Unexpected surprise, I was able to pick up my CLK320 Sport on Saturday and have covered 300 miles in it already.
The car is simply unbelievable!
Still learning some of the nuances of the car, for example;
If the left mirror adjustment button is down then the passenger-side mirror dips when in reverse and the cruise control with speed limiter functionality.
Really surprised that pedestrians still gawp at the car, the CLK should be a familiar sight on the road by now.
A couple of things need to be sorted out by the dealer this week, the cover on the alarm (?) unit above the driver-side seatbelt is missing and the lights behind the fan dial on the centre console dont work.
Two things are annoying from a build quality perspective;
1 - The interior light switch cluster is plasticky and feels like it is going to break,
2 - When you press the button to lower the rear headrests, they don't sink slowly but fall like a theatre stage trapdoor!
Other than that really love the car.
I have taken pictures and will post them this week.
Mods/extras in the pipeline;
a - Lose the star on the bonnet and get the flat badge (but not the star grille)
b - Handsfree car kit
c - GPS camera dedector (btw who updates the supplier's database with new/temporary speed traps?)
d - Cup holder
e - Parking sensor, I'm quite liking the idea of the electro magnetic version (metal strips inside the bumper), but do these detect concrete posts or only nearby metal objects? More importantly does the warning console integrate with the dash well or does it sit like a dashmount radar detector?
All in all, loving the car.
Any replies gratefully received!
