SLK55 AMG
With a V8 and the styling of the $450,000 SLR, this little car is a blast. It is much more user friendly than last years SLK32 AMG and almost as fast. Everybody loves the car's sleek looks and impressive performance.
SLK-55
This is a really fun car to drive. The first day I got it I could not stop flooring the accelerator. I would take this car over a SL-500 any day, maybe even a SL-55. The handling is impeccable. It's seen every time you take a turn, you're tempted to kick the rear out a little bit. I dont like the fact that its not a True 5.5 liter engine. It's a 5.4 liter. However, I do love the brakes. When doing all this speeding, it's a must to have good brakes. The interior is superb. If you ever sat in an AMG sport seat you would know how great that feel is.
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).
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.
Great Ride
This is truly a fun car to drive. Great aceleration and handling. Will receive a plethora of looks while driving, especially with the top down. Have not experience any problems in the first two months.
