Look, honestly, here's my experience driving the w209.

I got into the car, drove it around, y'know it was great for straight line, but when I got out of the car I found that I had grown boobs, a veejay, and my hair grew long, also my facial hair fell off.

I immediately got back into my w208 and when I stepped out of it after driving for a bit, someone handed me a Mr. Universe statue and mad naked hoes were all up on my ish.

I'm just saying, and it's a true story.

See your yourself..
2005 CLK 55


.

Hmmm....is that the US model car? Awhile back I searched Ebay for a Clk 55 with factory quad exhaust system option to get the VIN# so I can order the necessary parts to do the quad exhaust but could only found one car 2003 model. I just search Ebay and here's a few 2005 Clk 55 and non has the quad exhaust system, that's weird !!

eBay Motors: Mercedes-Benz : CLK-Class (item 280220905755 end time Apr-30-08 14:37:12 PDT)




eBay Motors: Mercedes-Benz : CLK-Class (item 290223281567 end time May-07-08 14:00:43 PDT)



Anyway, I decided not to go through and do a true factory quad exhaust by changing out the spare tire tube, right side muffler, right side heat shield, rear bumper....etc and alot of $$$$ for labors. In the end I went the EVOsport route that cost one owner for $4,000 !!! Mine cost less then $400 !!! I think the W209 is less girlies looking if you mods it. What do you guys think..........

Thanks for all the input. Now to find me a nice 02/03 430 cab.

So what sort of hit does the mileage take with the top down?

I do like linh's CLK500. Definitely has a more masculine, tougher look that most CLK500's. You did a nice job on it linh... Overall though, without the mods the CLK430 has the more masculine look and better lines. My wife has asked me a few times "if you were offered a new CLK would you take it in exchange for yours? My answer has always been no unless I could sell the new one, buy back my 430 (or a CLK55) and pocket the change. I just have a preference for the lines and looks of the CLK430 Cabriolet. 8 years later I still get frequent compliments on my Benz.

I like the W208 convertible unless the W209 has a rare color or some other special feature. The 209 looks alot like the Honda coupe that came out that year (photo from a magazine comparo below).
