Overview & Reviews
In addition to more powerful engines, slightly quicker steering and various styling tweaks (that include a revised grille, front airdam and taillights), the 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class lineup is graced with the introduction of a 50th Anniversary Edition SL550 to celebrate five decades of this classy roadster.
- Heavy for a "sports car," fussy audio and navigation controls, limited cargo capacity.

Fun Fancy and Frivolous - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By orangele - January 30 - 2:36 pmThis is my third SL-class car I have owned in the past 3 years. I would have never gotten an SL55 except for the large price mark-down from the sticker since this is a lease return. This car obviously has the most power (510 hp), and thus the first time I floored the pedal, I said "WOW." This car does move. The motorized hard top is definitely cool, and makes the car versatile. It is also luxurious inside. Finally this car is expensive. Thus fun, fancy and frivolous.

2007 Some good- some bad - 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Repeat Buyer - May 13 - 7:40 amI previously owned a 2005 SL500. The car is indeed more powerful reflecting the increase in horsepower. I actually do not like some of the minor interior changes. For instance, I do not like the change in the hard-top controller handle-switch. The previous switch had a red light incorporated in it to indicate when the up or down function was complete. The current switch no longer has this light indicator, and now you must turn your head around to look. I cannot figure out if the current model has voice control or not, while the 05 model voice control was standard. I do like the bluetooth module allowing use of your personal phone.

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 Outdated 6-cd changer.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
