100% Owner Satisfaction

SLK 300 6M. Without doubt, I thoroughly enjoy owning this vehicle. The pleasure begins with looking at it in the driveway. The stability and cornering are remarkable. The engine power is a little tame in the 300, but I had to get this car with the manual transmission. A surprising power band between 4-6k rpm makes the twisty roads a blast. The retractable hard roof is effortless and sometimes I will put the roof down just to drive a few blocks.

I just returned my 2007 BMW 335i which is every car reviewers baby. I bought the SLK 300 love it and would do it again. I was really thinking about buying the new BNMW Z4 35I with that twin turbo 300 HP like my 2007 335i BUT I could not justify the price difference of some $260 more a month to my wife and BMW would not deal with me despite my steller credit. I am not lead footed and don't street race so the difference in 1.1 sec from zero to 60 really doesn't matter. I would have bought the 350 but again it was the price difference. It is brand new with only a few miles on the car but I drove it enough to see what it has and I am happy with my choice. Good Choice in a Sports Car !!!

A bargain for what you get, as compared to others in it's class. Great engine power, speed and handling abilities. Fun to drive on the open road and in town. Great if you enjoy top-down motoring. Simply a fun and powerful hot-rod!

I am not a professional driver, but I do highly doubt the 0-60 speeds listed as this car is a Wolf in Sheeps Clothing that I honestly don't know of many vehicles on the road-at least that are common, that can touch it. 0 to 60 is under 4 seconds on the 6 Cyl SLK..easy! It's a Jet Engine basically pushing something slightly bigger than a bathtub ..think about it. However, it's a very cool James Bond "Intercepter Speed Capable" Transformer Convertable to Hard Top- in Seconds! You automatically feel like your in in a jet fighter when you sit in this rocket, and when your at a red light and hit a button that transforms into an equally hot looking convertible-well that alone is worth looking around and seeing all the heads turn in amazement before the light hits green alone. If you need to feel alive one last time...get this car !

I bought this car because 1- The retractable hard top (I hate soft tops) 2- Better comfort on the very bad roads of Province of Quebec. Road handling is not as good as a Boxter but the SLK is faster than the standard Boster and not so far behind a Boxter S. I would have had to buy the Cayman S but it's $20,000 more than the SLK350 and it's not convertible. I can hardly wait to get the new 2012 SLK 63.
