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:
  • Heavy for a "sports car," limited cargo capacity, nav system is old-tech CD-ROM format.

  • Perfection in 2 doors - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    This is it as far as high performance convertibles go. I visited the AMG factory in September, 2001, when they were first testing these cars. After I heard it drive past me, I knew I wanted one. The sounds is amazing. I love the look on peoples faces when I drive down the street and floor the car. Call me juvenile? Sure but I have a really big smile on my face everytime. On top of all this, it is gorgeous, comfortable, luxurious, exclusive and did I mention fast?

    The nicest sportscar ive owned. The ride is unbeliveable, the reserved power is just centimeters away, and its built by what i call oneof the best car makers in the world.

    This car car has it all!!! Great looks, comfort, performance, safety and quality. I compared the SL500 to the Lexus SC430, Porsche Carrera 4 and the Jaguar XKR. This beats them all. It looks sporty, classy, sexy and tough. It fits any mood the driver has.

  • Mercedes Baby ! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    I have moved up over the years fron a C Class to an E Class and now the real deal. Every purchase has been great but I have finally met my baby. Every other car in this class is just a copy. (especially the Lexus, which is the biggest knock-off ever)

  • Wickedly powerful - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    This car replaced my already superb clk 55 and it shares the garage space with my Boxster S. It is unbelievebly fast and handles even better than the incredible Boxster. There are no words to describe this car it has to be driven. My car is black with red interior and AMG multi-spoke (turbine wheels). It has all the options and it is really a dream car!

  • Wow, but it stinks - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    This is the latest in my car habit. Before this I had an 02 Carrerra, an 02 M3 convertible, an 01 Vette Coupe, a 99 430E, and a 97 540i. This is by far the best car that I have owned. The interior is great, and the command system is quite useful. The exterior is simply marvelous. I have the smell problem as mentioned in other reviews. MB of Annapolis sold it to me knowing it, then promised to fix it (had the car three weeks after I only had it a week), and it needs to go back in. They refused to give me my money back. MB of Annapolis has seen its last dollar from me, and I would recommend anybody else staying away from them too.
