2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR User Reviews

Pros

612 Horsepower. Cornering. Still Luxurious.

Cons

Nothing you'd need to worry about if you can afford to buy this car.

I'm pretty sure that most if not all of these reviews were made by people who ACTUALLY OWN this car.

Especially not the ones who can't type or even speak English properly.

Only 3500 of them will EVER be build, and this is the LAST year. 500 of them in this year.

OH, and did I mention that their a 500,000 USD sticker price?

How many of these people do you REALLY think own a car worth half a million dollars?...read morehide

Pros

The absolute definition for amzing performance, it is an absolute pleasure to ride, let alone drive.

Cons

The engine doesn't sound elegant, and the visual apperance looks like a deformed duck.

The performance of this car is absolutely stunning. I was lucky enough to drive this beauty down the Autobarn in Germany, but unlike the other cars which I own, this one is definitley a vehicle which leaves donkeys who drive BMW's in the dust, and that is something which all drivers honestly want (isn't it?), to boast their new rides to the road and show who's boss. This car, I admit has a lack of the visual attractiveness which the others nail down, however, as they say, 'Don't judge a person from the outside!'....read morehide

I have a 1995 C-class, C220 - not yet the car of my dreams. But I have had to take the time to learn how to care for my Benz. Regular service, use of premium fuel, and the selection of high traction tires is essential! Then, I don't use any parts or materials that are not made for my Benz auto. And I have a "GREAT" ride with my car - the 1995 C~220 will be around for many more years, even after my purchase of newer Benz. The older Benz is a terrific low cost and dependable second or backup if my wife has the newer Benz. I also do not listen to Ford, etc. employee whinners when they ask why I didn't buy American - sorry, but this really ticks me off!...read morehide

Pros

Fast, Sporty, Uncommon

Cons

Horrible handling on wet roads, bottoms out on speed bumps

Purchased As New

I love this car, I've only had it for 6 weeks and it has most of that time been in my garage, but now that the weather is getting warmer I have been driving it around town. I went over a speed bump in one of the parking garages in Midtown and I bottomed out!! Also, the car slides all over the road cornering on wet roads, i know it's not only the tires, but probably the greasy roads in NYC. I hope it handles better on my trips out east to The Hamptons this summer.....read morehide
