The best all in one sports car ever made, it a great looking and quite coupe with the hard top up, a nice highway convertible with smooth air flow even at obscene speeds, easy to drive all day and moves a lot faster than the reviews (once it breaks in between 12 to 18K miles). It faster and less stressful to drive than the 911 I owned (with the rear engine) and more secure and solid feeling then the M3 I traded. I also enjoy not having every kid in a z-car or Mustang changing me on the highway like in the 911 and M.

A girls car i have been told. But, since I am a female that statement does not bother me. I have had my car for about 2 years. I drive it as a weekend vehicle. I love the color and how it drives. the engine runs very smooth, no complaints. I am meticulous about it. I do not think I will ever get rid of it. It is a car that i can see having for years.
Great Performance car for daily use

The car had no problems upon delivery. I had only one minimal repair (a defective door contact for the interior light) after 24 000 miles of driving. Oil consumption was minimal. Acceleration is tremendous, the car handles very competently and the brakes are outstanding. The Xenon- lights are definitely worth the money. All this makes the car a lot of fun to drive, in particular in the summer. I have to use the car in the winter as well and I was surprised that it is drivable in snow as long as you treat the accelerator like a raw egg. I used Bridgestone Blizzak LM 22 tyres on AMG rims (tirerack.com) for the winter.
Great Fun Car!

Bought it used in 2006 and it had 13,000 miles. Now it has 20,000 miles. Changed the oil and filter myself and went with Castrol Full Synthetic instead of recommended Mobil 1 and it sounds good and seems to have better response. It's pretty fast and it zooms through traffic with no problem. Be sure to turn off the traction control if you want to hear some screaming tires, otherwise you'll just jerk in low speed. Mine seems to vibrate a little when in idle.
it is the best

I have my SLK 32 for almost three months now. Great car. Would love a manual transmission, though. Stereo could be a bit better. Retractable roof is great. Acceleration is out of this world. A bit rare, but it took me less than 5 months of waiting time. All in all: Highly recommended!

The acceleration and handling makes you want to drive it all day long. This car gives me the most enjoyment of any car I drove in the past, including Corvette 2000, BMW 535, Infiniti Q45, Porsche 911 ('77). The Audi A4 Quattro comes close.

I bought the car one year ago and have been thrilled with my purchase. The engine is surprisingly quick and receives jealous stares from others on the road. I used to buy cars with Manual Transmissions, but the Auto on the 32 is stellar - no complaints. Fastest car I've ever driven.
Hope you like attention...

SLK 32 AMG is rare as any AMG models. I have yet to see another AMG in downtown Chicago. So definitely get used to getting stared at, guys nodding their heads, and girls waving hi. This car can definitely keep up if not out pace the M classes and most Porsches. Bought the 320 back in December but was not satified with the acceleration so when the first AMG came in I was all over it. One thing for sure, this summer is going to be fun.

127K miles now, no problems at all. Car was in Tempe AZ until Spring of 2019 when it was moved to Sandpoint ID. This car is very fast and handles like a high end go cart, sticky, real sticky but I have great tires too. I’m a Porsche guy but I think I’ll keep this car in the family. It will be a great car for my daughter but she needs to be old enough to have the maturity this car requires, definitely not for high school or even college aged folks for the most part. Most of them would destroy the car by wrecking it. It doesn’t take much to start driving this car irresponsibly because it’s do damn fast. First time I punched it and held it in Monument Valley passing a car doing 60 mph, I went from 60 to coming up on 130mph in seconds, I didn’t touch the brakes, just eased off the throttle and came back down easily. The speed this car has is awesome, no problems except for minor things. I love this car and the best mpg that I’ve been able to achieve is 29mpg on long straights utilizing neutral when possible. Btw, I’m 6’-3” and 180 lbs, I fit in this car fine but any taller and forget it. Long road trips, like 2K mile road trips and I was comfortable the entire time.
