This is the funnest vehicle I have ever driven. I love the way it takes curves on the highway and responds at the slightest touch on the accelerator. It has more trunk space than I expected in a roadster. It is also a "head turner"!!! I get compliments on it every where I go!!!!
All new experience

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!

More fun, sportier, firmer and better interior design than the pre-2005 SLKs. The convertible hardtop remains the best feature and the heated "windscarf" is not just a new gadget. It's heaven on a chilly drive.
Excellent

The other choices were a Boxtser, or a 911. The Boxster was a pretty rough on the freeway (due to the poor state of the local freeways). The 911 was a much, much better car. Glorious to drive. But, it comes with the stigma of driving a 911. On the road, the SLK has more than enough performance. The additional power of the 911 wouldn't be something I could use often. The SLK definitely is a car that people like, and don't associate with obnoxious drivers - I've had numerous compliments from pedestrians, and other drivers. I'd definitely make the same choice. Its one of those cars that you will drive just for the sake of it and always be looking for excuses to drive.

This is my first Mercedes car and I have been very pleased so far. The seven speed automatic is a very good feature and allows you to pick the best gear for any situation. The sport mode allows the driver to go close to red line and shifts faster than any manual.
My little peice of HEAVEN!

Great reviews except for the gas mileage you get and with gas prices sky rocketing thats the only complaint we have on the car. We had the lighting package added and love the brightness of the headlights you get with the Xenon but still trying to figure out the cornering lights. I guess its kinda strange to see a little light come on and then go off after a turn. Just hope that they dont burn out quickly. Love the neck scarf even with the top up so I'm sure its going to work wonders with the top down since the bay area doesn't get that awsome down south sun. The Navigation is going to take some time to work out since I'm so use to the touch screen I guess I will have to thumb around.

No reason to return to dealership since we purchased. Super car for fun to drive and wife loves the 6 speed transmission. Feels that a real sports car like this new model should have the manual transmission. The "Scarf Heating"makes the driving expierence in fall and early spring in PA exceptional.
Rush! Like no other.

Awesome ride. I took the car on a 900 mile trip (Avg. 25.6 mpg on highway w/ avg. speed of 68mph allowing for pit stops) and was concerned before I left it might be uncomfortable for that long a ride, but at 6'2" I felt totally at ease. It has the horsepower to get out of the way and handling you would expect from a roadster. Top speed electronically limited to 155mph.
Fun in the Sun

Great acceleration and smooth handling. Head-turning body design. Quiet with the top up -- like driving a normal hard top car.
Awesome Hot Rod

I picked up my new SLK 350 recently. The car is a huge improvement over its predecessor, often perceived as a girl's car. No guy will be ashamed to be seen sitting behind the '05 SLK. I test drove both the manual and automatic transmission. One car reviewer said no one will regret getting the stick shift, and I agree 100%. It is so much more fun to move the gears yourself, and you will save over $1000 at it since the 7 speed gear box is an option. The car has terrific acceleration, and it hugs the road so well, you wouldn't be afraid to navigate those winding turns at a fast speed. I recommend the zenon HID lights. It's gorgeous in the dark, and worth every penny. Standard sound system is also superb.
