Have been in market for a convertible for about a year and found this one at a CarMax in May, 2004. After driving BMWs, the Honda 2000, Nissan's 350Z, etc, I found the CAR OF MY DREAMS. Unbelievable performance, ride, handling, and the clincher was the retractable hard-top. Never in my life have I driven a car that keeps me smiling EVERY second behind the wheel. Yes, this gem only will be on the road on sunny weekend days, but wow...it's unbelievable!

Let me start by saying I love the 2001 SLK230 kompressor.This car is like finding the perfect pair of jeans while they fit in all the right places they still need some adjusting from time to time. I heard all convertibles leak as does this hard top right at the top of both windows.From time to time you have to press down on the trunk to get it open Currently the leather is wearing off the side of the drivers seat.They did have a recall on the rear taillight finally something fixed for free.As for the current concern when the weather is cold the stickshift refuses to get out of park unless you let it heat up for approx 20 min.This has me nervous. In 3 1/2 yrs.Just oil changes & battery

I've owned this car for just shy of 1 year now, and continue to love it. It is a great blend of style, comfort, performance. The ride is quite smooth and comfortable (actually better than many sedans!). And, considering it's a 2-seat sports car, I find it actually is reasonably practical too. Even with the top down (which reduces the trunk space), I can fit 8 bags of groceries in the trunk. And the constant comments & looks from other drivers & even people on the street adds a little extra enjoyment - I'm sure they'd all be shocked at how reasonably priced this car is (under $40k base). Overall, M-B has done a fabulous job with this car.
What happened to MB?

This is my first MB. The convience of the hardtop is their, but I have had nothing but problems. First the left driver's side panel was rubbing in the trunk. The front passanger side where the roof locks in, is protruding out. The dealership claims that it was the result of the windshield being changed. The compressor has been replaced, because the car resembling a diesel. Since I live in Arizona, I had my AC on yesterday and the heater just kicked on! Dealer stated that a chip malfunctioned, has been replaced and will not happen again. I'm disappointed in the MB. I just wish it held its value more, even mercedes doesn't want the car back!

I wanted a porsche boxster but couldn't handle my height...went with a Chrome Yellow SLK 230 Kompressor and I am in heaven...the only thing i do not like is the SEATS! They should have put a more plush seat like in the SL. It took some getting used to but I smile everytime I get behind the wheel. AWESOME CAR. You have it all...sporty, classy, good gas mileage and a HARDTOP CONVERTIBLE! No other car in its class offers it...when will the others wake up?
