SLK Review

This is a very fun car to drive, but expect people to look and comment! It has lots of power, and handles very well.The retractable top is very convenient and quiet when up. Ypu can't put much in the trunk when the top is down, so you do need to pack light on trips (this can have its advantages when shopping!)

We adore our new SLK320 Sp. Ed. It's our first MB and we are thrilled with it. It's gorgeous bright red and rides like a dream. When the top is up, you almost forget that you're in a convertible. It's that quiet and airtight. It's also very powerful and comfortable ..from someone with really long legs!

The perfect little auto to drive in any weather. Very reliable and stable on the road. I am thrilled with this sports car and love the convenience of the retractable hardtop!

SLK32 Gives Driving Thrills!

I'm a previous MB owner,but this is my first AMG MB....WOW! It screams to be driven....and it is unbelievably fast! I decided to get involved in the local MB club autocross events. This allows the 32 to be driven more agressively, and gives a chance to enjoy the power and handling! The car handles beauti- fully on the course! It is competing nicely with more expensive Porsche models! The fit, finish, ease of operating the top, etc is all excellent....Don't compare the 230 or 320; they are nice, but very different cars....the 32 is a serious driving machine. If you drive it, you'll want it...The styling with tasteful AMG touches is beautiful..Cheers!

I live in the Northeast so I wanted a hardtop for most of the year and a convertible for the summers. It was this or the Lexus SC430 and the SLK was leasing for $150-200 less a month. Besides the Lexus doesn't look well with the top up. I love this car and I can't wait until my lease ends so I can get the new SLK350.

When I was in the market for a new car, it took my breathe away when I took it for a test drive - how quickly it accelerated! I knew I wanted a convertible but didn't like the look of the typical plastic top so this was the perfect solution. I've also been pleasantly surprised at much stuff my trunk can hold when the top is up! It truly has met all of my expectations and I love it so much, I'd recommend it if you're in the market for a sports car!

THE VEHICLE HAS A TREMENDOUS ABILITY TO MAKE DRIVING FUN,AS IF YOU JUST GOT YOUR LIC., HOWEVER THE CAR NEEDS IMPROVEMENT IN QUALITY CONTROL,DELIVERED WITH THE SIGNAL LIGHT ON THE LEFT FRONT NOT SECURED AND DAMAGE TO THE INSIDE DASH ,THIS IS UN ACCEPTABLE FOR A $65,000 VEHICLE

This car is the one that catches eyes on the road; it is a poor man's SL roadster, yet it is fun to drive, stylish and I am very pleased with its performance. Compared to a Boxster, this is a real sports car.

I'm 78. Bought my 2004 SLK 230 Kompressor when it was 19. I love it. It has an automatic transmission and on a trip of any distance having both Sat Radio and GPS is a pain. But it's doable and worth it. Longest trip I've been on with it is about 400 miles. Handles well, accelerates well, it's the sportiest little car I've owned since I sold my 1979 Triumph Spitfire. Wish I'd bought it when it was new. Still has LESS than 65,000 miles on it.

I love driving my SLK 320 Special Edition...This is the first Benz I ever owned but I'm sure it won't be the last one. Unfortunately I had someone follow me home to find out how much I like my car....
