My SL55 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Long Island AMG - September 22 - 10:00 amI have the SL55 AMG and it performs above expectations. Seating is comfortable I just finished a trip from Florida to New York and both my wife & I enjoyed every mile. The highway patrol also enjoyed it I was stopped in almost every state!

Perfect Two-Seater - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By desfourth - August 4 - 10:00 amI ordered this car after 9/11 and waited un til I did not have to pay a premium (actually received the car in 10/02). A squeek took a few visits to fix, but M-B did "everything" to take care of it. It is a dream to drive -- hard to believe it is so firm, even with the top down. Absolutely no cowl shake. A real looker.

Mercedes supercar - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By scarface - June 22 - 10:00 amI just got this car a few months ago, february 2004, and since the first test drive, I loved it. I sold a ferrari 355 to buy this car, and it was worth it. It is just as fast as the ferrari, yet infinitly more civilized, practical, comfortable, luxurius... This is truly the best car in the world, fast, comfortable, rolls royce level of fit and finish.

SL55 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By Bliss - May 16 - 2:00 amThe best all around performance car available. Its a sports car (albeit a heavy one) a convertible (magic) a luxury car and just plain beautiful. The exhaust note is addicting and its in traffic manners are relaxing. Find an open stretch of road and there will be FEW cars that will be able to keep up. I love it!

Seat Belt problem?? - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By sab2k - November 15 - 10:00 amI love this car, but the drivers seatbelt starting acting up. I took it in three times in two weeks with a persistent and recurring problem. Anyone out there had a similar problem? How was it resolved? Anyone out there with similar experiences at Caliber? Could be the dealers service personnel not trained sufficiently to work on thee masterpieces.

2004 Mercedes-Benz SL500 - UNRELIABLE - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By MMATLOCK - November 11 - 10:10 pmWell, here we go. I bought my SL500 in March of 04 and immediately the top failed. It was recalled for brakes in June. Its transmission failed and had to be replaced in October. Rains came in November and the trunk/top leaked. The dealer assured me that this was an "isolated" incident. Unfortunately it happened to me. They had to replace the trunk hinges. I have never owned a car that had trunk hinges fail, have you? Also, its brakes are really wierd, no feel. I thought I was buying Germanys best, but alas I bought a Plymouth with a three pointed star on the hood. What a shame. That star use to mean something.

Fantastic Five - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
By PaulR - October 4 - 10:00 amIt is absolutely the best car I have ever owned and Ive owned almost 60 cars. this is one that I will never get rid of. Its stying, handling and performance leaves all the other cars in the dust.
