I'll cover everything about this 2001 Mercedes-Benz CL500 

I have an 04 I’m inlove with this car 5.3 V8

My CL500 will be coming out of it's winter hibernation in a couple of months and I can't wait to drive it again. It provides a moderately sporty drive with some driver engagement but the emphasise is definitely on luxury and a super smooth ride. The ABC suspension is fundamental to the ride quality of this car so please ignore all those RU-vidrs who tout ABC replacement with coilers. They are idiots! One point of contention with your review. The CL500 is not a small car, it is enormous and you need to think ahead about where you are going and parking.

Beautiful sporty car. Timeless design.

I love these. You did miss some of it's best features though. The suspension can't be beat even from a brand new car today. In sport mode there is Zero body roll. The doors and trunk have a soft close feature. You were slamming the doors. You just let the door touch the body of the car and they close the rest of the way by themselves. The glass in it is infrared blocking which keeps the heat out of the car. Side glass has 3 layers, 2 glass 1 plastic to minimize sound. and on and on. I realize this was posted a year ago but had to mention the soft close dooors and the best suspension put in a car to this day. (As long as it doesn't have issues. If it does you can plan on spending some bucks on it) I have one in the garage. Love it.

I’d love a pillarless coupe, especially a CL. I might have been scared off of the airmatic suspension from spending countless hours watching Alex from LSC fight to get his working! They’re lovely when they’re working right though.

1:02 Bro really said "its a small car" when it is over 16 feet long (almost 5m) 💀

Great car. Great review. Video much enjoyed, I am now buying one.

Love this review. I have just picked one up thanks to your review it was great ❤❤

I had a CL500 nice car, but if I were to get a Benz from this era with the 500 engine again I'd get the CLK 500 or ditch the V8 and get the SL 350 and stay away from ABC and stick with coils and springs. No Air Matic or ABC Hydraulic suspension for me again thanks, nope..

I had a 2000 from 2008 -> 2013, was a fabulous thing when working (lots of electrical gremlins), the double glazed windows stopped one tea leaf from getting in. Boot does open fully - prob a setting set somewhere or double push. One to you totally missed was the ABC suspension (had no issues with mine) - best & most scary feature of these cars & why they are so cheap today... Would love a CL55K at some point before prices got nuts to sit along my XKR X150 - can't have enough supercharged V8s :-)

The car designed to carry 4 people comfortably, not 5.

We're going to hear what the torque is like? I can't wait to hear how torque sounds... Can you also tell me if there is a difference between the pre-facelift V12 and the turbo please?

I have an '01 CL600, a real ooker. But it overheats and won't pass inspection.

Great review buddy

I had an 05 loved it

What does the little airbag button in center do?

Good morning 😂

Hey man could you share the digital copy of that manual book you showed at 6:52

Haha. The mileage is low because it was broken down all the time so the owner was afraid to drive it

Want

Do you still have the car? You should check the cup holder. There's two and one it falls out dude

CL stands for Coupe LIGHT not Luxury.... :)

Known as a Land Yacht...Mercedes made no money from this car, exotic materials to make it light cost too much...suspension was its achilles heel ..otherwise used the S500 engine which was reliable for the 5L model..very comfortable cruser...10yrs ahead of it's time when it came to the market...

"small car". This thing is 5 meters long lol

Likable twit,didn't cover everything but entertaining none the less

Its a money pit.

Had to stop the video after a couple mins watching because of the amount of things you said wrong about the car… just triggering.

Worst Mercedes ever made. Nice looking but the suspension is the worst for everyday driver

It’s not sporty

WRONG, Engines start at 3.7 ltrs

It could carry 4 people This car, back in 2000 was THE shit. Almost as luxurious and comfortable as a RR, but more dynamic and young. One day she'll be mine. Mercedes "Designo" customization program allowed you to choose marble stone interior trim. You missed and misoperated many things....
