    After having owned 2 XKRs, I can say that the SL-class is a worthy adversary. Beauty (and brains) power this Mercedes machine! High-tech everything! VERY Comftorable! Fast! Fast! Fast!

    This is my 8th Mercedes and by far the most fun to drive. Not bad looking either!

  • my dream car ! ? - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    This car is an absolute dream to drive but the quality of the interior is not what a 100K should be. Very cheap feel wnd sounding. Ride is MUCH noisier than I thought it should be. Gas milage @15mi/gal around town. New back body design makes it look like a cheap car and not identifiable as an expensive Mercedes SL. Although I always buy SL Mercedes, this will be my last unless they make the car LOOK like 100K

  • Loving my 05 SL600 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    i have not yet put on 1000mi., but this is simply the most wonderful car I have ever driven. This car is an "iron fist in a velvet glove". It is smooth, silky, solid, and fast to drive. This black beauty is beautiful to behold, top up or down. This happens very quickly. The seats are comfortable, yet firm. Whether its a trip to the store, or a cruise up north for a 100 miles, I cant wait to drive it.

    this is a fun car to drive.everywhere you travel someone will ask you questions about your car.my vehicle has the amg package, to me that makes it look just a little nicer.if you got the money,this is the sport car for you.

    This car has been the car every little boy has ever dreamed of. I can sit here and write 100 pages on how this car is the best but go to your nearest dealer and test drive it 2day!!!!!

  • BLACK ON RED 2004 SL 500 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    This car has it all! Having driven BMWs for many years and being TOTALLY turned off by the new "edgy" Bimmer styling, I decided to go with a Benz to replace my 2000 BMW 540i Sports Sedan. The SL 500 handles better than the 540, is faster and looks BEAUTIFUL from any angle. The interior is also well designed, is comforatble and looks great! It is expensive @ $95,000 but the SLs are legendary and this car will contribute to the 50 year SL legacy.

  • If you want a headache buy an SL500 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    I waited and waited for my Red 2003 Sl500 to come in. The car had problems for the beginning....from break problems, knocking noises, radio going off, roof noise bulbs going out...should i go on? The last time it was in for service...the dealership got into an accident with it. I have not seen the car for 2 months b/c they are still working on it. They just want to fix it and give it back!! I wish I sent my $104,000 on something else. Do yourself a favor buy a Corvette and pocket the money you save...best bang for the buck and headache free! If you do decide to buy one GOOD LUCK!

  • simply put the ultimate driving machine - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    just when you think a car cant be outdone, Mercedes out did themself from the keyless go (optional) to the hard top glass covertable the performance and design of this car is perfect. Although the trunk space is minimal,everything else is perfect. If you can afford it, its a must have
