  By Aramis - June 7 - 10:00 am

  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
  By Loan Lady - March 4 - 2:43 pm

  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!

  Nice, but shouldve bought a 911 Turbo - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By fievel - December 26 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Mercedes Best Car - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By J. Fitzgerald - October 2 - 10:00 am

  It is not noisey, it drives very smooth with sports override if you want, great brakes and easy to put top down. Mercedes has honored their commitment to send someone out if you have a problem. I had a flat and someone came within 20 minutes. Best car I have ever owned from Mercedes.

  Fast but Unreliable - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Bummed Out - September 16 - 9:40 pm

  Yes, fast, beautiful and fun to drive but thats where it ends. The car has been back to the dealer three times in 7000 miles for mostly electronic related problems, twice on a flat bed. The latest is a bad alternator causing the computer to flash a red stop sign at me with an alarm blaring and a warning that the brakes were about to fail. Have to wait a week for the part because not one is available in the US. The navigation system is useless and the sound system inferior to say that of a Lexus 340SC. Scared to drive this thing any distance now and looking to trade her in sadly.

  Perfection in 2 doors - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By jshoes - May 20 - 10:00 am

  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?
