Very good miles per gallon. I average 24 but still utilize the sports mode.
It is an inexpensive yet luxurious car if purchased 2nd hand. Super fun to drive and despite being a sports car it really holds the road. The hard top convertible roof is fabulous and It's a very reliable car.

The top is easy to put down with the push of a button.
I love the ease of drive and the convertible top. Also that it is a hard top. I dislike the trunk space.

A great car
Had my used 2014 SLK 250 full loaded for a year now. It stayed in the garage under a cover for the winter but have put 3000 miles on it. My opinion of the car is... I love it. Being 72 this thing is a perfect for me. It makes me feel young and pampered at the same time. I read the reviews and I don't care if it's not the fastest or corners the best. What MB has done with the SLK 250 is create a reliable, affordable well engineered fun to drive hard top convertible sports car. So what's not to like?

It's a hard-top convertible roadster that seats only two people
This is a hard-top convertible roadster. It's lots of fun to drive. We use it around town running errands and going places, and on short trips out;of town. We also have a BMW X5 we use for longer trips and times when we need more trunk space.

Great roadster but not practical for a family
Great sporty car. Very small with only 2 seats so not always practical. Runs great and Mercedes provides a great warranty and easy service with loaner car. AMG wheels make the tires expensive and they don't last as long as other cars I've had in the past. Hard top retractable roof is awesome. I love this car

Slk-350, small but mighty!
I absolutely love my car, it is small but it is super powerful, I have always loved two doors and despite it being small it is so comfortable. I have a beautiful red interior with red lighting when it is dark and the center console is a beautiful wood finish. Such a classy car, and such a perfect performance.

The hardtop convertible aspect is what truly sets this car apart from others.
Hardtop Convertible. Great styling. FUN to drive. Responsive. Often get compliments on it. Great quality. 2nd one we've owned. Bought it used so it's very affordable. GPS is a little weird. Some of the tech features aren't the most current offering.

Glove box
I love my car except the glove box keeps coming apart delaminating. Mercedes fixed it once under warranty and now it has done it again. Mercedes sent me to the dealer for a quote which was $1000. No one wants to cover the repair. I’m in a back and forth. It’s ridiculous that Mercedes doesn’t care about their product satisfaction

In conclusion my amazing Cadillac has not only been there but will always be.
I love that it does not take so much gas. It also runs very well and it quite efficient when it comes from going and coming to and from far places. Although the cars cost was very pricey it still gave me a sense of safety. I love this car and its ability to keep my family and I safe and ready on the go.

Truth about 250 Mercedes.
Gas capture on broke in half. Gloves box came unglued and you cannot use glove box unless you buy a new one for roughly 600.00. Expensive upkeep not a traveling car. Gas mileage is great and tires are holding up well. Car is a head turner which can be a pro and a con. Mercedes does not allow their cars to have the auto start from inside your home.
