is still the best car on the road by far. I used to stay in Harrow, but have since moved back to South Africa. I am waiting in anticipation for the new CLS500 to come onto the market. I will be one of the first people in line to get it. The CLS500 has awsome power, womb-like comfort, sexy styling and I just can’t find anything wrong with it. Well done to Merc for producing the best all-round car......ever!

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class 320CDI 2006

5 star review

I have only owned the CLS for a few months; this car is fantastic i love everything about it, by far the best car i have ever owned. This is the 14th Merc that i have owned over the years, the last one was a W211 E-Class which i thought was great but the CLS knocks spots off it. The CLS is a very powerful beast, very smooth, a great cab, but most of all is its LOOKS, every time i get it out of the garage i just stand there looking at it (sad i know).

5 star review

What can I say.....a dream car, a majestic car, a sexy powerful beast, the ultimate in comfort, pure pleasure to drive and it mine. Even high-end bikes tend to stay clear of my CLS 500! Merc has built the perfect car and its called a CLS 500!

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class CLS 55 AMG

4 star review

After driving other variants of the AMG badge within the Merc range I thought I knew what to expect from this car......... I was wrong! It is an absolute monster of a car who's engine just keeps on going and going with relentless power. In my opinion a better bet than the M5!.

My wife fell in love with this car as soon as she saw it, a first for her. I personally don’t think you can compare this car to any other. I couldn’t even consider driving anything else now.
