  Better than a Porsche C4 S - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Charles Day - November 3 - 10:00 am

  After owning and driving C4 Porsches, this SL55 AMG is the best. It has the torque of the Porsche Turbo and the fun of a convertible without the inconveniences of removing the hard top. While the Porsche intimidated my wife, the SL 55 AMG is wife friendly. The stability management system was comparable to the Porsche. The parking assist, navigation system, and high performance sound system was superior.

  Best Car I Have Ever Owned - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By azmike - November 3 - 10:00 am

  Without reservation this is the best car I have owned. The styling is fantastic and everything feels classy. Looked at Jag, Lexus SC and magazie previews of new cadillac--no comparision in my judgment.

  Beautiful but unreliable - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By CPRCPR - October 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought my SL500 in Jul-03. But ownership is blighted by consistent unreliability and visits to Mercedes service. SL parts are often not available, so your car sits, un- drivable, in the repair shop waiting for parts. In 10 mths I spent a month in loan cars, whilst waiting for parts & repairs. Mercedes paid for everything, but that does not take away the irritation. This week’s fault is the seat-belt (unsafe to drive, 10 day for parts); previous failures were hydraulics (undrivable), exhaust (illegal to drive) and electric seat adjustment stuck in fully forward (couldn’t enter seat). So buy an SL500 as a third car, but not if you want something reliable.

  After owning 9 new Mercedes, in 18 years, I finally bought my first SL. Sell you rfirst born male child if you have to, because driving doesnt get any better than this.

  Know Lemon. Every One of Them. Stay Far Away! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Scott Espenshade - August 3 - 6:41 pm

  Mercedes is well aware of all the ABC failures on their SL500s & SL550s, but are still allowed to sell them in the United States. There is a VERY dangerous problem if you are driving at the time of the failure. Imagine a shock suddenly coming off a vehicle at 65 MPH?!? Not imagine that EACH AND EVERYONE of the vehicle sold that year fail. 100% FAIL. Sound like a class action lawsuit? You would think so, but some how Mercedes Benz is able to still push lemons out the door. This is not just plain greed, it is a complete lack of value for human life! I have completely lost all respect for Mercedes Benz.
