  Makes a GREAT PLANTER - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By lemonade - June 7 - 10:00 am

  The concept was fabulous.The exterior fabulous.The fun driving fabulous. However it looses its appeal after the 9th time it is in for repairs within a few months. It really lost its appeal when the Designo edition $103,000 began to smell. A pungent cat urine (as described by dealer- I dont have a cat) odor so foul it burned your eyes & throat. Six months more of repairs and interior replacements...it still stinks. Numerous calls to the manufacturer (because the dealer CANNOT? do anything except let me BUY my way out of the car) still no response!

  Outstanding ! - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Zipcode - January 11 - 10:00 am

  This is an outstanding vehicle to drive. The security of a coupe with the ability to become a convertable at the push of a button. I have the Sport package, which in my opion, makes for an incredibly attractive looking car. On a 1400 mile trip I averaged 24 mpg, with a speed average of 70 mph. This included all stops. I think that is very good fuel ecomony.

  Style and performance - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Michael altman - August 31 - 3:50 am

  If you have the 18 sport wheels with performance tires they will only last about 10,000 miles in the tears. Every where I go with this car its still a head turner for a 2003 with a style that will always look new. Update 70,000 miles abs light came on and checked fluid it was low, added fluid OEM and all is good, thought I might need pump but I believe due to heat evaporation there was some loss. Added jdm front tower strut bar for less flex, k&n air filters with improved power and saved gas by 4 mpg. Lowering links dropped car 2 1/2 inches. Now will be installing new exhaust! Truly a great driving machine and a head turner!

  Perfect Fun - 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By coltrain - April 1 - 10:00 am

  This is raw power, neatly packaged in a fun, classy vehicle. The silver and ash combination creates a bright, classic look great for the summer heat. But under this attractive skin is pure power. I dont believe Ive come close to unleashing the complete power of the vehicle. Acceleration, handling passing, etc. are as good as it gets.
