The answer to the question his hell yeah!! This car is great. I've owned by benz for 2yrs. It's a lot of fun and always, always gets compliments on it's look. It drives great with surprising acceleration. People seem to want to challenge you when they pull next to you just to see u take off. Love the car would recommend to anyone looking. Very reliable and you get what you expect. Never had to do anything other than change a spark plug. Take care of it! Baby it! This car will run for ever. Top was slow at first. Spent $30 for hydrolic fluid, never had a problem since. If you take care of a car than you will love this. If you r a person that changes oil every 20-30k don't even think of this

Great car if you want a solid, smooth handling sports car. Plenty of pep, but not enough to get you in trouble. Motorized top is exceptional. Fantastic workmanship inside and out. Not a car for you if you want an all-out racer, but great if you want to cruise in style and confort

My Mercedes SLK 230 is now 19 years old. I love this car; it zips up and down the curvy mountain roads where I live. The hard top convertible keeps working; I bought extra insurance from the dealer because I thought that could not happen, but it did. The design of the front bumper is the only thing that is flawed; it is so low it goes over parking curbs but does not come back without tearing the plastic. The trunk space is incredible; I can easily carry large backpacks, or a set of 100 cu ft SCUBA tanks and lots of accessories with even putting up the top. With the top up the space is enormous. This is a great car!

I bought this car used, and very much in love with it. I traded a 2001 Caddy Deville in for it and glad I did. No the SLK doesn't have 275 hp or 300 lbs of torque,no power, heated seats but it's also not a Caddy. In all honesty I dont miss all the gadgets the Caddy had because I never used them ( well maybe the heated seats). Being able to take curves 3 times as fast as the Caddy, getting 25 mph intown compared to 17, and filling up a lot less often and alot less money is worth it. Having a hard top that fold and hides in the trunk helps too. Even though the SLK has almost 100 less hp and torque it weighs about a ton less and is alot quicker and with the speed limiter not set at 111. Fun car.
Head Turner

I am extremely happy with my SLK. This car is THE head turner, so stay away from it if you are shy. This vehicle is a perfect blend of style, performance, reliability, safety and status. The retractable hard top works perfectly and it is almost like having two cars. The trunk is surprisingly big for the size of the car. Z3s and TTs are also great cars but you see them everywhere whereas the SLK is more unique and contributes to the head-turning factor.
I love this car

I plan to purchase an extended warranty for an additional 7 years coverage as I never want to sell this car. It's my 5th Benz and love this one the most.

I just love my little car! It is not a car for the drag strip, you will need the SLK32amg for that but the 230 will hit 60 in about 7 seconds. I have the manual stick shift for a more involved driving pleasure.

Actually, I have the SLK 320 (not 230), and I can't emphasize on how far away you should stay from this car. I have had so many issues with it, I can't believe it. I fell I have driven MBenz loaner car more than mine (which by the way is not a M Benz, it's a bloody Camry). I don't like the car, I don't like the dealership, and I don't like the service. I may sound like one of those complainers, but this car has given me hell. And if any of you M Benz dealers are reading this, why don't you please stick it!
I bought another one just like it

I bought this car in las vegas, and drove it home to northern calif. I bonded with this car..I was in love! I had it 7 months when my son decided to take it for a spin while I was out of town. He was coming down a hill at approx. 80mph..lost control on a turn, hit a brick wall, went airborn, the car spun around and hit another brick wall. All four airbags went off, the car was a totaled mess! Hardly recognizable, I was in shock when I saw it. What happened to my son? NOT A SCRATCH! I was so thankful and impressed! I think the safety of this little car speaks for itself.
Just traded this on in.

Reliability of this car was outstanding. It was fun to drive, but was short on space. The warranty was running out, so I traded it in for a new ML500. The dealer was exceptionally easy to deal with as it related to some minor fixes. They always gave me a loaner (even when bringing it in for oil changes). Dealings with domestic dealerships on such things have resulted in claims of "that's the way it's supposed to be", or the fixing of one thing and the breaking of another (My domestic experiences have been limited to Cadillac and Dodge).
Too Fun

I owned numerous fine cars prior to buying this one in 99. I have always enjoyed this car more than any of the others. It really hit home Christmans of 2002 when I got hit on one of our major freeways at 60 mph and thrown into a concrete embankment. The airbag deployed and I walk away without a single scracth on me. My car was in the shop for 6 weeks with 18,000 of damage. I got it back yesterday and it looks and drives showroom new. I can not tell you how much I have missed it.

Other than some fit and finish problems, and loose, flapping top cables under the headliner, this has been a superb automobile. It took a while to get the annoyances fixed, but I love this car.
AWESOME CAR!

Just got this car for my 18th birthday, and I am in heaven. It handles like a dream, and there is no comparision with any other car in its class with regards to style.

I have this car over a year. The previous owner probably knew things were getting preety expensive so he dumpt her on me. That's what he thought. Since I have this gal, I fancy everyday having a bit of sunshine and clowdy as well. Oh yes ! I changed to LED fronr lights, changed to chrome front grill. Special shiny black alloy wheels. Replaced to fancy head unit.. I think she reminds me of Reeperrbahn now. Costs a lot . Fun for few hours a day.

This is a spectacular car to drive - heads turn and eyes pop when the hardtop goes up and down. Though service was excellent, I've had too many incidental problems: the roof failed 2X, Dash warning indicators 2X; A/C; Bose receiver quit; tailight shorted; etc etc. But is it FUN to drive! My wife never cared much about cars but loves to drive this one.
