Do You Want A Vehicle That Looks Nice, Performs Well, Comfortable, Safe And Easy To Maintain?
Continued: I’m not much of a car enthusiast. I just want a vehicle for myself that looks nice, comfortable, performs well, safe and easy to maintain? I’m looking at Mercedes brand though.
Next we have the Coupes. Mercedes has 3 classes of coupes: the CLK, CLS and CL. In each class there are several body styles and each with its own makeup. The CLK series comes in either as a Coupe or Cabriolet. Fyi, Mercedes is one of the manufacturers that use engine displacement in the nomenclature.
• 350 series – 3.5L 268 hp V6 engine
• 550 series – 5.5L V8, 32 valve engine
• 7-speed driver-adaptive electronically controlled automatic transmission
It’s a rear wheel drive, 2 door 4 passenger car that’s classified as a subcompact by the EPA. Simply looking at both the 350 and 550, one can say that the 550 has a manly or sporty look to it whereas the 350 has an almost refined, cultured maybe even dainty look to it.
Looking in your eyes take in the active ventilated leather seats, the Harman Kardon seven-channel digital surround-sound stereo, the steering wheel mounted controls and the COMAND System with Hard Drive Navigation among other things. Tucked away are the Four side-impact airbags. The Coupes come with full-length side curtain airbags while the Cabriolets have front seat side impact airbags that provide head and thorax protection.
