Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Power, handling, style. The flexibility to adjust your suspension and the timing of an awesome 7 speed transmission instantly transforms the vehicle for your mood and driving music. Soften it and adjust your seats 1,000 different ways for the long drive. It accelerates, corners, and brakes like a dream.
I've had STS Cadillacs, Vettes, and 3, 5, and 6 series BMWs. This car is more enjoyable to drive than any I've owned. The instrumentation and features are well thought out and with a lot of buttons on the panel, comfortable and intuitive to manage.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Turn lever and cruise control lever are very close together, but you get used to it on day two.
It's a complicated high tech vehicle from transmission to braking, and from throttle to suspension. You'll have to keep on top of a good preventative maintenance plan and expect an "occasional" issue. Nasa, Dell, Apple, Microsoft, Verizon, ADT, and the human body: Complicated systems and sometimes they hiccup or break. At one time or another every car I've owned had some issue that took effort to resolve.
Once the initial hassle was over it was long term trouble free driving.
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
The expectations are higher on a Mercedes. This car meets the expectation and they're rare on the road so attention comes from every corner.
You're going to love this car. It's elegant, sporty and yes the back seat could be a little bigger. Yet it's a 4 door coupe and considered from the proper perspective, the back seat area is actually quite accommodating and a terrific perk to this unique and amazing luxury sports car. I'm 6ft, 200 lbs., and comfortable in the back when friends beg me to drive it.
Enjoy!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
The stylish body is by far the best looking vehicle on the road.
The car hugs the road really good and the ride is excellent.
This vehicle turns a lot of heads.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
The cup holders are in the way and are very cheap.
The 7 speed transmission takes some getting use to really jerky at low speeds.
The navi is the worst and u would think by it being a Mercedes the radio would be nice.
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
My wife has a 2011 jag xf and I like the CLS much better. Had the vehicle for 8 months and had no service issues as of yet ( knock on wood) but still would not own this vehicle without a really good extended warranty.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Simply a beautiful car with excellent performance.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Always would like a few more horsepower, but not at the expensive of poor mpg.
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I've had mine for 2 years now and still am in love with the car. I'd had no issues at all and it turns heads wherever I go. With 0-60 in 5.4 I never get "left" at a light and it still gives me 18-20mpg without fail. Highway mileage is 23-24 cruising at 70-80.

The car is very sporty and it turned quite a few heads. Got a lot of compliments on its looks.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Please improve the visibility from the inside before accidents occur.
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I have driven this car 1600 miles from Springfield, MO to McAllen, TX and noticed many blind spots around the car that could cause me or my wife to have a car accident. Door jams are too wide,and windows are too small and narrow. Overall the car has poor visibility from the inside. The right hand mirror is obscured about one quarter by the passenger door jam.

Looks. Ride. Ease of operation of options
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
A little more head room in the back seats
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
I have never owned a vehicle that turns more heads than the CLS500. With its "E" class trunk and relatively long legs for a V8, it is a perfect blend as a true road trip car. Comfort, ease of operation (Unlike my previous BMW I Drive that took a computer programer just to go to the gas station) I opted for the NAV, Satellite radio and Tele-aid, all of which opertate perfectly and are very logically user friendly.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
The design of the car and the way it handles.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
The GPS can't hold a candle to my Lexuses. I've already wound up in the wrong location a few times with the Mercedes GPS. It needs an eyeglass holder, and the cupholders are inconsistent with quality and durability
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Needless to say it gets a lot of attention. It is a lot of fun to drive. I moved away from Mercedes a few years back due to quality. I went to Lexus and I was so bored. This car is anything but boring. It is a fun driver's car. It reminds you of the joy you felt when you first got behind the wheel. I'm just hoping that the quality is in this car.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
I would have taken a run at the AMG package, but there were so few available for sale.
2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Review:
Traded in my 2002 911 for something a little more "family friendly", but with some pizzazz. Couldn't be happier. I love the comfort, the styling, and the performance. It looks like it's going 80mph while still in park. It just is everything I wanted in a car.
