Hi guys I am new to the site, I am 19, I had a CLK 320 ELEGANCE 99 Model as my first MB, 1 year later I have a CLK 320 AVANTGARDE 00 Model, The first thing i noticed, was the improvement in performance, the kickdown worked a lot better, seemed quicker acceleration and gear changes. Is it just generally because it's a model up? Or my old one could have been ramped? Any ideas would be very grateful!!
P.s. i know there are a lot of other changes, but im on about the performance only

Welcome to forums,

There can only be performance difference in these if the first one had sumot wrong with engine (could be as little as requiring service or MAF require clean) but otherwise both should have same V6 with same power output connected to same semi auto box.

As above - no mechanical difference - so yes, your first one wasn't well I suspect and perhaps you need to find a better mechanic if they allowed you to drive around in a poorly car without knowing.
I hate to think what the insurance is for a 19 year old on a 320clk.

Probably worth it due to the 'babe magnet' effect :)
