It’s not a very large market but cabriolets are big on the cool factor.
And especially when it’s a Mercedes-Benz, in this case the CLE 200 and CLE 300 4MATIC.
Based on the CLE Coupe, which is already a head turner, the Cabriolet adds a touch not often seen around these parts and had members of the public give it a definite thumbs up around the launch route in the Western Cape.
One of the disadvantages of owning one, especially in our hot summer climate, is that the sun tends to burn your pip if you don’t have it covered and your arms if you’re wearing a short shirt and you definitely want the top up in town.
It’s easily done by pulling a lever on the centre console that will take it up or down within 20 seconds at a speed of 60km/h.
Rather it’s the kind of car made for mild summer evenings cruising around the beachfront or a pleasant sunrise drive to a weekend destination. — IOL
