This is my 8th Mercedes and by far the most fun to drive. Not bad looking either!

Flawless performance. Beautiful styling in and out. It looks exactly the way it performs. Responds instantly to accelerator. Can easily get ahead of other vehicles and into clear road ahead. Handling is superb. Does not lean or sway. Beautifully takes curves with ease. Quintessential sports car. Wish it had more cabin storage, and that it had a better gas mileage.

Nice Try Cadillac

Cadillac's XLR has a lot of improving to do before it ever meets the safety, handling and performance of the Mercedes-Benz SL500. Cadillac can put all the horse power they want into the XLR, but it will never be the car the SL500 is. I applaud Cadillac for challenging the niche market the SL500 dominates.

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.

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
