Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG (2008-) Review

Category: Exotic Sports 4 out of 5

Summary of the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG (2008-)

Price Range: £45,950 to £74,555

Assets

Obscenely fast, grippy, fantastic to look at, plenty of safety features.

Drawbacks

Pricey, rear space is compromised, huge running costs, poor residuals.

Verdict

The standard CLS is no slouch, but this thing just raises the bar. It's a perfectly manageable high-class hot rod.

Mercedes CLS-Class Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

Mercedes-Benz is pulling itself up the rankings in customer satisfaction surveys and the E-Class, on which the CLS is based, scored particularly highly.

All the revised CLS versions we drove (including the AMG) felt classy, sturdy and likely to live a long and happy life, bearing out recent reliability surveys that suggest that owners are not finding any problems at all.
