About that nose.....

Great power, great street cred, a joy to drive... and it can do its wild thing... just an unflappable, very well thought out vehicle for those lucky enough to have the means to own one. I agree the previous iteration had a nicer exterior, but having owned three of those (03 sl55, 04 sl500, 05 sl500) I can attest to the fact that this car is so much more advanced and competent that I can get over the rather unattractive at first glance and chubby exterior.. much like living in Las Vegas.. it grows on you. I now like my view of my car with the exception of the front fender view. I highly recommend this car. Worth every penny and there are not too many of these built for whatever reason so the exclusivity is another value to me.

I absolutely loved this car. I had it for more than three years. No problems at all. It’s beautiful, accelerates like a dream and stops on a dime. The ONLY reason I traded it was because my husband kept complaining about it being too small (it wasn’t). It has lots of storage and lots of legroom. He wanted it to ride like a luxury sedan, but it’s a sports car!! Driving with the top down is exhilarating. He finally wore me down and we traded it for an S550. I still miss my SL.

I love the car, classy, powerful and reliable. I bought it with 30.000.00 miles and now 70.000.00 miles later I have no issues, no repairs only normal oil changes and new tires. Now 80000 miles an no issues. I love the power and elegance of my Sl 550.

Everything's Great Except the Steering's Feel

Beautifully crafted for sure... can't say enough good things about it. However, the electric steering really takes away my feel for the road in this 2014 SL550 version. Actually my other SL (R129 platform 1995 SL500, with the M119 Engine), is probably the nicest driving Roadster ever crafted by Mercedes.... and the body lines are much more pleasing to a discerning eye. The loss of the hydraulic steering, coupled with the ABC (Automatic Body Control) may make the ride of the 2014 more "opulent" but, if you enjoy the feel of the road, especially through the corners, the 2014 leaves a fair bit to be desired.
