Your reader reviews...

I wanted a well built, quick, comfortable, quiet and economical car to replace my old Porsche 911. The CLS ticked all the boxes. I really cant fault it and love it just as much as the Porsche.
Stan Radley 320 CDI

The CLS is my first Mercedes I previously owned BMWs, Audis and Jaguars. The car is excellent and, apart from needing a replacement steering rack and a new key fob, it has been fault-free.
Kevin Thorpe 320 CDI

Undoubtedly the most fabulous car weve ever owned it looks stunning, quality is flawless and the cabin makes every journey feel like an event.
Jeremy Knox 320 CDI I used to own an S-Class the CLS feels more than just 200kg lighter
