Have a W208 CLK soft top and she is an absolute pleasure to drive.

Fuel economy isn't that bad, gets low 30's when on the open road, OK round town not as good but again same applies to most cars if you're wearing lead boots! Would presume the hard top versions would be slightly better as they probably weigh a fair bit less.

Plenty of power so when you want to be a bit of boy racer, it's there and you'll be the wrong side of 70 in no time but she'll plod around town nice and easy all day long.

The V6 in the W208 is fantastic.

Quite possibly the most reliable engine Merc has ever produced.

Dreaming of a CL55k - one day maybe....
320 all day long.

230K underpowered and just nasty noisy engine.

If you do a lot of miles LPG it, if you don't - don't bother.

I've got the SLK320 and the engine is a jewel. It is a second (posing) car but I love driving it. The engine really suits the 6 speed auto box...or is it the 6 speed auto box suits the engine.

Love it.
