I leased this car brand new in 2002. The second month I had it I had to take it back to the dealer to get the driver door replaced due to a faulty seal, which did not allow the door to close properly. At 40,000 miles, the motor mounts collapsed and one of the cams had to be replaced. Had to replace at least 6 brake lamps. Twice the convertible top got stuck when trying to let it down. Was told this happens when you use it for the first time after winter. Cupholders broke soon after I got it. The check engine sensor had to be replaced at least 3 times. Warranty is running out, so I am turning it in at the end of the lease.

Best car I have ever owned (out of 48). I am a car enthusiast and the last 4 sportcars were 00 Vette, 00 Boxster, 01 S2000, 01 Boxster S. SLK32 has better acceleration than vette, with Boxster handling, and S2000 fun w/tiptronic shift and ESP control. Boxsters were slow, Vette had heavy feel and poor visibility, S2000 loud and clutch slipped. SLK32 0-60 time of 4.6 secs. Cabin is awesome with Bose system and I fit well(6' 3"). Xeon headlights are awesome. Ride is smooth and silky. Visibility best for convertable-due to wide rear window and small roof pillars. Car exceeded all expectations
Lots of fun for the buck...

Just bought my SLK320. I've owned 5 SLs before this car, most recently a 1998 SL500. The SLK320 is much more fun to drive than any previous SL! It feels just as powerful as the SL500, but its handling is MUCH more responsive, nimble, sporty, and quick. Front suspension is perfect; feels more like a Porsche or BMW. Rear suspension is a little stiff & bumpy, but tolerable. Audio system could be better. Crossover frequency between sub-woofer and door speakers is wrong. Mid-bass is missing, making some CDs sound harsh and "thin". Other than that...the SLK320 is a blast! Automatic transmission is very intuitive. I was skepitcal about the "touch shift"....but it works very well.
A great car to own and driv

I haven't had any quality issues with the car. Its a real attention getter, lots of people ask about the car. Its the most enjoyable car I have ever owned. You get the best of both worlds convertible and hard top.

This is my third MB and the nicest looking by far. I bought it basically for the ease of the retractable hardtop. The trunk is small, but adequate for trips to the grocery store. I would rather have a single disc CD player than the optional 6 disc in the trunk. Pickup is not as responsive as the 230SLK supercharged which I previously owned. I like the interior features better on the 320 though, with the wood grain treatments. Definitely not a family car, just a fun short trip vehicle. Gets about 18 miles per gallon with city driving and 29 miles per gallon exclusively highway. Great car for me, but I only do about 5K a year.
