2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class consumer reviews

I?ve loved this car from the first time I test drove it to the day I accepted delivery. I? m constantly getting compliments on how beautiful the car is.

I have test driven this vehicle, and at 6'3" I fit nicely. The ride is fairly comfortable and smooth, certainly not as rough as the 2004 BMW Z4 I just sold. I love the sleek exterior styling, and the interior that I choose, IE beige leather seats, burl walnut trim and steering wheel. The model that I test drove was a 350, but I bought a 250. Turbo charged and still 200 HP, but better gas mileage, up to 33 MPG on the highway. Time will tell, but I expect to enjoy this car for many years to come, probably 10-15 years. I only put 4 stars for reliability because I really don't know what it will be, but I expect pretty good based on reviews and Mercedes build quality. I can't wait to start driving this car in the Spring!

Great for in town but longer road trips can get a little cagey. Great fuel mileage, avg around 28 mpg. Great looking car, a real head turner with the top down.

This car is more than I could have asked for. I used to own a 2008 that I absolutely loved, and this one is even better. Couldn't be happier!

The SLK is a fun and sporty convertiblrpe. It has all the amenities anyone could ever want in a sports car.

This car is amazing! The design is sleek and sporty! I love driving this car! I love the Mercedes bumper to bumper warranty. Total piece of mind!

Working with Keenan motors was a pleasure. Mark, the Internet sales manager, was a pro. He was knowledgeable, cordial, and experienced. The car is a fun drive. I was surprised by the resonance of the exhaust, it's awesome., a fun drive.

I wanted a hardtop convertible as a second fun car, and the SLK was the best of the lot: more refined than the Z4, more fun than 3 series. The 250 has plenty of performance yet gets good mileage. I'm not drag racing, but it's plenty fast enough to be fun and pass or merge without problems -- and I get 30+ MPG on the freeway. A civilized ride, but feels very sticky around the corners. The heater, seat heater, wind blocker, airflow control, and airscarf all work together to make top-down driving fun and comfortable even in quite chilly weather. We've had the experience of being warm and comfortable as long as we were driving along at 60 MPH, and getting cold as soon as we stopped. The red leather upholstery looks great with the red exterior. My only complaint is the legroom. I'm nearly 6'6", and while there's plenty of headroom, I only fit with the seat nearly all the way back, which severely limits other seat adjustments. I'd happily give up room under the hood for that V8 I didn't want in exchange for a few extra inches of seat travel. I could also do without the artificially enhanced engine noise. I prefer my cars as close to silent as possible, and they obviously went out of their way to have this sound "exciting" at full throttle. But overall I'm delighted. It's lots of fun for cruising down the coast with the top down while still perfectly usable for daily travel or occasional longer trips.

I Just purchased a 2012 SLK55 AMG for my wife. I am very impressed with this little car. Comfort- Its much more comfortable than my C63 and I feel as though I can drive for hours. I feel getting in and out is also easier than the SL63. The command unit is a breeze to navigate as well. Style- unfortunatley, our car is black and I feel it detracks from the styling cues the AMG has to offer. I would certainly choose a different color. Performance- Not too shabby. the little 415hp engine gets up to speed well. The ECU is very tame in Comfort mode and not sharp enough for me in Sport. I wish it was a little more aggressive. Overall, this car has great utility for a tiny little roadster. Very civilized and sporty when desired. I would only purchase the AMG version, but I'm a AMG fanatic.

I have owned my 2012 GLK350 for 5 months, and really enjoy driving it every day. I mainly drive it for commuting to work in city with overall milage about 20mpg. Happy with it! I like the exteral design. It's a sharp, hard-core feeling. Strongly recommend it!
