I have only seen one car that had any problems with the soft top and thats cause when the truck driver unloaded it he hung it up on something and ripped on the internal cables, so not the cars fault. I personally like the coupe more because it handles slightly bettery. But unless that is your top priority which I doubt it is, then go with the cabriolet. Its great to be able to let the top down. But my #1 suggestion is to get a CLK550 cabriolet with the AMG sport package. You will love that car to death. Good luck.

Get the Cabriolet. No question. You'll enjoy it much more. There's a reason why the Cabriolet is roughly $10K more than the coupe. It's because it's worth it. In fact, I find that I feel more secure in my Cabriolet than I did in my coupe. That might be because the coupe was a '02 and the Cabriolet is an '06. As for flex, after 10 minutes behind the wheel, you'll never notice it again.
