  • This Mercedes-AMG CLS 53 comes in at $109,850 CAD (approx $83,000 USD), which seems like a lot, until you really take a close look at this car and its Inline-6 Engine. ... So this week, Thomas and James try to figure out if the CLS can own its AMG Badge.

      Actually the old CLS w219 was a piece of crap. I hated everything about it. After 2 years of owning it, it was literally falling apart. Traded it in for my current 2015 w212 and the E class blows it away in almost everything. IMO all the newer MB are much better built and reliable than the older ones.

    I’ve been a car enthusiast all along and I’ve had the opportunity to have and drive many cars. I recently purchased a CLS 2015 from a friend at a very decent price. I wasn’t ott at the beginning on my purchase but now having it 8 months, the CLS is one the most amazing cars: from driving turning cruising etc; For me it more so than a s class in overall practicality: have my eyes on a 53 amg:
