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.

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.

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.
