Fun for awhile - but not a great value
Car accelerates like crazy and is fun to drive. Great open air driving and nice exhaust sounds. Wish the car had a few more features or amenities. Not built for comfort or gadgets. Main problems - dealer would never completely fix brake squeak. Blinker light housing fell out of socket twice. Ride is cramped and visibility is marginal. Great engine offset by poor dealer service. On the one hand the car performs great - but don't you expect great service and some more features for 56K? One last thing - car handles very poorly in the rain, even below 60 mph. I had a CLK with Z-rated Michelins that performed better than these Continentals.
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.
Very Fast & Very Happy
One of the fastest little cars ever driven. Handles like a dream. Living in FL, the hard top is mostly down. Not big on the electronics but who cares. Very good head and leg room. To AMG: I love it!
Slk
Not only a great car but a blast to drive. although not as powerful as most like roadsters it suits me just fine. Who needs to go 170 mph in the U.S.
