It's great fun to drive.The ease of operation of the convertible top encourages use. The many added features of convenience make driving much more pleasurable. The car is beatiful inside and out. It is a much superior car to my 1999 model.

This car has been fun. Great on the road. Integrated phone and voice commands make you wonder how you lived without them. The convertible is extremely quiet, you can have a discussion at a whisper at highway speeds with the hardtop down. Small problems and Mercedes less than perfect service are the major shortcoming.

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.

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?
