Overall
The car was great. the acceratoin after a red light is incredable. 0-60 in about 6.9 seconds. This car handles like a go- kart. Its a perfect car to just cruse around with. With one thouch of a button the hard tops folds in about 20 seconds.
SLK 320
The car is definitely not built for very tall people. It fits me like a glove, though, and I adore it. It makes very tight turns and with its small size, it can fit virtually anywhere.
You gotta love the hard top drop top!!!
SLK 230 Kompressor Sport: This car is very impressive! There are so many things to comment about how this car performs and handles, but all you have to say is, it's a Mercedes. The best thing about this roadster is how it tightens the faster you go. Snow and rain performance is good considering it's rear wheel driven but you must have the good tires. The trunk size is excellent when the top is up, but watch out when it's down! It's like going from a full size suitcase down to a large briefcase. I was crossed between the S2000 and this car, but once I looked at all the SLK interior features & hard top, the decision was easy.
My SLK experience
My SLK230 has been a blast from day one. It's unique styling and rarity on the road make it a head turner. For a sports car, the ride can't be beat. On the interstate, the ride resembles that of a much larger sedan. Though some disagree, the handling is easy and quick. The 230 provides alot of power despite its horsepower vs the 320. Also, trunk space is surprisingly generous when the top is up.
Love my SLK
I went from a C-320 to the SLK, and initially was disappointed by the lack of luxury appointments. But after reminding myself that it was a ROADSTAER this was no longer an issue. Not quite as flashy as the Nissan 300Z, but being an M-B the understated pizazz works nice. Actually has better head and shoulder room than the C- Class, and retains a small trunk even with top retracted. Excellent fuel economy but other than that not real practical. But hey, if you're serious about practical you shouldn't consider two-seater roadsters. Would definitely own another.
Best sports car I ever owned
I have owned many sports cars over my 45 years of driving, and this is the best yet. The handling is good, and reliability is tops. In nearly three years of ownership, it has not had any serious issues. Tail light recall is the only thing it has been in for other than the periodic maintenance that is covered by the warranty. It is such a keeper I am tempted to simply hang onto it for many years, instead of my usual three year trade. Kudos to Mercedes engineers for a fine vehicle.
Great Car
The 2004 Mercedes Benz SLK 320 Special Edition is a great value and the performance is off the charts. I am 6' 4" and have all the room that I need for this excellant roadster experience. Windows allow a safe view of all traffic areas, thanks for keeping safety in your vehicles Mercedes Benz.
Our First Mercedes
The overall appearance and handling are superb. Leg room in the cockpit and seat structure make for lots of comfort for tall people. The price is afforable, within reach, by Mercedes past prices. It is a fun car to drive. The convertible hardtop combines the best of two worlds.
