Nice car but not an S2000

I own a HondaS2000 and refuse to trade that roadster for this one. I bought this 2005 with 11K but noticed the brakes aren't as smooth or crisp as my S2000. The driver side rear window doesn't raise perfectly and the rear tail light just went out. This v6 has tons of power but quite simply its a sports car, not a race car. The car is much to soft to reliably do the things I've done & can still do with my S2000 (105k). It is a nice car to cruise, and "look cute" in. So as long as you treat it like a delicate baby, I imagine the car will be fine. If you want 360 donuts, & drifting.. get an s2000! - trust me.

The new SLK takes your breath away when you first see it. It has a sexy line and everyone notices it. The front nose is gorgeous and the entire body is well proportioned. It has great trunk space. The interior is put together well and is user friendly. Though small with limited cargo space, it still fits CD's, make-up, glasses, a cell phone, papers and even a visor and water bottle. The cup holders are outstanding and very accessible from the driver's side. The many features it offers are outstanding especially the auto lights, the seat adjustment when exiting and the auto convertible roof. The acceleration is excellent and it handles like a dream. It is a blast to drive.

This a car that is fun to drive and handles great. The hard top convertible is so nice, makes the car noise free when the hard top is up and is a lot of fun when its down. The new interior is a big improvement over the previous model.

Thrilling Performance

I had to wait 3 months for my SLK 350 to arrive from Germany but it was well worth the wait. The SLK350 is quite a ride and has enough power to get you where you want to go. The interior is well appointed and the air scarf in the seats is great. New music sound system is totally awesome! This is my third Mercedez and I have not been disppointed. The ease and handling of the SLK350 is smooth. MBZ has a real winner with this new body style which is a real head-turner. Can't go wrong with this SLK and even though it is somewhat pricey, it is well worth the investment

I traded the "old" version SLK in for a new 2005. It's a night and day difference. Acceleration is more than sufficient, the ride is smoother, the electronic additions are welcome, the look is current,... Definetly worth consideration even if you live in snow country - just don't try to drive it in the snow!
