  Best ever - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By tandan - April 8 - 11:06 pm

  Is it a coupe or is it a convertible? It is both and the best ever of each. After 4700 mi. I am a happy camper. It is safe, it is solid, and it is beautiful. If I put my foot into it, it is faster than my Viper. If i dont, it gets the same mileage as my Lexus. If you can afford it, this car is the true pinnacle of design and performance.

  SL600 - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Bernie Doran - November 17 - 12:46 pm

  This is a great car and my second SL, the other is an 1994 SL500 and it is also a great car. the difference in eleven years is astounding. the 05 has every available option except heated steering wheel, it was a CA car. amazed at the MPG on freeway, went to Cleveland a week ago, about 100 mi with 90 on I71, the goofy thing indicated 24.6 MPG!! used the distronic, I thought that would be joke, nope, it is great touched the brake/throttle once in 90 freeway miles. speed was set at 70(this is Ohio)we have a unique way of collecting road tax here. The push in the seat is addictive, another 100 hp would not make much difference, would be interesting to see another 400 hp.

  BUY IT! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By ROBNIC - August 9 - 10:00 am

  BEST CAR YOU WILL EVER OWN. I OWNED CORVETTES IN THE PAST UP UNTIL 2004 WHEN I BOUGHT MY SL500. I KNOW ITS TWICE THE PRICE BUT ITS THREE TIMES THE QUALITY. BASE ENGINE IS QUICK BUT IF YOU WANT ALL OUT PERFORMANCE BUY THE SL600.

  Truly fabulous automobile. With the top down it is awesome! There is no other convertible that I would consider in this price range.

  500SL Review - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Thomas Fillingim - April 11 - 12:50 pm

  After owning 2 other 500SLs, I can say that Mercedes finally got it right. The balance between luxury and sport is magnificent. I do not feel like Im riding on a truck chassis in the 2005 model. In the previous SLs I did. This car is luxury. Comfortable, yet very tight in terms of handling. It truly hugs the road while giving the feeling of being in a luxury automobile. The interior and exterior lines of the vehicle are very well thought out. It is a very classy automobile.

  love my car - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By kay1985 - March 28 - 10:00 am

  I was given my car as a HS grad gift. I am going to college now and it just so happens that I got a great garage park so I do not have to worry about my "baby"! Always cranks on 1st try , even if Ive been cramming for exams and have not driven it for a day or two. I dont mind the looks either!

  SL55 - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Don Sowers - November 18 - 1:53 pm

  Great car. Navigation should be DVD not CD based. Performance is exceptional for a luxury car. Would definitely recommend this car. Tire monitor warning system saved me twice before tire went completely flat. Important since no spare tire was supplied.Hard top convertible great improvement over my SL600 removable hard top. Keyless entry and start another of this cars great options. This car will not go at all in ice or snow. Cant wait to try the new SL65 or SLR.

  This is great - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Benzo - April 28 - 12:23 pm

  My fourth Benz. No problems, just plain fun. Looks good, unbelievable power. Surprising amount of room with the top up. First thing I did was take a two week road trip from Minneapolis to Denver to South Padre, Texas and back. Plenty of room for golf clubs and all our gear. Was a short 5000 miles as fast as this car moves and I was ready to go again right after we got back. Once a day (sometimes more) I get complimented "great car". Might be the last passenger car Ill ever buy.
