Everything's Great Except the Steering's Feel
Beautifully crafted for sure... can't say enough good things about it. However, the electric steering really takes away my feel for the road in this 2014 SL550 version. Actually my other SL (R129 platform 1995 SL500, with the M119 Engine), is probably the nicest driving Roadster ever crafted by Mercedes.... and the body lines are much more pleasing to a discerning eye. The loss of the hydraulic steering, coupled with the ABC (Automatic Body Control) may make the ride of the 2014 more "opulent" but, if you enjoy the feel of the road, especially through the corners, the 2014 leaves a fair bit to be desired.
Perfectly Balanced Convertible Super Car
Mercedes got it so right. Excellent ride, prodigious power, and unmatched comfort.

About that nose.....
Great power, great street cred, a joy to drive... and it can do its wild thing... just an unflappable, very well thought out vehicle for those lucky enough to have the means to own one. I agree the previous iteration had a nicer exterior, but having owned three of those (03 sl55, 04 sl500, 05 sl500) I can attest to the fact that this car is so much more advanced and competent that I can get over the rather unattractive at first glance and chubby exterior.. much like living in Las Vegas.. it grows on you. I now like my view of my car with the exception of the front fender view. I highly recommend this car. Worth every penny and there are not too many of these built for whatever reason so the exclusivity is another value to me.

The car handles very well on the highway and brakes very well. Very quiet and it’s awesome to have a convertible and a car that rides so nice
