Anyone own a CLS?

Actually Fox there is a really really really really and I do mean really small possibility he may be right.

There was a small unnoticeable period were Mercedes automatics and really chuffed up mechatronic units fitted. Added with confusing EGS software and it did lead to some odd characteristics.

type cls and gearbox into google, dont even press enter. the second suggested answer is mercedes cls gearbox problems and then look at all the forum entries, both us and uk ones.
 
no, its what the dealer implied to them, and no, if you type honda engine/gearbox into google, it doesnt come up with "problems" immediately
 
You forgot the word "problem" Matt. I think what Fox is suggesting is that no matter what level of reliability you have you can find problems on the internet as it's mostly problems that tend to get discussed.


You have the luxury of long term ownership, mine is merely a perception after trying (albeit briefly) both.

Whilst in this instance, I do prefer the petrol, rest assured,you don't have to sell me the virtues of meaty torque... ;)

Indeed, like I said it's purely subjective. My perception would almost certainly be different had I bought a petrol version.
