Reviews of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Cabriolet
-
CNET Review
The Good: The powerful engine, responsive steering, and adjustable suspension of the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 give it a sporting character. The Driver Multicontour Seat option lets you fine-tune seat comfort.
The Bad: The interface for the cabin electronics is unintuitive and not aesthetically pleasing. The cartridge six-disc changer makes loading CDs difficult and ID3 tags for MP3 tracks aren't displayed on the car's LCD. The phone system relies on a cradle rather than the more accessible Bluetooth technology.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK550 Cabriolet, while very enjoyable to drive, suffers from older cabin electronics. It has more than enough power and good performance characteristics, but for this kind of money, we would get something more up-to-date.
