Luxury is synonymous with Mercedes, and the CLK lives up to that name.
Standard equipment is generous, and the interior is swathed in wood and leather.
But this Benz is no slouch in the driving satisfaction department. Mercedes asserts that the 320 Coupe goes from zero to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds. Either car feels well balanced in turns, but a little heavy. The 320 drives more like a sedan than a sports car - surefooted and steady rather than agile and quick. The speedy 430, on the other hand, is tuned for a firm ride and taut handling.
