had a test drive last year and decided against one for exactly the two reasons you have listed - cramped interior feeling and sill too high

Also the suspension in the one I drove was too harse

I think they look superb, but personally couldn't live with the claustrophobic feel

Kiane same as me mate - love the way it looks, in fact it's bloody gorgeous! But the interior has me stumped - I'm a big ish bloke and just dont feel too comfortable in it - also as we have both said, you can't drive it with your arm on the sill...shame though as I love it - you can get a good 57 plate 320 CDI for just under £40K - not sure on either silver or black (not a silver fan but looks good on the CLS) - or might go for a new SLK - although don't like the rear of it.... 2007 RRS TDV6 HSE JAVA/EBONY SIDE STEPS, REAR GUARDS. 22'' STORMER WHEELS.

I had a look at the CLS back in 05 when they were released, and had a super spec 350 come through recently, which i transported from walsall to solihull, and its a great car..

Get used to the sill, and unless you sit in the back a lot, you'll get used to the shape of the car.
One thing though, they mostly have the light wood trim, which i hate! most dealers call it the ikea wood trim, but for some reason this is standard and you have to opt for the darker wood/black wood trim.

If you spot anything on, www.directmercedes.co.uk let me know the reg and i'll see if we can get you a price on it, we do a lot of cars through these guys, and generally get a good shout on the prices/stock.

If you could make do with a CLK, we're selling my sisters 2006/06 silver with super spec, 16k miles, trade bid on it at £24.5k, its all yours for that? command, 18" alloys, parking sensors,phone pre wire, comfort seats with ivory leather trim, black roof. Retail for around £27k.. Past: Bmw M3 Coupe 57, 335d Coupe 56, Audi RS4 06, RR Sport TD HSE 05,

Current:
57 Bmw 730d Sport,
56 Merc S320 CDI L,
57 Merc Viano L 2.2CDI,
05 Audi A8 3.0 TDI Quattro,

I would always go for the maple would trim - is it me, or do these cars not only look good, but represent excellent value for money - there are plenty of 07/57 cars with good specs for under £40K....maybe I will get on on demo for a weekend before I make up my mind.

Thanks for the offer of a CLK Kam, but not my cup of tea I'm afraid......but thank, will look on direct and see what they have... 2007 RRS TDV6 HSE JAVA/EBONY SIDE STEPS, REAR GUARDS. 22'' STORMER WHEELS. FULL COLOUR CODE. SMOKED SIDE LIGHTS

CLS's do look good, esp in AMG trim, but again I'm a big bloke and I don't fit so well. A friend of mine has just got into a 320CLS and he loves it, even though there's less space in it for the kid's stuff than there was in his previous FFRR.
