After 7 years driving my beloved Honda Del Sol, I had to think about buying a new car. I researched for approximately a year and decided on the 350 SLK. I bought this car in 05/05 and have enjoyed it so very much. It's fun to drive, looks great, handles really well, and has a lot more power than the Del Sol (of course!). A friend asked me if I missed my Del Sol (that everyone knew I absolutely loved -- to the extent I wouldn't let anyone even drive it) -- and you know, I don't! It's much more quiet (from road noise) than any other roadster out there and has a lot more style and class. M-B and the dealer give special attention to everything and to the customer. A nice extra!

SLK350 is my perfect car

After dreaming for years about owning a Porsche Boxster, I had not considered or drove any other sports car because the rest, you know which ones I'm talking about came with too much stigma attached, not to mention their ridiculous price tags. The older SLK models always looked more like "toy" cars than real automobiles so I smiled but never bothered. On a chance visit to a local MBZ dealer I was offered to test drive the SLK350 and found that was the car for me. My search began in earnest when I narrowed it down to the Launch Edition for its standard features and exclusivity. It's gorgeous, comfortable and solid. I haven't regretted buying my SLK350 for a minute and hope to keep it forever.

My wife's car and she loves it. Gives her the visibility she needs & loves the GO power. Surprisingly good gas mileage. She doesn't like the wheels so we are going to get rid of them.

This is a fun little car. The only downfall is the engine/road noise while driving. Too, I wish it had a little more storage space in the interior. Perhaps a "small" back seat area.
Hardtop Roadster - The Only Way To Go

Besides being the most beautuful roadster on the market, the SLK is now a real sports car with the convenience of a retractable hard top. All car magazines praise the Boxter and ignore the SLK. I drove both and, although the Boxter does handle well, it lacks the low end torque and the hardtop of the SLK. Why buy a soft top convertible whan you can get a safe, quiet and more attractive hard top. It is like having 2 cars in one, a coupe AND a convertible! This is the way of the future. Plus the SLK is a blast to drive - especially with a six speed manual transmission. It goes like a rocket anywhere in the rev range because it provides all of its 250+ pond feet of torque from 2,200 RPM on.

This car is the most fun of any that I have owned. Unlike the 2004 version (which I did not buy) I can actually fit comfortably driving this model (and I am 6'1"). My only small complaint is that the legroom in the passenger seat is not as great as in the driver's seat. Still, it is a hoot to drive, top up or top down. It has excellent responsiveness, and is plenty fast with the basic six cylinder. I would get it again in a heartbeat.
I got lucky

Had car on order with another dealership and was told I would not get one until November or December. My car came open at another dealer and I was driving on September 3rd, 2 days after the car was introduced. My car has the comfort package, heating package and premium package with the 7 speed automatic. The car feels great and runs great. We just got back from a weekend trip and were able to fit all of our luggage in the trunk with the top down. Tre trunk has room for golf clubs and minor luggage.

I've owned my SLK 350 for 2 months now and I LOVE IT. It not only has excellent performance, but it also handles the road beautifully. The new body style is appealing, and life doesn't get much better than driving "topless" in the summer heat, by the lake, and taking it all in. I highly recommend the Mercedes SLK 350.
