People who are accustomed to a dynamic style of driving, just like will be satisfied, because this transmission can jump over the steps. So it is possible to reach the necessary speed of crankshaft as quickly as possible.

But people who are used to controlling the car will also be satisfied. After all, under the wheel are the "petals" for manual gear changes.

Behavior on the road

People who own the Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 coupe pay special attention to its dynamism. This car behaves on the road as a sports car, despite the fact that under the hood he has a little less than two hundred "horses". The car has an aggressive driving style. It starts instantly, reacting sharply to the actions of the driver, and its acceleration is felt superbly. Manageability, thanks to the full 4MATIC drive, is clear and well-defined. A person driving this car will never face such problems as drifts, rolls, skidding and grinding.

By winter, this car is also adapted - in the snowy period, you can adjust the suspension and feel like driving a crossover. And if a person wants to enjoy the comfort of his car and the softness of the move, then you can simply transfer the transmission to a "comfortable" mode. And the suspension, too.

The owners, who leave the Mercedes CLS 350 reviews, assure that this car was created in order to enjoy it. On it you can go without violating the speed limit. But the pleasure from the process will be indescribable.

Equipment

Talking about the Mercedes CLS 350, we can not fail to mention the equipment included in the list of basic equipment.

This list includes the "Eco Start / Stop" function, speed-dependent power steering, particulate filter, brake lining wear indication, ABS, ASR and ESP with a 3-stage control program, an emergency braking system and collision warning, as well as Assistant, controlling fatigue driver. In addition, there are window inflatable curtains and airbags for the protection of the pelvic girdle (in addition to those that are standard and common), an immobilizer, a DZ with a remote control.

Still there are such useful trifles as an external temperature sensor, a folding armrest with a storage compartment, an analog clock in the dashboard, coasters, an internal rear-view mirror with auto-darkening, a 2-zone "climate", interior lighting and even a load recognition system in the passenger seat . And all this is not even 1/10 part of the equipment available in the Mercedes CLS 350.

Functionality

This topic can not be left without attention. Even the owners in all their reviews mention the amazing functionality of the CLS 350.

Especially they like the multimedia system Audi 20 CD, which combines telecommunication, entertainment and information capabilities. Many compare it with a computer. With this system, you can connect to the Internet or connect to the phone via Bluetooth, which has the function of streaming audio recordings and hands-free. Also with it, you can transfer contacts and addresses from the smartphone to the head unit of the machine.

Even the owners note the attention of the voice controlled navigation system Garmin, available optional. It displays buildings and streets in 3D, and still provides photorealistic support.

And still people recommend to order an optional entertainment system for passengers, which includes two wide color screens, a diagonal of 17.8 cm.

Comfortability

This I would like to say at last. All owners of this car unanimously agree on the opinion - the comfort of the CLS 350 is at the highest level. This elegant coupe can even be practical. After all, thanks to the EASY-PACK-Quickfold system, the rear row of seats can easily be folded in a ratio of 1/3: 2/3. So the transportation of bulky items becomes easily feasible. Each backrest is folded individually, and at the same time, it is not necessary to remove the head restraints first. All this is due to the presence of a comfortable control function in the trunk.

The owners also note the presence of the 2-zone climate control THERMATIC, which operates in an automatic mode. For the passenger and the driver, the temperature, distribution and volume of the air supply are regulated separately. Due to the presence of several sensors, the adjusted microclimate is maintained in every zone of the cabin constantly. Even the quality of air coming from the outside environment is controlled. And if the system detects an increased level of harmful substances in it, then the internal recirculation mode is activated.

Well, about CLS 350 a new generation can still be talked for a long time. But even based on the above, we can say with confidence that this is a functional, fast, comfortable and powerful car. The price of which, incidentally, begins with four million rubles.
