Positive Review

"Best Sport Car with little compromise"

This is the car to have combining the best in luxury, comfort and sportiness. It might not be as "tossable" as the Boxster but it is no wimp. It does go fast when pushed and has excellent handling and fun, especially when the roof is down. I cannot say for more. I own for more than 2 years and even today I still keep looking at my car each morning before I drive off to work. Great car and years of enjoyment.

Critical Review

"You can and should do better"

Lots of road noise and be prepared to shell out Jaguar type funds to get features most other competition in this class has standard. Keyless entry package is $6000 since not available solo. Engine light come on frequently, and the dealership will tell you to check gas cap an/or use premium gas. Towed to dealer in first week.

Drives Like a Plane
Pros

You will love driving again.

Cons

None

We purchased our first Mercedes back in 2017, a 2012 Mercedes SLK 350. Love this car! Feels like you are flying down the road in a small plane. Love how it feels on the road and how it hugs the curves. Best car we've ever owned. Brings the joy back to commuting.

My First Mercedes
Pros

Everything, no negatives.

Cons

Not owning one.

This vehicle does not disappoint. Mine has all of the optional amenities. The power (I have the 3.5L V-6) and handling are more than adequate. It's quick and agile with the look and feel of a true roadster. This is my first Mecedes, but it won't be the last. I absolutely love the retractable roof. One beautiful ride.

I love this model.
Pros

Looks, handling, and hard top convertible

Cons

No apple car play.

I originally bought a 1999 SLK and had it for 20 years. I totaled it in a bad accident (with no injuries) and replaced it with this 2013 SLK 250. I love this one even more.

The Best and most Beatiful car ever.
Pros

There is nothing that can make you annoyed.

Cons

None in its category. A convertable 2 seater car.

Its brilliant instant response gives secure fingertip control while hugging the road, with the best all-around viewing that gives full awareness of surroundings. It is like being a child and having to play with your most favorite toy. Lots of space in the trunk and still room for hiding the rooftop.

One of the finest vehicles I have ever owned.
Pros

Very fun to drive especially with the top down.

Cons

The suspension is tight so it has not so soft ride

I am the second owner of this vehicle. What makes it so special is that it has the special handling package which the manual says it tops out at 186 MPH. It has a special black paint with black wheels. The interior is a dark red leather.

oh my gosh!
Pros

looks, driving experience, top down fun, peppy

Cons

cost of spare parts, dated interior

If you haven't driven a two seat roadster do yourself a treat and drive one! I am sure the BMW Z4 is similar, but wow the top down experience on the open road is amazing. And the looks of the 2020 SLC Final Edition are amazing. I did not go with the v6 as I don't think its needed - the 4 cylinder turbo is enough for me but judge for yourself. It definitely is a car that gets looks everywhere you go, as well as makes you smile every tie you open the garage door and see it!
