Yes, fast, beautiful and fun to drive but that's where it ends. The car has been back to the dealer three times in 7000 miles for mostly electronic related problems, twice on a flat bed. The latest is a bad alternator causing the computer to flash a red stop sign at me with an alarm blaring and a warning that the brakes were about to fail. Have to wait a week for the part because not one is available in the US. The navigation system is useless and the sound system inferior to say that of a Lexus 340SC. Scared to drive this thing any distance now and looking to trade her in sadly.
Its true, its true

The most exciting aspect of this car is the sound. Most sports cars are smooth and kittenlike with a turbo whine. This dog barks, like something out of a gutter. And the best thing is that is approximately 500 horsepower and a convertible.

An absolute riot to drive, but with all of the solidness we have all come to know in every Mercedes Benz car.

This is my fifth benz since 1988. I have owned the e class, sl class and the s class. this new sl is by far the best car i have ever owned. the handling and driving experience is unbelievable. I would reccommend that anyone who wants this car.....to get it. There is nothing that needs improvement.
Best value of any exotic

Nothing but fun to drive and own, and best of all,looks like free to own also with resale values still bringing premiums.
Great Update to the classic

I never expected to get another convertible - the hardtop won me over. The styling is almost universally praised. The engineering is most impressive - stability control, brakes, feel of the steering. But all in all, it is a beautifully styled and outfitted transport device for the new century. The downside is the overcharge for options - esp. phone. By why question the cost of a piece of art?

Excellent convertible for car 20 years old. Very well-kept car and made 500+ miles home with absolutely no problems. Fantastic purchase.

The car tracks like it is on rails. The exhaust note is beautiful. I bought a black metallic on graphite interior. Love the car.

I decided to change my old Mercedes 320 CE this year. I was hesitating between Jaguar XJK coupe and Mercedes SL 500 but I have bought the last one finally. Now I am happy to have this car. It's a dream, I have fantastic feelings of pleasure

After owning 9 new Mercedes, in 18 years, I finally bought my first SL. Sell you rfirst born male child if you have to, because driving doesn't get any better than this.
