My 2001 SLK Experience

2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK 230 Kompressor 2dr Convertible (2.3L 4cyl S/C 6M)

Thinking I was buying a Mercedes "quality" product, I found some discouraging problems with mine. First, I got stuck with the hard top stuck in the trunk, and had to drive it to the dealership to get it fixed. After they fixed it, I found that they scratched the roof while bringing the top up. Then the whole computer system broke down, and I was only able to drive my car 25 mph until I could get it home. I have also found that the inside of the car is peeling on the center console, and the leather on my steering wheel is coming off. Please keep in mind that I bought this car brand new, and it still has 25000 miles of warranty left.
Great Car Fun to Drive

This has been a very reliable car. Very comfortable on trips with good lumbar support and excellent gas mileage. Actually got 33 mpg on one trip! Problems have been minor except for the catalytic converter, which was replaced under warranty by the dealer. This car has 80,000 miles on it and it will still get up and go and will stop on a dime!

I have had my 320 for almost 2 years and love it. I love it when I pull up next to some guy with a mullet in a mustang and smoke him off the line. I get more heads that turn from the great exhaust note to the killer xenon lights. I have replaced both fog lamps and many chips of my hood fixed from debris. P.S. Dont ever try the headlamp washers with the top down!!!!
Just keeps getting better

I have been driving the car for just over a year now and it just keeps getting better. I opted for the manual 6 and this adds to the fun, great exhaust note too. When hard top is up it feels like a sedan. I have not had any problems and at 9000 miles it is now starting to get even smoother and loosen up a little. Highly recommend it.
a joy to drive!

A wonderful car for two people! Hard top retracting never fails to bring smiles. Overall drive is very sporty, not at all mushy, sticks to the road like glue with the right tires. Highly recommended for people without kids or as second (or third!) car for wekends. Not great in snow even with decent snow radials.
