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.

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.

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.

Never driven in snow or salt as I don't know how well it would do. New rear tires (had a nail in one).service maintained by Mercedes dealer in Gainesville, Fl. Love how the hard top automatically folds down into the back!! Bought the car as it was the show car on the floor in two different Mercedes Delerships. Not 100% sure of the color. May be a custom color..dark silver with a hint of dark blue. Car is washed,waxed, and babied on a regular basis. Never driven on poor road conditions ( pot holes) dirt roads and the like.
