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).
Incredible Driving Machine
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.

We have had SL's before and this is by far the best ever. A joy to drive!
BLACK ON RED 2004 SL 500
This car has it all! Having driven BMW's for many years and being TOTALLY turned off by the new "edgy" Bimmer styling, I decided to go with a Benz to replace my 2000 BMW 540i Sports Sedan. The SL 500 handles better than the 540, is faster and looks BEAUTIFUL from any angle. The interior is also well designed, is comforatble and looks great! It is expensive @ $95,000 but the SL's are legendary and this car will contribute to the 50 year SL legacy.

car is amazing. it is fast yet rides wonderfully.it handles excellently.i have driven it to and from north ca rolina. it is comfortable and you can't keep the speed down.it wants to go.with the top up it is very quiet.with the top down it is outright awsome.i have had 5 sl's including a 1990 when the new model came out. that was good but this is great.
