2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class consumer reviews

Although this car is not my everyday car (for that I kept my Toyota Corolla), it is definitely perfect for pleasure! Drop the top and take off. It is definitely luxury. It was very low mileage for a 2007, but very clean -- almost new -- and beautiful! It rides beautifully. Hugs the road and you cannot feel bumps -- so smooth! It does have a lot of power, though, so not for the faint of heart or the youngsters! The sound system is fabulous, too. Have been enjoying driving this more than I could have ever imagined. Cannot imagine ever getting rid of this car -- just wish I would have found it sooner! Actually pretty comfortable, too. Love the dual climate controls and the messaging seats. We are going to be driving it from Virginia to Iowa to visit my family soon and looking forward to the fun and frolic with this little beauty!

ive always loved the SL series cars. I seriously think I got a lemon or my car simply has a curse. Ive had all of the convertible top hydraulic systems break down. And spill fluid into the cockpit. Fixed that and then the pump in the trunk stopped working. Ive also had to replace the transmission with only 60k miles at a cost of well over 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS! Im now stuck with this car with the money ive put into repairs.

Extremely powerful, but comfortable even at a casual pace. Makes roads seem somehow smoother, even with firm, sporty ride and handling. Amazing car. This is my second one.

I'm reviewing the SL600 with AMG package. First of all, it is an absolute blast to drive! Incredibly fast and responsive, and handles like a dream. Goes around corners like it's on rails. The handling is precise and it will out "sport" most sports cars, yet the ride is silky smooth. Don't be fooled by the naysayers who complain that it's "too heavy and luxurious". When you push it, it's an absolute rocket ship. Imho it also may be one of the best looking cars ever built, whether the top is up or down. Every line from every angle is sleek and curvy. As far as maintenance goes, just maintain it well and it'll treat you well. If you don't maintain it yourself, find a mechanic who knows the V-12. Stay away from the dealers and from your local mechanic who's not familiar with it. And don't forget to change the hydraulic fluid periodically, contrary to what the Mercedes dealers will tell you.

This car was in excellent condition. 22,000 miles clean car fax. One owner. No dings great leather. Changed to 550 in 07 from SL 500 on 06. Quick enough!! All I’ve done is change out ALL FLUIDS. Cost a bit to do. Overall elated with purchase

The Transmission would not get into Park. Needed whole gear box changed. The Engine mounts needed to be changed. The washing fluid container started leaking. The break fluid leaked. The trunk stopped opening. The Key deprogrammed suddenly...and so on and so on...and so on....

This car has enough power for me and my wife. Had a 2005 SL but it wasn’t enough power. The 07 has 82 horses more and you can feel the difference. The only thing lacks is the command center... no touch screen and back up camera. It’s not and easy fix because it’s a “Fiber Optic” system which means that it will cost you minimum of $1500.00 to replace. Other than that we love the car!

We purchased this vehicle from the owner who had it for 11 years. It was meticulously maintained and only has 42,000 miles. I drove it home for over 150 miles. The car was incredibly comfortable and the gas mileage on the highway was about 25 miles per gallon. We are enjoying the car and I can’t wait for the cool months in south Florida to put that top down. I am glad we got this car and I think we will keep it for a long time.

This car is stylish, fast, comfortable and solid. I like this car very much but wish I had my 04 XJR back that a deer totaled out. I wish the boot would hold 2 sets of golf clubs, but other than that not much to complain about. Great car in great condition

I?ve had my SL550 sport (AMG package) for 3 1/2 years now and it brings a smile to my face every single time I fire up that gorgeous engine. Oil and filter changes and one battery change has been it since I have owned this beauty. Drives like a dream and looks stunning albeit being 11, going on 12 years old. I highly recommend this vehicle and hope to have mine into old age!
