I have 2005 cls55 amg and its a very beautifulcar handles like a racing car,you can feel the car completelyin your control,very fast goes up to 200km in 3rd gear in 10seconds,and the sound is just mad,once you drive the cls55 you get addicted and can not stop driving it everyday, you have to discipline your self very carefully, because of the performance you can easily hurt yr self unless you are very experienced driver. When you sit in it and hold6thr steering wheel You are in a different time zone,and when you put yr belts on and turn the key on you get so excited,all you have to do is just turn the key on and let it go,you dont hold the key to started. And that cold start sound is just madness,and you cant stop yr self driving it, just b4 i drive in to my drive way,i change my mind and drive through and have another5 min drive around the streets,on an open road if you kick it down all the way ,you cant keep holding the pedal down for long,because the monster engine just wont stay still,it just goes up to 200 km in 8 seconds last time i recorded,then i take my foot of the pedal becauseits just roaring like a mad, i have driven many nice cars,but this cls55 is an addiction!! Middle of the night you just want to take it out for a ride. You have to drive cls55 to understan what i mean. I also have 2007 cls63 amg and its just a madness,very beautiful very very fast like the cls55 amg ,but handling is just not the same,cls63 amg is a very very comfortable to drive and seats has more padding in it for yr comfort,and suspensions are more comfort, but handling is not the same as cls55 amg, cls55 amg is come a be part of yr body and mind when you sit and start driving it. I also have the 2008 cls350 with only a 36.000km on it very smooth very comfortable keyless entry car,but nothing like cls55 amg,

looks great but 7-gtronic gearbox is terrible also watch for oil leaks and suspension issues headroom in the rear is very tight for 5 footers too

Best car I have ever owned. This is a must if you desire looks, comfort and safety. The design and functionality is timeless. With a vehicle weight of almost 4000 lbs the 2006 CLS 500 owns the road.

This car has been an absolute blast to own; it is extremely fast and comfortable; it has an ability to eat up mileage like no other car I have owned. The predominant characteristic of this vehicle is the engine; it is a handmade supercharged v8 that produces a massive amount of torque throughout the rev range, it feels as accelerative at 70 mph as it does at 20. The benefit of the 55 (5.4L Supercharged) series AMG vehicles over the later 63 (6.2L NA) is the torque and cost of ownership, the engine (M113K) and transmission in this vehicle are known to be extremely reliable and have been used in many different model (S55, SL55, E55, CLS55, ...) over the years with very few issues, it is also relatively inexpensive to modify.

Looks great, comfortable, but. As with all Mercedes Cars, the auto gear box is troublesome, and unreliable, no matter how much money you spend.on it. I've had several Mercs, and the gearboxes ALWAYS gave huge trouble.

This car meets all the requirements that I have for a car. Mercedes Benz went hard in 2006. This car is quiet and sensitive but if you press the S and put it in manual this car flys like a bat out of hell. And it’s luxurious also.
