SLK COMFORT AND STYLE
I JUST BOUGHT THE SLK 350. IT HAS EXCELLENT POWER, GREAT INTERIOR AND RIDES FINE. THE TOP IS SO EASY TO PUT UP AND DOWN. I HAVE HAD JAGUARS, PORCHE, CORVETTES- THISIS THE BEST
Mid life crisis!!!!
I bought it with relatively few miles on it despite its age. It was obviously someone else's weekend toy. It is very well maintained and I am quite happy with its performance so far. While it was a weekend toy for someone, I will use it only as a summer, top down vehicle. I will put it away once the snow flies and bring it out in the spring.

2005 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 - A Powerful Ride
The Mercedes-Benz SLK350 is quite an improvement over the SLK230! This car has power to spare, rides tight to the road and acceleration over the entire rpm range. I've tested the Z3 and Z4 and there is no comparison. It is as fine a car as the SL500 and at half the cost. Mercedes has a winner in the new 350 engine.
Nice wrapper on a German beer can
The car looked beautiful in the showroom, and the it still does. However, the compliments on its apperance in no way makes up for the lackluster performance and the slipshod engineering. I have back problems driving the car any longer than 2 hours. It runs like it is an out of breath patient. My Z4 (2004) could have run rings around this nanny goat. The car burns oil like it doesn't have rings and the dealer wants in brought in to monitor oil consumption since many have had engines replaced. If it was placed on a dynometer in the US there is no way it would produce the listed 268 HP. At 36K it had to have a transmission replaced. Overall it is a dog. Don't buy one, worst car I've owned!
My SLK 350 stinks!
I've purchased this new SLK 350 long before any other dealers has it in stock. The car was a lot smaller than I expected. The engine has not enough power unlike the S class.. It feels more like a Chrysler crossfire than a Mercedes! in 2 months I had to take it back to dealer 6 times to replace parts. Worst quality luxury car ever!
