The hard top, the hard top and the hard top.

Stick shift improves performance drastically over auto, but is not as smooth as BMW. Some build-quality issues.

With restyled rear and bottom, the SLK Sports is a far more macho-looking machine than the regular SLK. Coupled with the newly available stick shift, it also performs in a much more satisfactory manner. The car is not cheap, but you will be getting the functionalities of both a convertible and a coupe with little if any compromise, making it the perfect choice in areas with a real winter. Besides, the SLK looks gorgerous in both forms. If the "Kompressor" tag is not enough for your vanity, simply puch the top up/down button and have the SLK perform the 007esque transormer trick. It will surely satiate any desire for public attention.

everything!

noise in the car while going high speeds.

Great car. Especially in the summer! :)

ROOF, DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT STORING OR REMOVING HARD TOP.
CHANGE FROM CONV TO HARD TOP IN LESS THAN 25 SECONDS/WAITING FOR LIGHT TO CHANGE.

SEATBELTS, VERY CLOSE QUARTERS FOR PUTTING ON SEAT BELTS.
HAVE TO BE A STATIONARY WHILE LOWERING/RASING THE TOP.

I WAS LUCKY TO PURCHASE MY 1998 230SLK WHICH CAME EQUIPT WITH THE LORINSER PACKAGE. IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS I HAVE PUT 500 MILES. OUT OF A POSSIBLE SCORE OF 1 TO 10, I GIVE IT A 8. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS CAR FOR ANY LADY WHO WANTS TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. AS FAR AS YOU GUYS ARE CONCERNED AS LONG AS YOUR NOT OVER 6' FEET YOU WILL HAVE A COMFORTABLE RIDE! GO FOR IT!

M Roadster. Corvette. Jaguar XKR. This is a Mercedes, more comfortable, better looking, and extremly fast!

Speed, lots of it. 0-60 in 5.2 and thats only because of wheel spin, AMG says if you can control it well, often you can go 0-60 in under 5. BMW M3 ea your heart out! This thing has 349 hp, and it will kill an ///M3. Its amazing!

17 inch wheels, no 18's but hey they are perreli's!

Hi, I am curently number one on a waiting list in New Jersey for a silver, with black/with silver inserts, SLK32 AMG. I am planning on selling my spot on E-bay for about 5,000. This is reasonable because dealers will be charging up to 8-10k over sticker. Plus this is the number one spot. It should be arriving in about just a month. July 26 is the day it will arrive, although the release date (the day they can sell it) may be a few days afterwards. If you are interested in purchasing not through ebay......I will make deals with people before i put it on ebay. I will be putting it on ebay in about 2 weeks (todays is June 23rd.) Please hurry and e-mail me if you are interested!!

Looks good and fun to drive ( when it works). Hardtop is great.

The worst vehicle I have ever owned! Quality is completely sub-standard. I've had it for a little over 7 months and it's been in the shop 7 times and counting. Everything from interior creaking to roof leaking to transmision leaking.

This car is a complete dissapointment. It's been in the shop so many times that it's ridiculous. Other than the convertible hardtop nothing else on the car works reliably. Even the trunk gets stuck closed. The interior is rather cheap for a mercedes and creaks atrociously. The car is rather obnoxiously creaky and rattly on the highways. Definitely a waste of money and time.

My wife fell in love with the car and now I have to buy a second one for me to drive!

Excellent car and excellent service from MB. Very comfortable to drive and with the top up it is as quiet as a sedan and there is enough trunk space for two suitcases if you want to take it cross country. Once you get to your destination, unload the suitaces and you've got a convertible.
