SL500-The Best

2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL500 2dr Convertible (5.0L 8cyl 5A)

I have had excellent experience with the car. It's styling and design is the best there is. It has plenty of power and the use of the top is easy. The computer controls take some time getting used to and the navigation is not easy to use. It's fuel economy is what I expected, but is not great. Technolically, it has everything.

Everything a luxury sports car should be. The convertible hardtop is not only convenient, it's great fun! I can't leave the car without looking back at it, and I find any excuse to drive it. It's been flawless in performance and reliability. I can't praise it enough.

SL500 - Good and Bad

The SL500 is my dream car...and also my nightmare. The car looks and drives awesome. But I have had it 3 weeks and it has been in the shop 3 times because the front xenon headlight continues to stop working...which makes it's dangerous for night driving. The service dept. has yet to figure out a solution. But like a Jaguar, it looks great SITTING in the garage!

I've had it for a month and have never owned a car that got so much attention, and to my surprise it is well deserved. I have never enjoyed driving this much, and the power is awesome-and I race cars competitively. . .

It is not noisey, it drives very smooth with sports override if you want, great brakes and easy to put top down. Mercedes has honored their commitment to send someone out if you have a problem. I had a flat and someone came within 20 minutes. Best car I have ever owned from Mercedes.
