5 star review

I have been very pleased with both the car and the dealer. In 3 years I have only one thing go wrong, and that was rectified without charge, the day after I rang to enquire about the problem, although the car was technically outside the 3 year warranty. I tend to drive my car on long runs and rarely use it for local trips. I find it a joy to drive and very economical. I cannot see me changing it for several years. I particularly like the seven speed gearbox and the sweet running engine.

5 star review

Very fast, good road holding, best driven with roof down and radio off to really appreciate the exhaust. Not cheap but an investment as it holds the 2nd hand value. Buy one with airscarf if possible.

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class AMG 55 2005

5 star review

I really just can’t fault it except for high tyre noise caused by British Road surfaces; it€™s wonderfully quiet on French and Dutch roads. Its solid with no rattles, has the look and feel internally that everything right down to the rear view mirror was thought about and designed properly. (It has map reading lights in it so positioned that they are more over your lap). Externally just walking towards it makes you admire it. Roof and heated airscarfs make ’topless’ an option more than you might have thought. Boot a fair size too. Only drawback is class 20 insurance and i am in my late 50s with a currently clean license.

3 star review

There is no doubt that this is a better car than it's previous incarnation, when it was universally slated for it's lack of ability to live up to it's billig as a sports car. Better looking, nicer to drive and more willing to be pushed hard. The 2.0 litre four cylinder engine however will never feel like it has enough power to justify the aggressive looks which hold supercar pretensions.

This car turns heads. If you want a car with power, class and the power to make peoples jaws drop you cannot get a better car in this price range. Just amazing to drive, not least from the reactions you get from other people. Love it.
