sl550 saved my life - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By megaautoparts - December 24 - 10:53 pmI bought my 2007 sl550 with 3800 miles on nov 5 2009 on nov 6 2009 I was hit head on by an accelerating Jeep Cherokee that turned into my lane across a double yellow line, car was totaled but I walked away with some disc and whiplash injuries. There is no doubt this car saved my life, I traded a 2004 Corvette and a 2005 slk350 to get this sl550. If I was in any other car I would have been killed. There is no doubt this car saved my life, I am buying another one and will never buy any other car. Thank you Mercedes for your build quality and crash worthiness.

The Perfect Drop Top - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Sg5845 - March 24 - 1:36 pmI have owned my SL 550 for about 18 months so I have driven it in all conditions. I have to say it is absolutely the finest car I have ever owned. When the top is up, it is as quiet as they come. I often conduct handsfree conference calls in it and people think I am at the office it is so quiet. When the top is down, oh man, it is awesome. The car is plenty fast in the SL550 trim but if you need a rocket ship, go for the SL55 or 65. But be careful, learn how to drive a car with that kind of power! The ride is smooth and acceleration is excellent. I live in a big city where the interstates are competitive. I have all the power I need in this car. I would highly recommend it!

Second SL55 AMG - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By 4ocious - December 28 - 10:36 amAfter driving an 06 SL55 AMG I traded my fully optioned and modified 04 CLK55 AMG for this fully optioned car with the 030 Performance Package. I had it less than a month when it was totaled on 12/31/08. I am so impressed by this car I bought an 07 SL55 AMG with the 030 and all options after the insurance claims were settled. For comparison I tested the 09 Shelby GT500KR, 09 Chev Corvette Z06, 07 BMW 650i convt, 08 BMW 550 Sport and an 08 SL550 Sport. I even considered an 08 CLK63 Black Series. Personally, I think the SLs are great cars that can do everything very well. Although it is not as nimble as my previous 03 BMW M5 and 02 M3 its still my 1st choice. Its stablemate is a great 05 E55.

2007SL550 - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Erie CPA - December 4 - 4:23 pmTraded 2005 SL500 on 2007 SL550. As nice as the 05 was, the new 07 is more powerful, quieter and has a much better steering feel.

Great Automobile - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Clint Roy - October 12 - 4:46 pmI traded a 07 Corvette - fully loaded, it was a great American car, but no comparison to my new SL 550. Performance, handling, quality interior and exterior are beyond my expectations. I have had many MB automobiles since my first 1988, this is by far the best.

Dream car - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Don Theriault - September 30 - 11:06 pmI picked up the silver SL550 with the AMG sport package, panoramic roof and red interior Thursday, Aug. 17. 2006. I turned in my leased 02 Lexus SC430, which was the best car I ever owned for quality and fun. At this point, 1200 miles, I am still pinching myself. Awesome performance and I love just to stare at it. The gas mileage I had read was bad, but already I dont notice any difference from my Lexus 430 V8. The only thing I miss from the Lexus is the tilting down rear view mirrors when reversing.

This Is It! - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Warren - January 7 - 5:26 amThis is absolutely amazing. To integrate total luxury with total performance (in an automatic) is an achievement. The handling is exceptional, particularly in sharp turns.

A grown-up toy - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Elle - October 13 - 8:26 amThe power of 510 ponies cannot be beat when youre behind a truck, along side a slow poke, or just dying to feel the wind in your hair. Tons of truck space, all the bells, tolerable gas mileage, and fun, fun fun. Just wish people didnt park right next to me all the time!

Nothing exceed$ like exce$$ - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By D.L. - September 15 - 5:26 amStylish. Average MPG 11. Cheap vinyl visors. Sits low, getting in/out hard. Average quality leather. Terrible navigation. Command system is technology from 80s Radio Shack computers. Outdated 6-cd changer. Unless you keep A/C on auto (which gets loud) awful mildew smell emits from inside car--unevaporated H2O in pump system. Some things dont work from 1st day like cupholder. Porsche & BMW = better handling but SL550 better than SC430. Interior leather & wood & ergonomics are better in Lexus by far! but are better than 911 & 650i. Sound system: 1=sc430, 2=BMW & Infiniti, 3=911 & SL550. Build quality sub-par, very bad. You buy this car for sense of prestige not because its the best- its not

A refined SL - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By A better SL - August 8 - 6:20 pmThis is my third SL since the new style was introduced in 2003. The 2007 model is the best I have driven to date. Everything in the car is updated and refined. If Mercedes quality whent down a bit, it is back to a higher standered with the 2007 edition.
