  more fun than a roller coaster - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By mark reynolds - October 11 - 10:00 am

  More on road performance than you could ever need on the open highway. This car performs superbly at high speed. Whether conering or racing down a straight stretch of road this car will amaze you. A luxury ride decieves you as you gaze out the window thinking you are travelling at maybe 2/3 your actual speed. Slowing down is no problem given the braking system on this vehicle. If you want to make your drive as enjoyable as possible you must own this car.

  Heaven on earth - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By maverick 15 - August 29 - 10:00 am

  I am 66" tall and always wanted a convertible but could never fit. The SL 500 gives me plenty of room. It took a long time for dealers to realize that tall people love convertables, but it was worth the wait.

  former BMW owner converted - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By DWL - July 23 - 10:00 am

  As a previous BMW owner I only abandoned the brand when their styling went its current direction. Im so glad I did. My SL 500 is simply the best car I have ever owned or driven. There is nothing about it I would change. Its a perfect car.

  This would be the best car if it was more reliable - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By sir_turtle - May 25 - 5:34 am

  I bought this 4 years old from mercedes dealer in reno. The car looks turn heads EVERYWHERE, Such a pleasure to drive, the 7 speed tranny shifts so smooth that its hard to tell how fast u are going because the power band is so smooth. The suspension creates such a smooth ride that you will notice how different it is then other cars. This has been my absolute fav car to drive, but what a nightmare to own. Battery in the trunk went and cost 300$ for new. you have to go to the dealer for everything because they need to reset the computer or else the car will constantly shut off as a gimmick to get you to the dealer. also suspension valve went and cost $3000 to fix, very common problem

  Its worth the love/hate aggravation - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Mr. Hankey - April 15 - 7:10 am

  I absolutely love this car! Many times in the past year, Ive hated it, too. Ive had numerous dealer visits ranging from minor adjustments all the way up to replaced superchargers. My dealer always takes care of me! Its way over-engineered, but again thats what I thrive on as well. Theres something great about driving literally the fastest, best handling car on the road, and then theres that level of AMG exclusivity too...I attended the Ultimate AMG Challenge Fall 04 in Germany and was fortunate to meet the one technician who assembled my cars engine.

  More fun than the day I got my license. - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Doug Cruce - January 23 - 10:00 am

  Its the most exciting car I have ever driven. People frequently roll down their window at stop lights to ask me questions about the car. Im always more interested in taking it out if the weather is good enough to put down the top. I havent had this much driving fun since the week I first received my drivers license (and that was 41 years ago).

  Get it - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By mpk - December 10 - 10:00 am

  the only problem I have found is with the breaks that they have promissed they will fix and the navigation needs improvement. But at least it works; unlike BMW 745 with a great NAV that does not work 1/2 the time.

  WOW - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By cclear - September 27 - 2:00 am

  Unbelievable power, hard or soft ride. I had a 2003 SL500, and an 2000 SL600 what a difference. You cant get enough road with this car...it just goes from one car to another. Design perfect, all options perfect. I LOVE THIS CAR
