This car is absolutely the best! I have traded up from an '04 SL500 and I don't regret it one bit. The performance and handling of this car is awesome! The shift by MB to DVD navigation is the right step! If you're looking for a roadster/convertible, this is IT!

This car is truly a dream car. Superior acceleration, Awesome exterior. My wife loves it so much she has decided to get the SL65 by January 2006. Imagined being the best looking car on the road(exception DB9), and the fastest car around(Bar None). The guys running the nitro will need a lot more than that to keep up. If you have the duckies, this car is worth the money, although I have had a few minor problems with the computers. But the positive outweighs the negative by far.

SL65 AMG is an amazing vehicle. Almost unbelievably fast and very comfortable. Maintenance is a little pricey as with most German cars, but kept well maintained, it is a reliable supercar. Update: I’ve had the ECU tuned and now have over 700 HP and over 900 ft lbs torque. So comfortable for a monster of a car. I drive it daily and it is incredible.

I was treated with courtesy. No doubt I will return for future purchases. The Benz SL600 is the best!

It’s a typical Mercedes, with electrical issues. The engine is strong and durable. The convertible top amazing engineering went into this, unfortunately the design is not very user friendly, once a hydraulic issue starts a domino effect entails. Beautiful car fun to drive.
