Just picked up a low milage SLK and I love it... It's not a winter car but I know that. I just hope it can take a beating like my 1988 Superchaged MR2(255,000+ Miles) only time will tell.
A Blast to Drive!

This car is so much fun to drive! On a beautiful spring/summer/fall day, fold the hard top into the trunk and cruise around in this sporty turbocharged convertible.

Great Car - Mediocre Quality

The styling of this car both inside and out is excellent. MB seems to be losing their edge on quality. For a car just shy of $50,000, I would expect a vehicle put together much better. At 25,000 miles the dash lights have gone out, A/C fan has quit, windows do not fit tight (leak), door panels are coming unglued and the central locking system works intermittently. MB is still good on service. All of the above have been repaired (under warranty) and a nice new E-Class was provided while the repairs were done. However, I remember not so long ago when you bought a new MB you never had to deal with these type of problems.
Great car.

This car definitely gets attention when I drive. If you really want attention, drop the Vario-roof while waiting at an intersection. To me, 192 horsepower engine with 200 ft. pounds of torque is plenty zippy for me. I like the short gearing since it provides more torque, which is what you want in U.S. (seeing how we have 60~70MPH speed limits.) There is no performance difference between the automatic and manual trannies. I've had the car for two years and I've never had so much fun. I play golf and I can pack 2 smaller golf bags -- Ping L8 bags -- into the trunk by placing woods on top of the bags (this is with the roof up, of course.)
Fun Car

I bought this car for my Mom in November of 1988. She was 82 years old at the time, and while she loved the car, she was mad we did not get the stick shift! She always liked the SL's. I took my driving test in a 190 SL back in the 50's. It was a stick shift. When I visited her in Fla,she would take me out in her 230 SLK. The original tires gave out in 10,000 miles. It also had the roof problem, but that was fixed under warranty. Her car is silver with a red and black interior. They apperently used some type of red paint on the interior parts, and that started to chip, Mercedes did repair some on a selective basis. Mom passed away in 2007. She drove until age 90. Car is in CT now with 15,500 miles on it
