After enjoying (yawn) several years' driving the SLK 320, I could not resist the SLK 350 with its leaps and bounds improvements. This vehicle is an altogether different animal than its predecessor (think cheetah rather than, say, tabby cat). Opt for the manual transmission for an honest sports car experience (urban driving need not be an obstacle). The MB SLK 350 is an agile, beautiful, and extremely comfortable ride.
Nice car, crummy company

My SLK350 was trouble free until 1850 miles. Since then the check oil light has come on at least 4 times. Each time it required adding 1-2 quarts . The dealer denied a problem, but I eventually discovered that there are TSBs covering this issue- MB was not forthcoming in admitting a problem. The car is great fun to drive, but I have serious concerns about long- term ownership, reliability and resale value. Lease it, don't buy it.

The 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 is not a hairdresser's car by any means. Make sure that you order this car with the "airscarf" feature allowing one to retract the hard top in colder weather. This will reveal the symphonic sound of the normally aspirated 8-cylinder engine. The hand-built engine (0-60 in four and a half seconds), and other AMG goodies make this car worth the $15,000 surcharge over the SLK350. The car is standard Mercedes fare, quiet and vault-like. Its only problem is, AMG doesn't make a standard transmission.
Art on wheels !

Merecedes has taken an "ok" model and really spruced it up. The look is super, engine is amazing and interior classy. The design changes are stunning and they have really come up with a sports car. The SLK is one of the best designs of any sports car and the performance is equally top notch. The attention to detail, standard for MBZ, has been great in the re-design of this model.
Mercedes got it right !

I also own an SLK320, and the SLK350 is light years ahead of the 320. The engine is smooth and the power comes early and just keeps on coming. Passing power is awesome. The interior features make this look like a mini-SL for $40K less. The car is a blast to drive and the airscarf extends top-down driving well into the Autumn.
