Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Vario roof, solid-as-a-tank engineering, roomy interior for a roadster
Cons: Engine/exhaust sound, touring-biased handling, needs V6 engine, unacceptable storage space with top down, fake carbon fiber trim, firm and flat seats
In the context of Mercedes' production model lineup, the SLK230 can certainly qualify to be the lightest and sportiest car it offers. But in the context of its competitors, the BMW Z3 and Porsche Boxster, the SLK is hampered by a number of compromises to...

Pros: Balance of Practicality and Performance
Cons: For LOCAL Fun Driving ONLY
It was lust at first sight when, three years ago, I saw a beautiful little two seat roadster with a HARDTOP that folded almost invisibly into the trunk with the touch of a button. On a practical basis that hard top provides the weather tightness and...

Pros: beautiful, reliable, quiet
Cons: could have more horsepower
After much discussion and hesitation I decided to give up my Infiniti Q45. I reviewed it a few months ago. Take a look if you feel like it. I thought I was devoted to a big, fast sedan. One ride in my bright yellow 2000 SLK convinced me otherwise....

Pros: everything
Cons: price, only a two seater
Not much you can you say bad about this car. It has amazing features. The breaks are amazing, and can stop on a dime. The traction, as well is great, so you could take turns going 70 mph. Don't get me started about the acceleration I'm serious, but...

Pros: Everything is great!!
Cons: Only seats two- (2) people
I have always wanted a convertible, and decided on the 2001 SLK 320. Mercedes-Benz has always had a reputation for excellent customer service, and safety. These factors contributed greatly, to my decision.
There are many new features for the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: With exception of transmission, generally meets expectations.
Cons: Became obsolete almost over night.
Since Jbratek never even drove the SLK 230, he could not possibly comment with authority on the car's transmission, acceleration and handling. Thus, the only explanation for his opinions being so accurate is that he plagiarized published remarks made by...

Pros: Nice Looking Car
Cons: Price
When someone is charging $55,600 plus shipping for a convertible, you expect a little more than the wind in your hair.
You expect a Miss or Mr. Universe body, extraordinary design and quality, and a little show business. And you get them...

Pros: Trick Top, Great Looks
Cons: Interior a Little Cheap
After 5-days and 500 miles with my new 2001 SLK 230, I continue to be very impressed with this vehicle. My car has the 6-speed manual transmission, and only two options - the dealer installed CD changer, and the K1 package, which includes power 8-way...

Pros: Is Stylish
Cons: No power
I have owned a couple Mercedes in my life and I thought this was the worst one I have ever owned. I felt that I paid to much for too little. I think if I would have got a 5-speed then it would have been a little different, but not much. If I would...

Pros: style, hardtop
Cons: speed, performance
The Mercedes SLK has been one of my favorite vehicles for a long time. I have been both the driver and passenger of the SLK230 and the new SLK320. If you are looking for a real sports car, you should take a look at the Honda S2000 of the M Roadster. The...

Pros: power hardtop, its a Mercedes-Benz
Cons: pricetag
The Bottom Line: The Mercedes SLK 320 is absolutely the best convertable you can buy this side of $100,000.
I've owned several high end convertibles, and the
Mercedes Benz SLK 320 is by far the best all around
convertible on the market today. It's power top gives it the

Pros: Looks great, handles well, hard top too!
Cons: Driver's seat a little hard to adjust.
This is my new love!! I have owned the 280D and 300E Mercedes prior to buying my new 2000 SLK. Nothing compares, even other Mercedes. I drove the Boxster first and then bought the SLK.
I love the way the top goes down in seconds. I can...

Pros: stylish, compact, bose stereo
Cons: underpowered, trunk shrinks the 3.5 cubic feet with the top down
At first glance this car resembles the more heralded SL-series that has been the benchmark for style and luxury in the convertible class. But take a closer look and one will quickly learn that the car designed in the vision of the classic mercedes...

Pros: Handles well, retractable hard top, stylish, sporty, reliable, Mercedes quality
Cons: Trunk is small when top is down
My Jetta was 9 years old and had a ton of miles on it, not to mention that the bumper was stolen (can you believe it?!), the antenna was broken, and the paint was ruined from the couple years I lived in Florida. In short, it was time for a new car.

Pros: it's free for 2000
Cons: no cargo space
Now Mercedes are offering a special edition package for the remainder of the 2000 SLK models. And the best part is, it's 100% free....think about the higher resale value it would have because there are only a limited amount made just for 2000. Mercedes...
