most wonderful car in automotive history

words cannot do justice to this most fine auto in the history of automotive wonders. If I had to choose a rolls Royce or this auto my choice would be this luxury motor wonder.

Great Car !

Awesome car in all respects. Very reliable and timeless styling. Easily the best car I've ever owned. Very well designed and built. I still get great comments from people all the time.

Awesome driving experience!

Fast, fun, beautiful, uncommon. A thrilling driving experience. Top up or top down, an eyecatching ride! A Mercedes Benz improved immensely by their AMG Performance Division. See it and love it!

Turns heads from 3 to 93

From my early car crazy years I know kids recognize style at an early age and you cannot help but notice heads of all ages turning to look at this car which bodes well for it's future value. More than once I've stopped to stare at the classy lines, top up or down. It appears to be simple but in fact it's quite electronically sophisticated. I bought a used 2005 only because my wife had to have it, and soon learned it was docile, yet fast and cool to drive. It's a keeper!

A head turner

For a car to be 12 yrs old and still look like new and get more gawks and OMGs, this is the car to own if you want to impress or feel invincible. It is a very fun car to drive but for me it is now becoming too small, as I am ready to be a mom, no longer can I drive a 2 dr coupe. :(

VERY STYLISH AND EXCITING

For as long as I knew this car I wanted to have it. I loved it with all my heart. My family and all my friends knew. When I came home with it it was all smiles. All my colleagues came in numbers when I arrived with it for the first time. It is such a beautiful car. Yes its too small inside as a standard for such a car but you get consoled every step of the way. You feel when you are aleep, when you wake up and when you drive it. Its like you have achieved it all.

SLK55 AMG Best Bang for the buck.!

just got a SLK55 AMG 7 months ago. Drove 10k miles on her already. It's a dream car for me..like the big V8...lots of power..The car looks fantastic.. Come on its a baby SLR Mac.! 24mpg highway ac on 70mph average. The car is a performer..for the money nothing looks better and is faster than her. Love it.!

Fun to Drive

I have only had this car less that a month and don't have an issue with the car, but more so the dealer that sold me the car. Sold it to me with a defective tire and then has refused to make it right. Now the A/C has gone out. Not the car's fault. It is a used vehicle, after all. Car is absolutely gorgeous and so much fun to drive. Handles like a DREAM. It sits very low to the ground so you do feel every bump. Doesn't bother me at all but might bother some. I just got rid of a CLK so if you are wanting the ride of a CLK, you won't get that. It's definitely more sporty. It's definitely a head turner!! And quite a bit of trunk space which you wouldn't expect. This care is AWESOME!
