Road tests

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class

Mercedes SLK now enters its third generation and it gains a bit more attitude than before courtesy of some SLS-alike styling. The cabin also borrows some of its style from Merc’s gullwinged supercar, but the SLK still remains one of the most friendly, usable and likeable roadsters on the market. It [...]

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class

280 - The Mercedes SLK is a car that is a strange phenomenon, positioned by the maker as a roadster, it is aimed at sports car enthusiasts. This is fine when you look at the car in isolation but put it in a group of vehicles in the same sector and you feel that this car has been misplaced. We put the SLK [...]

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class 350 7g Auto 2005

The salesman didn’t have to sell me the car - It sold itself to me. It just looks sooo good. The wife loves it and she generally doesn’t really care too much for cars. Have owned it for 2 months now and it’s great fun to drive, the V6 3.5L has plenty of power and mated with the 7 speed auto a thrilling drive. And with the roof down the V6 sounds awesome. I have had no problems at all and has returned an average 27mpg over the last 1,000 miles, which is good for this performance. I would change it in, for a SLK 55 AMG if I had to change it :-) Handling isn’t as taut as a BMW but the Zed doesn’t quite have the looks. It is a very practical car too, just room for you and a friend, no kids!

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK280 2006

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.

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class 2006

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

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.

Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK 200 Kompressor

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.
