W208 or W209?

I'm thinking about picking up a CLK covertible and am torn between the 03 and 04. There are aspects of the styling that I can go either way. Please let me know your opinions and if there are any other considerations I should consider such as reliablility, etc.

Thanks

Already spending my stimulus check!

209 for, if nothing else, the fully automatic roof. Not sure about in the USA, but here in the UK it even works remotely from the key, 10 feet away. Is there a better "pose"???

This is so funny because the people from here pick the W209 !! The same question were also asked in the W208 forum. Guess what the other people from W208 forum pick. You guess it....W208 !! I currently own the W208 and W209 model. My pick.............the W209 model hand down !!!

Ive currently own a CLK500 and previously own a CLK430... The CLK430 was alot more exciting to drive! Hands down* That damn ESP Light kicks on in the 500 soon as the fun begins, so stand burn out arent happen in the w209 even on rainy days!!! =( Even with the performance draw back the W209 is still be far the better vechile! Plus it has more PoWeR! especially in top end* The ladies prefer the looks of w209 over w208 9 out of 10 -

You can turn the ESP off in the 500. I haven't driven a 430 but how can more power be less exciting? go with the 209.
