Mercedes SLK

Mercedes SLK 230

Advantages: Very stylish, nice to own and drive.
Disadvantages: Very little luggage space with the roof down.

...sitting there in the local Mercedes dealer's showroom and following a test drive we decided to buy it. At the time, this Mercedes dealership afforded a first class service and was a pleasure to deal with, but more about that in another opinion. What a brilliant piece of engineering this car was with it's folding roof, watching the whole thing disappear into the boot at the touch of a button. The bodywork was finished in silver with a black leather ...
...Excellent brakes and the usual Mercedes build-quality. An easy car to drive with it's smooth 5 speed automatic gearbox and improved still further on the facelift models with the 'tip function' which offers semi-manual operation. When driving with the roof down ensure the wind deflector is fitted across the roll bars if you do not like it too windy. We had this first SLK 230 just over 2 years. It covered 22,000 miles with no problems. One new set ...

Mercedes SLK 350

Advantages: amazing drive
Disadvantages: automatic can get annoying

The SLK 350 is an immense vehicle.It has a 3.5L V6 engine. It is an automatic but with the ability to drive it as a manuel and in sports mode. Any owner of a car like this would need to know the specs of it. It is one of the top of the range cars, with a decent top speed and nice acceleration. If you really ove fast cars then yuo would get the supercharged version of this motor, adds a bit onto the price but from what i can tell it really is worth ...
...the engine will get the extra fe MPH out of it, increasing the top speed from about 175 to about 188. This is not for the feint hearted, it is for skilled drivers who want a car they can drive properly. Technical Specs: Engine Standard Engine 3.5L V6 Standard Transmission 7 Speed Automatic Cylinders 6 Horsepower RPM268@6000 Number of Valves 24 Torque RPM258@2400 (foot-lbs) Brakes, Steering, Suspension & Tires Brakes (Front) Disc Brakes (Rear) ...

Over the hills

Advantages: Economy,resale value
Disadvantages: space

I must admit to having been sceptical about buying one of these.It was an image thing really.Not that I worry if people think that I am gay,a hairdresser,or both.But she wanted it,so I did a deal in a diner on the A1 with a Geordie property developer who was short of cash. £23,000 in notes in a Morrison's carrier bag. I was unimpressed.The ride was hard as the hobs of hell,and if you drove over a 10p coin you could tell whether it was heads or tails.Then ...
...and low profile tyres.I replaced them with standard width wheels and Michelin Premacy tyres.The result-a ride transformation and 4/5 mpg extra.The week after I got it I decided to try it out properly.It was mid november but there was really only one place to go,it had to be Monte Carlo.I drove down in two days, her indoors after having crazed for the car flew down to Nice and I picked her up at the airport.It was the drive of a lifetime,over the ...

SLK- Must be a women

Advantages: Brand style and true Luxury
Disadvantages: Back seat...

After buying the Mercedes SLK 32 AMG a couple of months ago, because I needed a something to get me from the city to home in Belgravia. I can say I was so pleased with the car me and my wife flew to Germany to pick up my baby. Having had BMW convertibles for most of my working life it was a change. It wasn't cheap at 45k but worth every penny, the test is after changing my car every couple of years I don't think I could trade in my baby for anything ...
...told her to call the Mercedes call center and they had a new key to her within the hour (this was the London rush hour) Mercedes has outstanding service from it's lifetime rust guarantee and peace of mind of mobilolife. Not to mention the quarterly magazine you always feel Mercedes is there. Well since my wife borrowed my car one day after her's was in the garage she immediately wanted one, so we now have two! there great cars reliable and good for ...

Review of Mercedes SLK 32 AMG

Ich liebe mein Auto

Advantages: Everything, pure craftsmanship, AMG, handling
Disadvantages: I look like a lady in it!

...4.8 seconds but that is mercedes measure and they do seem to be dodgy on their recordings. Its also great to park being so small so i can trust my wife with it in a multi-story car park! The car goes slightly fast if you turn off the ESP (Electronic Stability Program), this prevents wheel spin and such so take it off then you can go for a real test drive. As with all mercedes nowadays the interior is modern and squeaky! The two tone colour seats ...
...have tried to match the mercedes elegance and all have failed miserably so get the real Mcoy. The most funniest thing about this car is that it weighs in at about 3,200 3,300 lbs which makes it heavy for a car in its class. It has automatic transmission and still it flies past people on the streets better than anything in its class. I love this car so much and I have to say the Germans do it alot better than us, the americans, the japanese and the ...
