This car is great fun to drive. The convertible top is easy and fun.
This is an amazing car! German engineering got it right! It is fun to drive, comfortable and well thought out. Surprisingly good on gas.

Vehicle winner with minor flaws that could become major.
This vehicle has been the most quality car I have ever owned or driven, because as long as you keep up on the maintenance, it'll last. The performance is top notch. The features are good. The only thing I do not like is where the cup holder is located, which is right over the buttons for radio & CD player including where CD is inserted. When a wet cup is placed there, all spills or leakage goes on the buttons making stick in. Eventually my CD wouldn't come out any more.

What it feels like to drive it - fantastic.
It's a red convertible two seater that I love to drive. The only thing I do not like is the cost of repairs at the Mercedes dealership.

I have a love affair with my SLK350. She is a beautiful roadster that draws attention and questions wherever we go. She is quick and lively; driving her is a thrill. The car is beautiful with the top up or down, and the interior is surprisingly comfortable for such a small vehicle. There’s plenty of legroom, she is easy to get into and out of for her type, and the interior appointments are wonderful. I especially love the air scarf for when the temperatures are a little cool. She is a second car for me, and I smile every time I look at her.

Retractable roof on very nice sporty car with comfortable leather bucket seats.
No problems with this car. It drives beautifully and looks snazzy. Very reliable transportation. The car has a retractable roof that opens by simply pushing a button while seated in the car. It is comfortable to sit in, has leather seats that also heat in cold months.

It is a lot of fun to drive and looks great
I love the design, It is a zippy little sports car that is fun to drive. Unfortunately, it is pretty old and does not have the current technology. Also, it is a two seater which is fun but not good for grandkids

Special car, few on road, beautiful, well built, low mileage, classy car.
Like acceleration, body style, convertible top, leather interior, don't like the lack of Bluetooth connectivity, cost of repairs, gas mileage

Retractable roof fun and opens easily.
Love the brand. Very drivable always looks snazzy, fun to drive, retractable roof makes enjoying a ride a lot of fun. Trade in value is always good, awesome looking vehicle, gets attention and questions in parking lots. Recommend Mercedes Benz always.
