I have always had a convertible since living in South Florida. This is the best car on the road by far.

I have owned several Porsches, including the twin turbo and a race car. The comparison is simple: The SL500 is a masterpiece in design and performance. It puts out every one of the 300+ horses, on demand, with elegance and style. The only problem I have had has been the roof noise, which Mercedes claims to have figured out, but I am still taking it in for lub jobs. Thank god for the loaners! Niko

Modern look with classy lines. This 50th anniversary edition is true to the 1954 300SL in looks but a little light on performance. This car should be faster. Also, light knocking on acceleration is annoying. New 7 speed transmission is very smooth. Handling with 18 inch wheels is superb. Steering is a bit heavy at slow speeds and you can tell this is a heavy car. But at highway speeds, it's a dream. If you have the money, this is the hardtop convertible to get.
Wonderful car to drive

I traded my 2003 SL500 for a 2004. Both handled as well as anyone could want but the 2004 with the seven speed automatic is even more fun to drive. It is like getting 50 extra horsepower haveing the extra gears. Everything works perfectly and neither car has been in the shop for any repairs.
You cant go wrong!

I first drove the 03 model in Vegas through an excellent package from the Ritz -Carlton & MBUSA, for an additional $30 from your room - club level- you get to pick a Benz to drive! I fell in love with this car, I had owned 2 previous generations of SL' an 81 and a 71. This baby is built solid, The new 04 comes with a 7 speed gear box and standard 18" wheels. Dont spend the extra 5100 for sports pack, you wont know the difference.
