  • This is great - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    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.

    Not for very tall or overweight folks

    Awesome power. Fun to drive. navigation system is very cumbersome and difficult to use. There is a lag when you jump on the accelerator.

  • AMG road trip - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    I recently purchased a pre-owned low mileage 2005 SL55 AMG, and to get it home I had to make an 1800 mile run across the country. What a wonderful trip! I found the car quiet and comfortable with exceptional road manners. Never a tired leg or back muscle after a long day on the road. If you like, the 55 is an amazing performance car, or if you want to take it easy and enjoy the luxury features, itll do that too. Both worlds are extreme in this super car, and it never fails to get lots of attention wherever you go. Styling and performance are second to none. Maybe more bells and whistles than I really need, but Im still learning to appreciate them. Easily the greatest car Ive ever driven.

    This thing is a tiger when you want it to be, and it purrs when youre just cruising or on your cell phone.

  • AWSOME - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    If you want a top notch car, with a great look, this is for you. Best car Ive ever driven, including other MBZs and BMW. Definetely better than US made. May not manuver as well as a 911, but more practical and prestigous.

  • Love the BENZ! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

    I was treated with courtesy. No doubt I will return for future purchases. The Benz SL600 is the best!

  • Absoloutely the best car Ive ever had! - 2005 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
    By -

    This car is absolutely the best! I have traded up from an 04 SL500 and I dont regret it one bit. The performance and handling of this car is awesome! The shift by MB to DVD navigation is the right step! If youre looking for a roadster/convertible, this is IT!
