They're excellent all-rounders. I only intended to keep mine for the duration of the review but the more I drove it the more impressed I was with it, and mine's done over 120k.

The 280 is a 3 litre v6 petrol

I've had this one for a while now, though I never intended too. It's the kind of car for which your appreciation grows and grows over time. It just does so many things so well that after a while it gets difficult to find something else with the same breadth of abilities. Great cars. You won't regret it.

The gearbox can be remapped ?!

@@Simon78 I meant the engine, but yes, the 7speed gearbox can also be remapped - it's quite common for a good tuning place to do both together.

C is comfort mode. I don't really like it as sometimes it will unexpectedly snatch down into first gear when pulling away on an incline or when moving off and you press the throttle a bit harder. I leave mine in sport mode most of the time so it always pulls away in first gear, and if you drive it with a light foot it still changes up the gears at the same time as it would in comfort mode, plus you have the added benefit of keeping first gear well oiled. You can reset the gearbox so it re learns your driving style. It takes about 3 minutes in total to complete. There are videos on RU-vid about how to do this. It does make a difference.

It’s helping getting traction in winter

I had the clk 270 cdi as it was the largest option with the manual gearbox can say its better than the autos

I think the clk is classier and a very good all-rounder. It's also rapid! I 0-60 tested it at around 6.6 seconds

I have a CLK500 V8 5.0 and a BMW E92 320D 184hp remap, i prefer the BMW for handling, sportness and steering wheel feeling, very superb . I found CLK's steering wheel a bit numb and the handling is not good as the Bmw , but when you have a V8 on it, you'll have a big smile too. Great car indeed , very good quality overall and very technological also for a 20 years old car, i love both😊

You're in luck the one in the video is now for sale. If you're serious I'll give you a number to call tomorrow.

...better still I'll put a link to the advert in the description.

@@DreamCarGarage1 ah. Ha.. OK. I'll check it out. Thanks!

Tax is £340 a year and mpg is 36 on the combined, which doesn't sound amazing but in reality you can get over 400 miles with mixed driving out of a tank of fuel.

@@DreamCarGarage1 thanks mate. So diesel is your recommendation? Let me know if you're selling 😅

The 5 speed box was left in the AMG and and the CDI sport because it can handle the torque, up to 1000 nm if memory serves me right. The CDI Sport got the same running gear as the AMG. The 7 speed box is ok, but they do need regular servicing whereas the 5 speed box is well proven and does not require servicing, But I did have mine serviced at a cost of 200 UK pounds. I was lucky I did that, as the sump was leaking slightly, the sump and filter was replaced as part of the service. The old oil wasn't that bad, but as I planned on keeping the car and it was 14 years old, I replaced all the fluids as a precautionary measure. Gearbox, back axle, and power steering.

It died 😢 😢 😢. Something hit the underneath of the car when I was driving and smashed some stuff and left a big hole.

@@DreamCarGarage1 aw no, what a shame! As Long as you’re alright though. Plenty of other cars about!

@@isaaccapes9921 I've got my eyes on a Fiat Panda 100hp.

@@DreamCarGarage1 what about an Audi A6 2.5 V6 Quattro 😂
