  Great Car - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Don O - May 29 - 2:00 am

  This is a great car that is just as quiet as any hardtop when the top is up and wonderful with the top down. The electronics are a little over the top and the car should be about $15K less however then more people would have them.

  Leg room - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By ron - May 19 - 2:26 pm

  The car handles well, I gave up a 650i I am 6,5" and had a lot more leg room than the SL gives. More color choice and wish the seat would go back even more. Overall love the car

  I have wanted to buy a SL500 for a few years and when I saw the redesigned version I did so. Absolutely the best car I have ever owned.

  Theyve Come A Long Way - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By 2nd time around - April 10 - 2:00 am

  This is my second SL in 7 years and boy have they changed. The car is absolutely gorgeous and has all of the key luxury items that one would want. Aside from the sports package add on I did no options. Still the features, comfort, and styling are overwhelming. Its an excellent and awesome car.

  not too bad - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By BArianfield - April 5 - 10:00 am

  I bought this SL500 last summer and so far it has been a reliable, comfortable car that also handles like a Porsche. I am not too sure about the exterior styling. Some people mistake my car for an SLK which is a lot cheaper. I dont know about you, but I hate that! Otherwise, this is a wonderful sports car loaded with convenience features and Mercedes cachet.

  You cant go wrong! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By 2007 - December 3 - 2:00 am

  I first drove the 03 model in Vegas through an excellent package from the Ritz -Carlton & MBUSA, for an additional $30 from your room - club level- you get to pick a Benz to drive! I fell in love with this car, I had owned 2 previous generations of SL an 81 and a 71. This baby is built solid, The new 04 comes with a 7 speed gear box and standard 18" wheels. Dont spend the extra 5100 for sports pack, you wont know the difference.

  All About The Experience - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Scott - October 26 - 5:20 am

  I bought the car new and have driven in all types of conditions. It is the most amazing car I have owned and I have owned a lot! It is a sports car, racing car, convertable (Of course), city car, road car, sedate car or beast depending on what you ask it to do. It is stealty because its little brother the Sl500 or SL 550 is common and other drivers assume that is what you are driving until you turn on the speed. What a surprise in their eyes through your rear view mirror! This car is a total experience - fun. Only caution is "it eats tires." If you want performance expect to change them every 5,000 miles or so. Performance not important, why did you buy this car?! I want a Ferrari599F1 next
