  • Most Fun to Drive - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    Having owned many versions of Porsche 911, a BMW M3, a 740i and a 850 and both a Ferrari Testarossa and a 550 Maranello I have to admit this is the top of my list in overall satisfaction.It has more raw power than even the 550, and yet it is controlled by the latest technology that gives you the opportunity to snarl or purr as you navigate all that torque and horse power. Great design and all year convertible to hard top options. See yah flying down the highway or eating up those curves on roads like Highway 1 in California. Thank you Mercedes!

    SL55 has it all. There is not another car out there with the looks, performance, luxury, and drop top for less than 3 times the cost. Finest car I have ever owned. Would not trade for any Ferrari.

  • One Docs "Mission Dark" point - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    I have owned several Porsches, including the twin turbo and a race car. The comparison is simple: The SL500 is a masterpiece in design and performance. It puts out every one of the 300+ horses, on demand, with elegance and style. The only problem I have had has been the roof noise, which Mercedes claims to have figured out, but I am still taking it in for lub jobs. Thank god for the loaners! Niko

    simply amazing, so fast, so comfortable, so luxurious.. WOW!

  • SL 500 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    Truly the best engineered car I have owned. It is my 4th SL. The convertible hard-top also has a glass panoramic roof. Highway mileage is nearly 23 miles per gallon at 8o mph. The ride firmness is adjustible for Sunday comfort or serious cornering. Very quiet with the top down, which is as often as possible
