Not a hairdresser's car.

*The interior is far from cheap. Almost everything is leather, suede, soft to the touch and high quality carbon fiber. The ac temperature wheels are kinda cheap plastic but that's about the only thing that's not grade a quality, and they're really satisfying to turn. *It has dynamic control. 4 modes, eco, comfort, sport and sport plus. In comfort it's really quiet, feels like a regular luxury car. Sport makes it a bit louder and stiffer and somewhat more fun. Sport plus makes it really aggressive, like constantly in the boost range, crazy throttle blips while downshifting and obnoxiously loud. Super stiff and handles like it's on rails in sport plus. I'm a die hard manual guy and I fell in LOVE with sport plus. *It's quicker than you think it is. When you get on it, it will break loose at high rpms even on dry pavement. I love that it puts you back in the seat when boost hits. Only complaints I have are that the steering is really numb compared to how well it handles and it can be tail happy in corners.

Switched from years of owning 370Z Roadsters

2019 - I love my new Benz!!! Switched from being a lifetime owner of 370Z Roadsters until the convertible didn't work on my last new one, so I went with the SLC 300 and never regretted it. 2022 -- STILL LOVING MY BENZ!!! My only complaint is they stopped making my gorgeous model the year after I purchased it. If they still sold this same type, I'd buy a NEW one! But I won't now.

2018 Merc SLC300 a traditional oldschool roadster

I'm a new convert to Mercedes, coming from a long line of BMW sedans and convertibles. The interior is a pleasant place to be, getting in and out takes some gymnastics but the tradeoff is a classic british 60s roadster seating position with german engineering and quality. The exterior improvements from the SLK gave the SLC a new lease on life, but the interior is essentially identical, but still, average mercedes quality is better than the best Ford and Mazda can do with the mustang and Miata. This is NOT a sports car, its got enough power to be enjoyable, but its not going to keep up with a modern BMW or Porche, it will however mess up your hair and make you smile a lot more than its german competition. The technology in the car for a 2018 is compatible with my Ford F350, wifi hotspot, LED lights, Android Auto etc. A hard top convertible is becoming hard to find and this car on the Californian mountain roads is its ideal home.. I can drive with the top down at anything over 55f and the neck heating keeps me warm enough to feel fine. The car is eminently "chuckable" as you sit almost over the rear axle and is wonderful to take along the golden state's mountain roads, especially switchbacks and steep climbs in to wine country I wouldnt own one of these without a warranty as I expect any repairs to be quite expensive and there's plenty that can go wrong with 2 turbos, a small engine and a lot of electronics, but I havent marked the car down for that. The reason to drop a star is simply that the competition is so very strong and if youre looking for a sports car rather than a cruiser, there are better choices (BMW/Porche)

This is a very nicely appointed vechicle. Performance is really good. Not so good in snow but that's to be expected.

New to Mercedes Benz family-2019 SLC300

I love both the exterior and the interior of my new car SLC 300 Roadster. The cabin area is small inside the car but it’s a Roadster after all!. I wish it came with the standard safety equipment (like what was included without an extra cost on our 2018 Highlander) but unfortunately, it didn’t. For example, you could get lane assist on the SLC 300 but it’s additional charge for this safety feature. Toyota’s Safety Sense on our Highlander has pedestrian detection, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, dynamic radar cruise control etc. all included on our suv for no additional cost. However, I didn’t buy this car to compare to our suv’s included safety features that this one charges extra to get on the car. Instead, I bought this car for the “fun factor”. I would have loved to have bought this car with all the so called “bells and whistles’ available for purchase on the car but what my car does have is still adequate. That being said, I wish the Naviation system was automatically included in the cost of the car so that you didn’t have to pay extra for it. My car has the Garmin Map pilot on it ($625 dollar charge) BUT it doesn’t come with the chip to use it. IMO that is crazy and kind of a rip off since you have to purchase the chip separately to be able to use the Garmin Pilot map. As far as reliability goes, since we have never bought a Mercedes Benz before, I really don’t know if this car is a reliable car or not. What I can say is if this car is as reliable as Mercedes Benz vehicles are suppose to be, I’ll be extremely pleased with my new car. I look forward to driving this car for many, many years ( I better since it will take me 7 years to pay it off). Our previous suv (before the Highlander) we kept and drove it for over 256,000 miles and my 2003 350z has 200,000 miles on it right now. I’m thinking about detailing my experience driving this new car to see how it holds up in day to day driving but we shall see if I do that after all. At any rate, I look forward to driving and enjoying my beautiful new 2019 MB SLC300. It’s a gorgeous car and though there are a few things I’d change about this car, I think it’s a beautiful car like it is.
