Few things feel as solid as a well-built Merc, and the CLK 55 AMG is no exception. Add to that driver, passenger and side airbags, ABS with Brake Assist, ESP (electronic stability programme) with ASR (anti-skid regulation) and race-issue brakes, and it's a pretty comprehensive all-round safety package. Security functions include the usual immobiliser and alarm system, and if that's not enough, the options list includes an extra deadlock for the boot (and a fire extinguisher).
