  Great trunk room for a hardtop convertible. While great interior room, week thigh support. Great balance of sport and luxury ..... GT touring. Need DVD based GPS. Good road to steering wheel marriage.

  The Rocketship - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By gr82fly - August 2 - 10:00 am

  The AMG package makes this Benz a rocket. It is quiet and handles like a dream. This Benz is the best of the four that I have owned. Some quibble about limited trunk space. Name me a rocketship that does have a spacious trunk.

  The Ultimate Car - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By apb - July 23 - 7:13 pm

  This car has it all; performance of a supercar, beautiful in and out, luxury, hardtop and convertible. Drive it only in Manual Mode and the suspension and transmission rivals race cars yet it is so full of luxury and a convertible of hard top for winter or foul weather.

  First SL - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By ec - July 6 - 2:00 am

  Modern look with classy lines. This 50th anniversary edition is true to the 1954 300SL in looks but a little light on performance. This car should be faster. Also, light knocking on acceleration is annoying. New 7 speed transmission is very smooth. Handling with 18 inch wheels is superb. Steering is a bit heavy at slow speeds and you can tell this is a heavy car. But at highway speeds, its a dream. If you have the money, this is the hardtop convertible to get.

  Six years makes no difference - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Billy V - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Ive always wanted a supercar, a 2-seater and a convertible. We got all three and got it in this car. Ive always enjoyed driving, have favored Mercedes over other brands once I started buying them. I had Audi and BMW top line cars in the past and the final kicker than makes the Benz best for me (besides being able to handle my 1.97 m height)is superior quality and service. The M-B people have always taken exceptional care of my cars and I am a fussy one. Buying a 2004 model, the only real limitation I did not pay enough attention to was the dated transmission, it does not shift responsively enough with that motor and especially with the steering wheel buttons/early paddle shifters.
