It doesn't get any better than this

This is the best roadster I have ever driven. I've owned Lexus, Corvette, NSX, BMW, and most recently the '07 Jaguar. The SL 550 is vastly superior to them all. The SL has an incredible combination of sport and luxury. The interior is as nice or nicer than anything out there. The car handles superbly, and yet still has a very comfortable ride. The seats are among the best I've ever seen. You can easily drive all day without killing your back. The only drawbacks to the SL are the price, poor mileage, and, inexcusably, a very mediocre stereo and outdated NAV. But the superior driving experience more than compensates for these shortfalls. Drive one, it's worth the money.

Excellent sports car with that extra bit of luxury that set this vehicle apart from and ahead of the competition. I just love driving it, be it on the road going to and from work or at the race- track.

If you don't have six figures laying around for your weekend thrill ride, these older SL series AMG machines are affordable and packed with performance. Be prepared for high Maintenace and repair costs if you break them but, they are well engineered and very reliable machines overall.
