2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK55 AMG Roadster

Pros

A real pleasure to drive!

Cons

Feels a little small inside, a little hard to get in and out of!

Purchased As New

Excellent overall choice!! A dream to drive, very sporty! Top goes up and down quickly, plus offers advantages of hard top! Great car!

Pros

It looks REALLY luxury and really sexy! The performance is superb and ultra magnificent.

Cons

Quite expensive

Well, I love this car! Once you ride on it, you do NOT want to live the car ever again! But this car is not the least expensive car ever, in fact, it is somewhat expensive. But if the budget is not the issue, then I recommend this car. It is fun to drive, it is super comfortable and TOO high-tech!

Pros

Good looking car. Small and sporty.

Cons

Very tiny inside, limited storage space. Expensive for power.

Great car appearance and quality. Very small inside, so its something to get used to. Very expensive for the power. Corvette gives a lot more for the money, but its American not German! Have had fights with my boyfriend who wants to drive it; No, no, no - its a woman's car. There is nobody I've ever seen driving it who wasn't female. Great looker!!...read morehide

Pros

Fuel emonomy isn't the reason you buy a SLK55 AMG. Performance..... IS

Cons

NONE

This is the 4th SLK I have owned, First was a 2001 slk320 which I loved, then bought a very low milage (4,000) SLK350 which was good and a year later found a SLK32 AMG. All were great cars. I was in having the 2004 SLK32 serviced and saw on the showroom floor my 2009 SLK55 AMG. I can't wait till I get over the 1,000 mile breakin period. Even driving it easy IT's A BLAST. One point on the 2009 models of all SLK's the small back windows don't go up with the top, you have to raise them with with window buttons. Also has nav and a killer stereo. Internal hard drive will store MP3's an pull them off to the hard drive. One point you have to know, IT will not pull from a store CD, you have to convert normal CD's to an MP3 format first with your PC and then it will copy them to the internal hard drive. So if you have this feature just buy a SD card and SD card reader as the stereo also has an SD card reader and will play MP3 from it. Stereo will also PLAY DVD's, but I haven't tried them while driving, my guess is the display will stop one moving with a DVD. Yes it does surround sound on the DVD's. AMG performance package makes the ride a little more firm but not uncomfortable. It's a real pleassure!...read morehide
