Mercedes Benz CLK 230 Kompressor

My CLK 230K is one of two cars I own at this time. My other being a Volvo V70 T5 ?(tweeked).

I've owned the Mercedes for 7 months now, and it's used most days. It always starts and runs really well. Performance is good, but not quick like my Volvo. Driving the CLK is a pleasure, I'm 6ft 3in tall and well built, and can drive all day long in comfort. Not too much leg room in the back, but still provides comfort.

Today, I went from Manchester to Fleetwood a return journey of 107 miles, and got 40.04 mpg. Not bad for a supergharced 2.3L Automatic.

And the car looks really nice, black with 7 spoke wheels.

Bought this car 6 months ago as a daily hack. It's quick, economical, very comfortable, quiet and handles well. Above all it's been totally reliable. My wife loves it. The rear seats fold so its load capacity is almost equal to a van. On the road it feels planted and safe, floor it and it can go very well, it's no out and out sports car but the neither is it in any way harsh or challenging.

It's still used as a daily hack, but we've decided its a keeper. So it's being looked after.

These cars are total bargains, cheap to buy, good on fuel @ 35 mpg ish, very comfortable. Servicing via good independents inexpensive.

Nothing bad to say about the 230 clk, ours is rust free, but because we like it we will take preventative measures to ensure it stays that way.

One minus point, when the rear window gets wet in heavy rain, the view out of the rear view mirror can be compromised. Would have been better with a rear wiper.

brought a clk230 convertible looks good,goes fast and l give it heaps. No problems with it

I've owned this car now, 230k sport,for nine years, it's never let me down, EVER, starts every time even during the coldest days & it wasn't garaged. It's quick, stylish, reliable and solid. it's now up for sale, we've just bought a four door mercedes (as circumstances have changed within our family) but i will miss the old car terribly, the new car's great, it's newer, bigger engine, better on fuel but it's NOT the CLK. There was nothing about it that I didn't like.

I've just bought the CLK. We are Mercedes-people and wanted a convertible with some space, some power, good looks and a star on it's hood. we found this lovely little, big topless Benz and fell in love. In our two days and 500 km the stereo died and the BAS/ASR-light is warning us about something all the time, but it's a good everyday convertible that's looking amazing and is fun to drive. Thumbs up, MB!!

Mercedes Benz CLK 230 Kompressor has good handling

A very classy car

Although the Mercedes Benz CLK 230 is generally good mechanically. The number of niggling faults are expensive and should not occur on a so-called quality car. I think Mercedes deserted their quality controls in the late 90's-early 00's and I would not recommend them. My advice is to go for a BMW/Audi if you are buying a second hand German built car from that era.

I have had a Mercedes CLK 230K Cabriolet since 2001, and it will be a wrench to see it go. Supremely comfortable, plenty fast enough, a joy on any road. The only thing that has gone wrong with it in 6 years is a mildly irritating rattle from the heat baffle on the exhaust. Apart from that I find it hard to find fault.

The Mercedes Benz CLK 230 Kompressor is a great looking car, as long as its silver, face lift model with body kit and AMG alloys. I have owned many types of cars and I can without a doubt say that this one impresses me greatly. It's an absolute pleasure to drive.

I will be very sad to lose my Mercedes Benz CLK 230 Kompressor but expanding family means that I need a four door. Very comfortable and always seems to attract good comments from my clients, the car definitely has presence. Performance is more than adequate with good top speed acceleration, top speed and comfortable high speed cruising. The car has held its value well.
