Mercedes SLK 350

...already has an E Class Mercedes happened to mention it to one of the account managers at the Mercedes garage - he asked about the possibility of me having one for the day to test drive. Although there is a huge demand for them at the moment - he managed to wangle me one for the day the following week, which just happened to be on my 30th birthday! What a treat! Although I liked the look of the old style SLK, the new one is really something quite ...
...from a demonstrator model. Obviously, Mercedes want to show you all the gadgetry and toys that are available on the model. As is often the way with these things, you purchase the basic model and then have to pay for any 'extras' on top. In fact, what you get for the basic price is quite basic indeed. The standard equipment on the SLK 350 is as follows: == Exterior & Transmission == 6-speed manual Sequentronic transmission with cruise control & ...

Review of Mercedes SLK 350

...motor magazine describing the brandnew Mercedes convertible - the SLK 350 (R171). Since I retired recently I was looking for a "playmobile" for my golden years as there exists already a big Bavarian V8 limousine. My research on convertibles started more than a year ago and comprised vehicles such as the Porsche Boxster, the Audi TT and the Z4 from BMW. In autumn of 2003 after extensive testdrives I thought I was ready to order - the Z4 would be ...
...good as the Porsche but the price was € 10k lower. Just then I discovered pre-release pics of the SLK which was due to appear at the Geneva saloon in March 2004. I was fascinated by the SLR like design and the new 7G automatic transmission. Still these features didn´t put the new SLK ahead of the Z4, the determining feature for me was the improved vario-roof, an electric folding metal roof that sinks into the trunk, which makes the car an all-year-round ...

Review of Mercedes SLK 350

...what I think of the Mercedes SLK 350. I have always enjoyed Mercedes cars and my SLK experiences started with a 2002 SLK 320 Manual. It was bright red and my, so called, friends refered to it as a "hairdressers" car! Looks aside, it was not a bad car, the gearbox was a bit notchy and the suspension was not very sporty but on the whole I quite liked it. So when I first took delivery of my SLK 350 auto with the F1 style front end and the more powerful ...
...a problem with ALL modern Mercedes auto's and the SLK is not alone. The Interior cabin of SLK is quite well appointed, if a little on the small side. There is a distinct lack of accessible storage and trying to find find somewhere to put your house keys, mobile phone and pack of gum is quite a challenge. The folding roof is quite superb and should be a standard feature on all cars. The only small problem is the amount of luggage space space left ...

Review of Mercedes SLK 350

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.
