Great little car

by Rob from Mpls, MN (10/05/08)
Pros:Great looks, good fuel economy, good ride
Cons:Snug, but what do you expect!

Nice looking car.

by Disapointed in LA from Los Angeles, CA (9/21/08)
Pros:Good looking ladies car. All the women love it.
Cons:It didn't work, so Mercedes had to buy it back from me.

Got the car to drive on weekends with my girlfriends. They all have Corvettes and Porsches, and I wanted something different, that was designed specifically for a woman in mind. The car worked for one week, then broke down. Into the shop in Calabasas California. Over the six months I had the car, it was in the repair shop five. Finally, they took the car and gave me my money back. What was wrong? They wouldn't tell me, other than "there are so many electronics on the car, the technology has exceeded their ability to make it work." I loved driving the car while I had it, but would have liked to have had it to drive more than I did. I hope other people out there don't have the same reliability problems.............

Great looking, sporty, comfortable and practical..

by Mike from Philadelphia, PA (8/15/08)
Pros:Aerodynamic great look, Very comfortable for a roadster, Hard top convertible, Handling
Cons:Need to have the SLK 350 in Standard Transmission option as well.

Great looking convertible, sporty, comfortable and practical roadster. Good for all seasons thanks to it's hard top. A thrill to drive. Standard transmission more fun, wish the more powerful engines (350 and AMG 55) come with the standard transmission option as well. Great handling especially with the new direct steering. Never get bored of driving it. Great GPS system, but the volume should be separate from the stereo volume nob.

It's worth it.

by Marielle (8/08/08)
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!

Great German Car

by Stoked in LA from Los Angeles, CA (8/01/08)
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!!

Handles like a dream, fast, great tunes

by Tony Grant from Greenville, SC (7/17/08)
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!
