This is very much initial thoughts as I have only owned my Merc for 3 weeks. I did own a new shape Nissan Micra but had yearnings for something a little different. First thoughts were for a Jaguar X-Type but the more I looked at them the less they impressed. Thoughts then turned to a convertable. After research on the internet I visited a local dealer to view a Toyota MR2 but soon realised this could only be a second car due to it's none existant boot!! As I was checking out the Toyota I couldn't help but see the bright yellow SLK sitting on the dealers forecourt. Ah you think, a yellow one, but believe me it looks fantastic, well to me and that's what matters. My initial thoughts were 'too expensive' but after doing my sums I thought 'well maybe'. The next step was a test drive. Setting off from home the skys were grey but as I arrived the sun broke through. The salesman drove the first few miles and I admired the build and quality of the interior. Automatic, black leather seats, air con, cruise control, all things that were alien to the type of cars I have previously owned. Then it was my turn to drive, first job, get that roof down..... What a piece of engineering the roof is, press one button and back it goes, no catches to release, no covers to fit when down everything is automatic. The car drove beautifully, 6yrs old but only 40,000 miles and not a squeek or rattle to be heard. The car handles well and with a 2.3litre supercharged engine it 'aint slow. Once back to the forecourt my mind was made up, I had to have it and placed a deposit there and then. A decision I have not regretted as yet. I will update this review when I have lived with the car for a while as I have no real idea as to fuel consumption or other running costs.
