My CLS's First Birthday
It's been 1 year and 22K miles later (not a daily driver). The love fest continues.
What additional plaudits can I give it that haven't been already stated. Simply, it's a gorgeous luxury coupe with exceptional performance. I love shifting the smooth 6-speed and my wife likes to be seen in it.
Today I gave it a treat and replaced the cabin air filters.
There have been minor warranty issues: on the second day of ownership the CE light came on due to a disconnected purge-air wire this was immediately repaired although I fear that I likely caused it while wiping down the engine; secondly, the interior mirror broke and while being incorrectly repaired the dealer broke the windshield. The mirror repair was still incorrect and was completely repaired by another dealer.
The car is completely stock save the window tint which looks great on the nighthawk black.
Best features: power, 6-speed, HDSL, roominess, quality.
Worst features: cost, Michelin tires, premium gas.
Feature I wish it had: gear indicator on dash as I sometimes forget which gear I'm in (I can't count to 6 on one hand).
