The new 2004 MZB 500SL

I just bought the new 2004 SL after having previosly owned an SL back in 1993. I am very impressed with this car's handling. I have driven the BMW from sports car to 2002 745i and believe it or not this SL handles nicer than any BMW I've ever driven. It is solid, quiet, stunningly powerful and fun! I got the sport package which I highly recommend. The controls are easy compared to BMW's "I"-drive.Add up all the add ons and your talking an easy $100,000, but i think this one is worth every penny.

After owning my SL500 for over a year, I am still thrilled everytime I climb in and drive away. Although I travel a lot for business and don't get to drive my car as much as many do, this car is still the consumate sports car and gets a second look from a lot of people. All in all, the best ride I've ever had.

This is my third SL-500, Customer service at my dealership is impeccable, the car itself is amazing. I love driving it. Is it expensive?... probably... am I worth it?....You bet! Will ever drive anything else?...NEVER!

I bought this SL500 last summer and so far it has been a reliable, comfortable car that also handles like a Porsche. I am not too sure about the exterior styling. Some people mistake my car for an SLK which is a lot cheaper. I don't know about you, but I hate that! Otherwise, this is a wonderful sports car loaded with convenience features and Mercedes cachet.

just when you think a car cant be outdone, Mercedes out did themself from the keyless go (optional) to the hard top glass covertable the performance and design of this car is perfect. Although the trunk space is minimal,everything else is perfect. If you can afford it, its a must have
