I agree this car is fun, however, this car has been in the shop so many times for what appears to be a fuel purge release, consent popping in the right rear of the car. Mercedes does not stand behind their loaners and they can't figure out what the problem is. Does anyone? The car other than that is nice, fun. But when you pay that much for a car You expect it to be perfect. No more Mercedes for me. I will stick to my old BMW M3 I had before.
What a Rush!

I bought a mars red 2005 SLK 350 following my heart attack. What a joy to drive, with the 6-speed manual transmission bringing back memories of my youthful sports car days. I have owned it for a month and have not put the top up yet and I live in rainy Oregon. I just don't drive it in the rain. It is very fast and looks so elegant that it draws constant stares.

The "wow factor" doesn't wear off.

Even at the base level, the car is well equipped. There is plenty of room (I'm 6'-1"), and the car is quite practical from a comfort and cargo- carrying capacity standpoint. The paint is stunning. My Firemist Red causes long stares and compliments from everyone I encounter. The chassis is stiff and feels light and sporty. The incredible roadgrip is confidence-inspiring. The interior finish is unique, durable, high- quality, and profoundly easy to case for. I have the 7-speed automatic, and although I always buy manual, it's incredible and wouldn't trade it for anything. Coupled with its broad torque curve, it's the closest thing to a turbine engine you'll find. And, my God, is it fast
I thought my SLK230 was sweet!

More sleek and aerodynamic than previous model. Much faster acceleration from stop; incredible interior dash/seat design; superior Harmon Kardon stereo system;light & premium stereo package well worth the money. Turns a lot of heads everywhere I go.
Yeah, it's worth it.

From the retractable hardtop to the James Bond/Batmobile design to the MB star in the nose, the SLK 350 is just an all-around jaw-dropper.
Bang On!

7 day owner. Top up looks great, better down. Few think it's a drop top until you show them. Several have guessed it must have cost over 80K. Snicker. Power, Handling, Status, Comfort (I am 6'2" 225). I tested a Porsche Box, Audi S4, and BMW 330. They just do not stack up against SLK 350. Interior is par excellance. I live in flat Florida and find myself frequently going out of the way to find curves on back roads. Radar Detector should come as standard equipment. In sum, I am a discerning consumer. The desingers found a way to touch the human senses on many levels. Many fellow drivers must feel the same was as I have noticed several jaws drops. Go Mercedes!
The Benz your father never owned

After looking around the country for the perfect SLK 350, I found it in Lincoln, Nebraska and flew there on 11/4/05 to purchase the car and drive it back to Dallas. It was by far, the most enjoyable eleven hour drive I have ever made in any car. The handling was superior to anything I have ever driven; the amenities provide you with not only a sense of safety but comfort and entertainment as well. The superior styling of the automobile was evident by the number of people on the highway that waived or gave me the "Thumbs Up." MB has come along way in the last 20 years in its use of advanced technology that provides the comfort and safty the American public demands. Just test it!
SLK 55 AMG

My SLK55 is my first Mercedes-Benz. It is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. I paid $1,000 over MSRP for it. There was an eight week wait for car. I would definately do it again. Its fuel Economy is great for a 355 hp V-8, EPA 16 / 22. On my last tank I averaged 22.8 mpg. The car is solid, yet rides great for a sports car. I really like the AMG improvements over the 350. It turns this car into a monster (with monster looks).
Pretty Great Car

What a car. People stare at all the time. It is very comfortable, and I am not a small person. Leg room is exceptional. Driving position is perfect. I drive this car around just because I want to, and the destination is unimportant.
Excellent AMG

Test drove 2005 Vette - no comparision. Benz is much better build and trim level. Great exhaust note. Cannot compare SLK 350 to 55, have driven both. Not one complaint about this car. Best car I ever owned. Paid $ 1,000 over MSRP & waited 8 weeks for car. I would do it in a heartbeat all over again. Fuel Economy scored 9, but is what you expect from 355+ hp, AMG is thirsty.
