This car is a delight to drive, and a privilege to own. Superb handling, outstanding styling, and a mechancial marvel. I savor each and every driving experience. In short, this car is intoxicating.

An incredible driving machine with superb mechanics. Unfortunately the electronics are sadly dated (10yrs??). Absolutely love driving the vehicle. Most fun in an automobile in years. Just wish Mercedes had looked at Japanese and/or American makes to see where todays electronics are. I have spent more time studying the manual than for all the many previous autos I have owned,combined! Why does setting radio presets have to be complicated?? Come on Mercedes make it a perfect auto with updated electronics.
not too bad

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.

Truly the best engineered car I have owned. It is my 4th SL. The convertible hard-top also has a glass panoramic roof. Highway mileage is nearly 23 miles per gallon at 8o mph. The ride firmness is adjustible for Sunday comfort or serious cornering. Very quiet with the top down, which is as often as possible

I had a 1998 500 SL before this one. I was never crazy about that car. It was bulky and difficult to drive. This one is sleek, attractive and lots of fun to drive.

It is absolutely the best car I have ever owned and I've owned almost 60 cars. this is one that I will never get rid of. It's stying, handling and performance leaves all the other cars in the dust.
more fun than a roller coaster

More on road performance than you could ever need on the open highway. This car performs superbly at high speed. Whether conering or racing down a straight stretch of road this car will amaze you. A luxury ride decieves you as you gaze out the window thinking you are travelling at maybe 2/3 your actual speed. Slowing down is no problem given the braking system on this vehicle. If you want to make your drive as enjoyable as possible you must own this car.

Excellent car in everyway. I have been driving Sls since 1975 and this surpasses them all by a lot. It is a great looking car and handles just as well.Only thing missing is a sunglass holder.

The AMG package makes this Benz a rocket. It is quiet and handles like a dream. This Benz is the best of the four that I have owned. Some quibble about limited trunk space. Name me a rocketship that does have a spacious trunk.
More fun than the day I got my license.

Its the most exciting car I have ever driven. People frequently roll down their window at stop lights to ask me questions about the car. I'm always more interested in taking it out if the weather is good enough to put down the top. I haven't had this much driving fun since the week I first received my driver's license (and that was 41 years ago).

Most responsive car I have ever driven. Acceleration is "seamless," with no hesitation at all. It corners like a race car. Taking curves is more fun than a straightaway.

This in the fourth MB SL that I have owned and it is the best. Fast Luxurious and Stunning. On the highway it drives like a race car with the comfort and manneres of a two swated Limo.

I have the SL55 AMG and it performs above expectations. Seating is comfortable I just finished a trip from Florida to New York and both my wife & I enjoyed every mile. The highway patrol also enjoyed it I was stopped in almost every state!

I have been waiting for this car since I was a boy, when I first saw the 300SL in Cleveland. Everything done well, but I would improve the quality of the interior a wee bit. I know one must consider damage by climatic elements in a convertible, but if the leather shows too much wear, one can always replace it.

The car handles well, I gave up a 650i I am 6,5" and had a lot more leg room than the SL gives. More color choice and wish the seat would go back even more. Overall love the car
