Күн бұрын

This Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 comes in at $109,850 CAD (approx $83,000 USD), which seems like a lot, until you really take a close look at this car and its Inline-6 Engine. ... So this week, Thomas and James try to figure out if the CLS can own its AMG Badge.

Actually the old CLS w219 was a piece of crap. I hated everything about it. After 2 years of owning it, it was literally falling apart. Traded it in for my current 2015 w212 and the E class blows it away in almost everything. IMO all the newer MB are much better built and reliable than the older ones.

@MrZillas 5 жыл бұрын

Great car. I had the old original version of this car and it was awesome. Real head turner. The air matic worked really well and much better than my 2011 E550. Here is the opportunity for someone to make a comment about how to make it a little more firm in both modes. No complaints about the new car just not as good handling wise as the old car.

@twilson4159 5 жыл бұрын

I would buy it. I know that the V8 isnt available for the CLS but I think that the driving experience that you get with the new engine and this new technology that Mercedes uses might make up for it.
