This car is an absolute dream to drive but the quality of the interior is not what a 100K should be. Very cheap feel wnd sounding. Ride is MUCH noisier than I thought it should be. Gas milage @15mi/gal around town. New back body design makes it look like a cheap car and not identifiable as an expensive Mercedes SL. Although I always buy SL Mercedes, this will be my last unless they make the car LOOK like 100K

Redefining driving excitement

This is the car everyone wants with good reason. Prior to taking delivery of my SL55, I drove a Honda S2000 (fun but very basic) and a 2003 SLK32 (too small, horrible steering response). Even with a weight of over two tons, the SL55's 493 horses will pin you to your seatback while surounding you with every conceivable luxury appointment. I drove SL55's at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in June's AMG Challenge, just to see what this beast could do when fully unleashed. What a rush! Not your typical no-frills sports car, but a lot more fun to drive!

I have had every make of car there is over the years. Ferrari, BMW,Mercedes, Porsche.etc., but nothing as fun to drive as this SL55AMG. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 12. Solid, incredibly quick, comfortable, yet a cat on the road.I have yet to find a single thing to dislike. Great job Mercedes, keep the new innovations coming.

I ordered this car after 9/11 and waited un til I did not have to pay a premium (actually received the car in 10/02). A squeek took a few visits to fix, but M-B did "everything" to take care of it. It is a dream to drive -- hard to believe it is so firm, even with the top down. Absolutely no cowl shake. A real looker.
