2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class User Reviews

Pros

Smooth quiet power. Great gas mileage. Wonderful gearbox.

Cons

Seats are a little hard after 400 miles!

Purchased As Used

This is my first Mercedes. I've always wanted one and now I'm not disappointed. I do most of my own maintenance and this car is so easy to work on. It's a little complicated electronically but can be maintained if you're somewhat knowledgible. It's a blast to drive and gathers a crowd when the top is going up or down....read morehide

Pros

Power, handleing, power hardtop convertible

Cons

interior space

I remember being a kid and spending the day driving go-carts at the beach. Thats what the SLK32 AMG is like...only FASTER! This car will JUMP off the line, challenging even motorcycles at a green lite. It will handle like a go-cart as well, though I don't recall a leather and wood interior on those old rear engine single seaters.It has all the usual acoutrements of the other lower end Benzes, but it's when you pull the little red button in the center console that people really notice the car as the trunk opens backwards and the top folds neatly into the closing trunk. It even saves room in there for your breifcase. This is also the same platform that the Chrysler Crossfire is built on. I can't say I like the styling of the '05 SLK's but that's just me, and once you're behind the wheel of one you forget about those things and for a minute you're 15 again, racing your buddies around tight S curves. Only this time you cant lose!...read morehide

I am from Iran.
It's unfortunate that we can not buy
car's like SLK, because of our canon.
we have to buy cars with very bad speciosity and overprice

We testdrove all the competition, German, Japanese, Italian and British. Not one came close to the SLK 32 AMG including the more expensive MB models.The 2005 model does not look as nice as the 2004 model.

To the Mercedes-Benz dealer ship this car is is terrible i will never purchase one of your vechiles* sorry in a hurry again!

I have the Special Edition 320.....Love it! I will never own another car other than a Mercedes!

Just bought my special edition today. It is awesome. Just perfect for my planned mid-life crisis! Way cool.

I can fit my golf clubs in the trunk (just not with the top down), no problems. If you love to speed and turn you'll love this car

The obvious drawback is that I can't fit my golf clubs in the trunk.

However, line up against a Boxter or Corvette, and when you see them in your review mirror, you aren't thinking of golf anymore.

Fun and fast car. Great for weekend get-a-ways. Storage space is extremely limited. Bought mine in November 03. To date, no problems.

Have fun with yours!...read morehide
