AMG Cobra!

2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK55 AMG 2dr Convertible (5.4L 8cyl 7A)

The SLK AMG 55 has great acceleration and adequate handling and braking. It has been difficult to find the right seat adjustment. The HVAC controls are confusing and difficult to see at night. The retractable hardtop has been fantastic but opt for the windscreen if you do a lot of top down driving. I do have some rattles in the top mechanism and around the glove box, both of which are annoying. The drivetrain of the AMG somewhat overwhelms the chassis in my opinion. Keep in mind that the larger wheels and suspension make for a very firm ride, particularly on rough pavement. Repairs after hitting potholes are very expensive! Visibility just OK Overall a good car for this class but not great

My SLK300

This is a super car to drive, with looks and performance to match. We have found that at a steady 80mph on the motorway, the car returns 34mpg and is also more economical than the figures given in the spec around town. There is power when you want it and braking when you want it, all wrapped up in fabulous German engineering. Why can't we build cars like this? The retractable roof makes for a great drive on a hot summer's day. It is by far the best car I have owned and we have had some good ones

Love My Dependable Little Car!

I’ve owned many many different sports cars, some really fast and some really hot-looking. But as far as dependability and durability is concerned, the only car that can even be compared to my Mercedes is the Nissan 300. I put several hundred thousand miles on two of them. But my Mercedes is even more dependable than my Nissans were! This is a tough little car and I would recommend the Mercedes SLK to anyone who wants a dependable and sporty little car.

Best year round roadster

I love my 2008 SLK-280 Edition 10 with air scarf. I live in Colorado and use it on nice winter days. The style of the car pays homage to mcclaren racing. It has the slap shifter and paddles. You really get a great driving experience. I have added some mechanical upgrades and with the extra power this car truly shines. 10/10 would recommend this vehicle. It’s reliable and definitely turns heads.
