Used 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Consumer Reviews
Don't believe the Auto bloggers, this car is great and NOT a "chick-car"!
I've had my SLK 350 for about a week. i am very happy that i went with this car. i spent a very long time researching and test driving various 'sports cars', and my decision came down to the CTS, Boxster, and the SLK 350. I took an afternoon to test drive all three, and decided the boxster just had too harsh of a ride for a daily driver, and the CTS lacked the convertible top. I spent the weekend driving around some of winding roads of Los angeles (palos verdes, malibu, and mullholland drive). this car is a great balance between 'fun sports car' and daily commuter! its sublte & subdue when you want it, and ultra-fast & nimble when you want it. a GREAT BALANCE!
Perfect first sports car
Not very macho but outstanding performance. Previously known as a "secretaries sports car" now has much better handling and performance but still has the bad rap. While never being mistaken for Corvette or Porsche the SLK350 is probably a better owners car than either...easy to live with, good looking, low operating costs, fun to drive and undemanding...pretty nice car.

Peppy, fun sports car
If this is a midlife crisis I'm all for it! I recently purchased this used, original owner took great care of it. The 350 has a lot more pep than the 250, enough to make me pass on the 250. Either way, it has great road feel, lays low and tight to the ground, doesn't feel twitchy at all and yet it awakens when you simply tap the gas. I love driving it around with the top down. Well appointed, nice leather and controls, screen is a little small and I wish it was a touch screen. I have better nav and screen in my Toyota Avalon. Aside from that, a beautiful, elegant piece of machinery.

Fast, furious and fun
I have had my SLK350 for 10 years and it now has 183,000 miles on it and it still runs strong. It's gone coast to coast 3-4 times and the drive from Colorado to Arizona via backroads was one of the most memorable rides I took with that car. it showed how great the car could handle and perform when pushed..... It can put slow/dangerous drivers in the rearview mirror pretty quickly and it's small and agile enough to make long drives fun. It's definitely a drivers car with wonderful handling and a sport mode that really gives it instant power to get around the slower cars driving in the fast lane. Back tires seem to wear pretty quickly but I'm glad to replace them since the car handles so well. Radio has all the inputs you need and the sound system is clear and enjoyable. Really looking forward to test driving the new SL Roadster once it's hits the dealership in my area.

certified with only 19,000 miles
Simply the most fun I've ever had in a car (while driving). I've had a 280SL and a 450SLC, but this is surely super fine.
