Too much fun!
This car handles superbly, accelerates quickly for a 4-cylinder, and is comfortable and fairly quiet with the top on at high speeds (watch that!). It takes about a minute to trade the quiet and safety of a hard top for the thrill of a convertible. Everyone except my wife loves this car (maybe it's those speeding tickets).
Great Car
This car is my first Benz and I have always wanted a convertible Benz. Mine has over 80,000 miles on it now and the feeling I have is that I don't really need a new car. This car has timeless styling, is very practical, gets great gas mileage and performs well. I have heard you can drive these things for 150,000 miles if you want without a lot of problems. This is a real Mercedes and it acts like one - not like a normal car that becomes obsolete at a certain point.

Love German Engineering
Other than Volkswagens I have never owned a luxury class German car. The SLK is amazing - cockpit design with all controls within fingertip reach - rock solid handling on the interstate

Fun and classy
I purchased the car last summer with 29,000 miles on it. No regrets. It is fun to drive, and I constantly get compliments. Only problem was some bad microswitches for the roof (a known problem for 1999). Once they were replaced, the car has been flawless. Acceleration is good, with a wide power band. Just fun to drive with the top up, or especially down.
Cr2006
It has been an extreme fun and reliable experience. Never want to get rid of it. The only "but"? If you gain weight, you can't fit! Perfect car for two. Not good for drives longer then 6 hours. Beautiful interior and exterior. Never looks old!
