Overview & Reviews

Sirius Satellite Radio is a no-cost option, and run-flat tires are now available. The bi-xenon headlamps now include corner-illuminating foglamps, and the optional AMG sport package gets a new 18-inch wheel design. A tire-pressure monitor is now standard on all roadsters. The SL600 loses its integrated telephone, but gains the formerly optional Keyless Go and heated steering wheel as standard equipment.

• Seductive style, quick-folding retractable hardtop, commendable performance, ride and handling.

• Heavy for a "sports car," limited cargo capacity.

  Adds zest to my commute - 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Don - November 27 - 7:16 am

  The SL55 puts track performance and handing capabilities into a comfortable street legal vehicle. That would be difficult to improve upon. I have owned other more exotic sports cars, some at twice the price, and the SL55 is the best to date. Anyone considering the SL65 should go to the SL55 instead. The added 800 pounds up front in the SL65 has a huge negative impact on handing, which is why the SL55 consistently beats on US and European tracks.

  Fun in Chicago - 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

  Great riding car. Extremely quiet and yet fast as hell. Best on the open road. However, for slower driving the SL55 was more fun to drive in city traffic.

  Performance, Luxury, Muscle Car all in one - 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Jim - September 9 - 7:53 pm

  My SL55 has been the car I always wanted. It outperforms the 2 year old Porshe I turned, in all catagories. It is faster, corners better and much more comfortable. The hard top convertible gives you a quiet ride when up.I have had a few minor electronic problems that were fixed quickly I have the SL 65 sport package on mine. It is the same car as an SL65 without the extra 800 pounds in the motor and only 111 less H.P. This is the best production sports,luxury,Muscle car on the road. The downside, They charge you for all 3 cars.It beats almost everything. If you can afford a $145,000 car, This is the best car on the road.

  One of the greatest cars ever! - 2006 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Mike - June 24 - 2:53 pm

  I purchased this car in pewter with ash interior. The wheels are awsome, they are graphite with bolts surrouding. The tailamps are darkened as a standard feature, and 65 AMG body kits are great. The 600+ hp is wicked, and when starting up you might want to tell the neighbors in case there sleeping. The navigation is so easy! Buttons are at an easy reach and long drives dont make you feel numb and the need to stretch is unheard of. The folding top lets you hear the 600+ hp noise even better, especially when excellerating at low speeds. 180k + price list but my gosh its worth every penny!

  By Charles D.Harris - June 14 - 2:23 am

  I wanted an SL when they changed the body-style in 03. This has that classic design and style. You cant help but admire it and there are no shortages of folks who tell you that!
