Which one would be a better pick judging by:

Reliability: frequency of breakdowns, faulty wiring/lights etc.

Handling/Power: self explanatory

Ride Quality/Comfort: self explanatory

Aesthetic Styling: Which one looks better than the other

 

I say if you like power, its a no brainer, ecpecially for those little buzzing imports that swear their car is fast

 

power's one of the least of my worries...im more into the reliability et al point of things

 

POWER!!! CLK 430. V8 over a V6 anytime of day...

 

CLK430, but dont get a 99! I suggest never getting the first year of production of any model if reliability is a concern.

 

True, get a 02, around like $21k if you find a deal. I am gettin a 02 clk430 for $23000.

 

CLk430 all the way!
