Everything. A new SL debuts to replace the previous version, which dated back to 1990.

Pros:
  • Seductive style, retractable hardtop, commendable performance, ride and handling.
Cons:

  • None better! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    Ive owned 4 MBs, a Porsche, and numerous other European vehicles. Ive driven them all for pleasure. None for day to day. Ive never had a MB that dissappointed me..including my SL500. My Porsche 996 was in the shop every other week..literally, for "check engine lights. It never was resolved. Save your money and buy this car. Im over 66", and wide, and am comfortable. Interior design is remarkable. The car is in the shop for scheduled maintenance only. Come to think of it, I dont know that Ive ever had a major problem with any MB. Its fast, sleek, handles on a rail, looks fabulous, runs magnificently. I dont know what else I could ask for. Im just glad that I bought this car.

    The car tracks like it is on rails. The exhaust note is beautiful. I bought a black metallic on graphite interior. Love the car.

    Imagine a car that has everything one could ask for. This car was built for someone who wants a daily driver that is fun as hell and fits like a glove. Driving this car is like eating the perfect meal.

  • Great Update to the classic - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    I never expected to get another convertible - the hardtop won me over. The styling is almost universally praised. The engineering is most impressive - stability control, brakes, feel of the steering. But all in all, it is a beautifully styled and outfitted transport device for the new century. The downside is the overcharge for options - esp. phone. By why question the cost of a piece of art?

  • I Love My SL500! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    Everything a luxury sports car should be. The convertible hardtop is not only convenient, its great fun! I cant leave the car without looking back at it, and I find any excuse to drive it. Its been flawless in performance and reliability. I cant praise it enough.

  • This is a fantastic car! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    I decided to change my old Mercedes 320 CE this year. I was hesitating between Jaguar XJK coupe and Mercedes SL 500 but I have bought the last one finally. Now I am happy to have this car. Its a dream, I have fantastic feelings of pleasure

  • Excellent Car! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    I drove the Lexus convertable and fell in lust. But not until I drove the 2003 MB 500 SL that I fell in love! Great steering radius and serious power and performance. MB is back!

  • Hot stuff - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    i really like this car a lot.It runs very well and it has great features.

  • Nice, but shouldve bought a 911 Turbo - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    The car is great, except that I really wish the car had 6sp manual transmission. The auto tranny doesnt do the engine justice at all. The car runs surprisingly slow compared with all the hype I had read. I guess my expectations were too high.
