Professional Reviews

• “The CLK63 AMG we tested had a fluttering sound in the idle that was a bit annoying by Mercedes standards, but when we recalled it was a 475-hp engine, practically a race motor, it seemed a little less so.” — New Car Test Drive
• “In the CLK, the system is virtually transparent, intervening unobtrusively to prevent wheel spin, but without the heavy-handed reduction in power that marred some of its early applications.” — New Car Test Drive
• “The CLK63 has prodigious capabilities, but its super personality is marred by the steering, which feels lackluster compared to the rest of the car.” — Edmunds.com
• “The performance is astounding. The car has ridiculous amounts of lateral grip, exquisite transitional manners, fantastic braking and steering as lively and communicative as anything with a Mercedes star.” — Los Angeles Times
• “In general, the CLK is one of the sportiest cars in the Mercedes lineup.” — Automotive.com
• “[The CLK63 AMG] will out-accelerate, out-brake and out-corner all but a handful of four-place cars anywhere.” — Automotive.com
• “In a word, the CLK is balanced. Its stylish design and elegant interior make it a pleasant place to spend time, and it delivers Mercedes cachet that works in almost any circumstance.” — Automotive.com
• “The CLK is comfortable, but not numbing, so the steering feeds good information back to the driver about how well the front tires are gripping.” — New Car Test Drive
• “The CLK350 offers confident, stable handling, though serious enthusiasts are apt to prefer the sharper reflexes of the less expensive BMW 3 Series coupe.” — Edmunds.com
