Fun Coupe or Convertible

I did have a 98 230 SLK with 4k but was totaled by a drunk driver. I purchased a 06 Chrysler Crossfire, thinking I would have the same experience and save money. No comparing. The SLK series Mercedes is one of the coolest convertible roadsters on the market. Performance, looks, roadster feel, with more class than most roadsters. I sold the Chrysler right away and began searching to replace the 230 with a newer 320 with no regret.

No bells or whistles

This car is especially fun to drive, even at slow speeds. With exceptional handling, acceleration cornering, the envious stares I get from other drivers are just icing on the cake. I love the automatic fold-and-stow hardtop, and the way the car feels when I'm in it. I also love the sound of the exhaust when I'm accelerating hard, especially when compared to my previous 4 cylinder turbo MazdaSpeed Protege. This is a fun and prestigious car to drive and own. I'm glad I found it.

I LOVE MY SLK

It is fun driving top down or up but I will srive it top down more weather permitting. It get's pretty darned hot here in Phoenix AZ in July.

Car has a very solid construction. Comfortable for a sport roadster. Good on gas. I average 24 mpg on premium. Engine has enough power for an average driver, but being a 4 cyl is does not sound too smooth. The whining of the supercharger compensates a little, and bring some of the 'sport sound' to the car

I've owned the SLK for a little over a year, and am very happy with it. I was initially attracted to the car because of its looks, styling, and impressive engineering. Supercharger provides enough of a boost for highway passing; otherwise, I would recommend a 320. Expectation met – with just one exception.

My 2003 SLK 320 is the result of my mid life crisis so says my lovely girl friend. If so, so be it. It is quick, agile, always turns heads. The fit and finish is perfect. Top up it is smooth quite and the Bose sound system is outstanding. Top down wind noise is minimal, and the fun factor is off the chart. And to top it off I consistently get 28/30 mpg on the freeway at a modest 65mph. Where else can you get head turner looks, performance of a V8, due to its light weight, and fuel economy as good or better than those little shoe boxes the car makers are trying to pawn off on us. Another bonus, parts are no more than an American car. Dealers are very reasonable.

The best all in one sports car ever made, it a great looking and quite coupe with the hard top up, a nice highway convertible with smooth air flow even at obscene speeds, easy to drive all day and moves a lot faster than the reviews (once it breaks in between 12 to 18K miles). It faster and less stressful to drive than the 911 I owned (with the rear engine) and more secure and solid feeling then the M3 I traded. I also enjoy not having every kid in a z-car or Mustang changing me on the highway like in the 911 and M.

Great Fun Car!

Bought it used in 2006 and it had 13,000 miles. Now it has 20,000 miles. Changed the oil and filter myself and went with Castrol Full Synthetic instead of recommended Mobil 1 and it sounds good and seems to have better response. It's pretty fast and it zooms through traffic with no problem. Be sure to turn off the traction control if you want to hear some screaming tires, otherwise you'll just jerk in low speed. Mine seems to vibrate a little when in idle.

I wanted a convertible but live on a dirt road so looked at hardtops. Glad I bought this one. It is fun to drive...way different than my BMW 525i. While my BMW is a great driving machine, it is heavy and moving the steering wheel requires some work. With this Mercedes its very light and the steering wheel moves extrememly easily. I had to get used to the difference. Sometims I want more than a 2 seater, sometimes I want more room - but I made this choice - - the tradeoff I've made. Also the car is so low and my friends always groan getting in or out because it's hard to get in and out.

Fast, Fun Car

I love the handling of this car! The acceleration is more than adequate, as the car gets off the line quickly, and it accelerates hard. With the AMG Sport package, the interior is very pleasing with the machined metal inserts. At 80 MPH cruising speed across Nebraska, the gas mileage was 28. The cockpit is roomy enough, and every control is close at hand. So nice to have a convertible hard top, also, although the trunk capacity is limited with the top down. Big enough for an ice chest, though.

It's a 10!

Fantastic automobile. The retractable hard top draws onlookers everytime it is used! The interior trim and seat stitching is awesome! It handles like it's on rails and it is very quiet for a small vehicle with the top up or down. No problems after first year of ownership. Even with roof retracted the trunk has some space to work with.

Sporty, fun, fast and power to spare!

I find my 2003 SLK-320 always fun to drive. It's a sporty and a real head turner going down the road. If the sun is out, the top is down. Or 25 seconds later it can be a hardtop again. You'll need to watch the speedometer because it is truly effortless to get to and exceed highway speeds. I love the throaty sound when I step on the gas. The motor eagerly responds at all speeds with ease. Comfortable seats and ride with plenty of legroom. Almost intuitive handling in turns, curves and "other" manuvers. The cockpit has well laid out gauges and controls. I've had no problems to date.

good bang for the buck !

I own a SLK 230 and I think that they are wonderful cars. It has been a pretty reliable car, besides the fact that it has been wrecked and it has been a pain to get fixed. I love my SLK, it's a small, eye-catching car.

I love my car!!! When i retract the convertible hardtop, it never stops to amaze me with its superior German engineering. Its a thrill, almost orgasmic, and to this day, passerby's stop and watch in amazement. I don't blame them, it still amazes me!!! I have never loved a car so much... From my first convertible 20 yrs ago a Fiat 124 Sport Spyder, to the overlooked Chrysler TC by Mazerati... This is by far the best convertible, and roadster i've ever owned.

This car has an incredible ride. Handles nice and tight. i'm a small woman, this car fits me like a glove. I love the call in features: Emergency tracking, questions on repairs and information. The only complaint i have is, that the seat is on the hard side, typical for Mercedes. I lease the car and will probably not want to give it back. p.s. i drive the 4 seater CLK

I purchased a used SLK earlier this year and it has lived up to all of my expectations. The car may not have the performance of a Porsche, but that doesn't mean it doesn't give me all I want when I pushed down the accelerator. The retractable hardtop is a fabulous feature. It provides security when you park it and protection from the elements when needed. It's an eye-catching car. Just put the top down at a gas station or somewhere close to a crowd and you'll get a lot of attention.

The Slk-230 model is the best and most reliable Mercedes - Benz car there is. Its really flashy, and has a great interior and exterior selection. If you are looking for a great summer car, this is the car for you. Also, the hard top convertable is awesome.

I love the color and how it drives. the engine runs very smooth, no complaints. I am meticulous about it. I do not think I will ever get rid of it. It is a car that i can see having for years.

In the nearly 12000 miles since purchase the car has performed flawlessly. Driving includes city and So Calif freeway as well as occasional mountian roads. More than enough power, but obviously not a dragster. I have developed a high level of confidence in this my 4th MBZ, but first roadster. Also have a 2000 E-320 which does not get driven as much as it used to.

My SLK230 is sleek and sexy, just a joy to see in my driveway. It is a very solid car, with strong performance in every day driving situations and even stronger performance on lonely stretches of highway! The trunk is amazingly large for a convertible, even with the barrier in place for dropping the top into the compartment. The touch-shift transmission brings you up to speed in manual mode a bit quicker than the automatic, and is a neat trick to show unsuspecting passengers that you can shift gears without a clutch. The Firemist Red Metallic paint is a real attention-getter. In the year that I have owned it, the service and reliability has been perfect.

This great little car is comfortable to drive on local errands and 9 hour across/state trips. The push button roof retraction is great, you can pull over and raise or lower the roof with the flip of a switch. Plenty of room in the trunk, with the top down, for two large M/B weekend duffle bags and portable golf club bags too! You gotta love it!

I haven't owned the SLK 230 for very long, but I really enjoy the ride. Originally, my choice was between the SLK and the 350z convertible. When my neighbor came over and told us about the softtop of his M3 convertible being sliced, my husband decided on the 230 because of the hardtop. I must admit that it is a great feature to have! I was concerned about the 4 cylinder engine pick-up, but the kompressor really helps to give it a kick when you need it. I live in a suburb of DC; since traffic is heavy quite often, it makes having a large engine such as the AMG a waste of money.

I wish i can drive it top down more but the weather on the east coast does not allow for it! because of the hard top, it's still sleek, sexy and fun to drive. Although the cargo space looks small, i fit several cases of wine and luggage with the top down on my way back from vacation this summer!!!

The car had no problems upon delivery. I had only one minimal repair (a defective door contact for the interior light) after 24 000 miles of driving. Oil consumption was minimal. Acceleration is tremendous, the car handles very competently and the brakes are outstanding. The Xenon- lights are definitely worth the money. All this makes the car a lot of fun to drive, in particular in the summer. I have to use the car in the winter as well and I was surprised that it is drivable in snow as long as you treat the accelerator like a raw egg. I used Bridgestone Blizzak LM 22 tyres on AMG rims (tirerack.com) for the winter.

The acceleration and handling makes you want to drive it all day long. This car gives me the most enjoyment of any car I drove in the past, including Corvette 2000, BMW 535, Infiniti Q45, Porsche 911 ('77). The Audi A4 Quattro comes close.

After test driving most of the new ragtops I decided to buy the SLK320. The sleek styling, powerful engine and well appointed interior made the decision easy. I wanted a car that not only looked and acted with finess but also was safe. I found all this in the SLK320. The retractable hardtop was a little extra, that I readily embraced as a BIG plus. I would recommed anyone who is looking at this car to try both the SLK230 and the SLK320. I believe the difference in price is nominal to the preformance that the 320 offers. The trunk on this car is adequate for a couple of small duffle bags, or a half dozen grocery bags.

Hope you like attention...

SLK 32 AMG is rare as any AMG models. I have yet to see another AMG in downtown Chicago. So definitely get used to getting stared at, guys nodding their heads, and girls waving hi. This car can definitely keep up if not out pace the M classes and most Porsches. Bought the 320 back in December but was not satified with the acceleration so when the first AMG came in I was all over it. One thing for sure, this summer is going to be fun.

I have my SLK 32 for almost three months now. Great car. Would love a manual transmission, though. Stereo could be a bit better. Retractable roof is great. Acceleration is out of this world. A bit rare, but it took me less than 5 months of waiting time. All in all: Highly recommended!

As with most Mercedes vehicles, the car is exceptionally well behaved and controlled so that you don't realize how fast you are accelerating, cornering or braking. The 320 engine is the standard of the line and is tuned and geared appropriately for this type car. Wind noise with the top down is minimal with the roll bar curtain in place. The five speed automatic works fine, but would recommend the 6-speed which is standard. The interior is gorgeous -- I have black and red with a silver exterior -- the traditional Mercedes sport colors. Never cease to enjoy driving this car!

I have had the Year 2000 model for 3 years. No major problems except for the roof which the dealer fixed under warranty. I have NO COMPLAINTS. It's an incredibly reliable, fun, fast car. My husband (who weighs 315 pounds) loves to drive it because it zooms faster than his Chevy Tahoe. This is a great car for women because it is flashy but reliable, its lines are sleek but brief. It's not expensive (compared to an SL or a Jag) and it's sexier. I love this car. Buy it for your wife. Buy it for your mistress. Buy it for yourself (I did -- on my 40th birthday)

I bought the car one year ago and have been thrilled with my purchase. The engine is surprisingly quick and receives jealous stares from others on the road. I used to buy cars with Manual Transmissions, but the Auto on the 32 is stellar - no complaints. Fastest car I've ever driven.

I've had this car for about 2 years. Trouble with noisy cabin air filter (vibrated at high speeds) and the drivers door gasket. Fixed under warranty in the 2nd month. The clutch/shifter a bit notchy but smoothed out around 7k. 29 mpg with commutes. Curvy roads are a blast. Top down in seconds. First gear a bit short, taking off from the light hits with 2nd. 3rd is a delight. 6th allows it to stretch out. I only wish there were more opportunities to let it run. Great comments from everyone. I often hear "cool car" when cruising with the top down. Valet parking always leads to a discussion about the car.
