Well built and very few service problems. Premium gas but mileage is good.

Fun to drive on a daily basis as a run about for errands. Reliable and good gas mileage. Smooth drive at highway speeds. It is expensive servicing.

My wife's Dream Car, What's not to like?

We enjoy this special car because of its unique appearance and build quality. The car is very stable on the highway and absorbs road imperfections well. The black metallic paint is of superior quality and shines beautifully (if clean). The gear shifter feels industrial in strength but the sun visors are very small and cheap. Seats are firm but comfortable for long distance cruising. Road noise can be heard from the rear when driving above 40 mph. The sound of the engine via the tail pipe is second only to the Porsche in the roadster class. Great safety is a given as is its long term durability. Learning the features of the car and the interior buttons may take time.

It's a soft smooth ride but hard on the butt and back .

I like everything but the seats !! They are not constable at all ..

Fun in an Mercedes slk hardtop convertible.

Performance is great and has been reliable. The ride is fun and smooth at highway speeds. It is quiet with the top up. Maintenance is expensive but not very often. Uses premium gas but the mpg makes up for that. It has the latest technologies for the time it was manufactured.
