Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Reviews

"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."

"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."

"[The CLK63 AMG] will out-accelerate, out-brake and out-corner all but a handful of four-place cars anywhere."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The CLK63 has prodigious capabilities, but its super personality is marred by the steering, which feels lackluster compared to the rest of the car."

"The CLK350 offers confident, stable handling, though serious enthusiasts are apt to prefer the sharper reflexes of the less expensive BMW 3 Series coupe."

"In general, the CLK is one of the sportiest cars in the Mercedes lineup."
