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.

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.

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.

I have not owned a convertible since I was a teenager. I have owned this car since 2015 and still love driving it. It still looks like new, drives like new and feels like new. I am the second owner. The first owner had a little scrape on the driver fender as he was coming into the garage. Well, guess what, my cat ran in front of me as I was pulling into the garage and I put a small scrape on the passenger fender. Unfortunately, our insurance companies classified these scrapes as "accidents", so there goes part of the value on my beautiful car. If I hadn't told you this, you would see the car looks as good as new. I get compliments on the car every time I take it our for a run. It still looks and performs as if it were new. LOVE this little car. Wish I could have found it sooner. Great news. Mercedes just extended their warranty for this car model years 2012-2015, 120K miles or 10 years from date of purchase. No extra cost.

Fun to drive

Fun to drive, but with a few flaws. Reliability of electrical components has been less than satisfactory. Also, it goes through rear tires extremely quickly. I drive in a spirited manner, but certainly not aggressively. Not sure if I would buy again.
