  Nice Try Cadillac - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Taklberry - November 22 - 2:00 am

  Cadillacs XLR has a lot of improving to do before it ever meets the safety, handling and performance of the Mercedes-Benz SL500. Cadillac can put all the horse power they want into the XLR, but it will never be the car the SL500 is. I applaud Cadillac for challenging the niche market the SL500 dominates.

  Wonderful car to drive - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Belius - November 16 - 2:00 am

  I traded my 2003 SL500 for a 2004. Both handled as well as anyone could want but the 2004 with the seven speed automatic is even more fun to drive. It is like getting 50 extra horsepower haveing the extra gears. Everything works perfectly and neither car has been in the shop for any repairs.

  The best of the best - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Dr Rick - November 11 - 10:00 am

  Every red blooded American male dreams about owning a car like this. It is sexy, stylish and extremely powerful. I have the limited edition Designo sports model. It turns heads and stops traffic where ever I go. It doesnt get any better than this.

  Flawless - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By RJP - November 11 - 10:00 am

  Flawless performance. Beautiful styling in and out. It looks exactly the way it performs. Responds instantly to accelerator. Can easily get ahead of other vehicles and into clear road ahead. Handling is superb. Does not lean or sway. Beautifully takes curves with ease. Quintessential sports car. Wish it had more cabin storage, and that it had a better gas mileage.

  LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIP - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By llenroc74 - November 11 - 10:00 am

  I LOVE THIS CAR. I HATE THIS CAR. EVERYTHING IS GREAT EXCEPT BUILD QUALITY AND RELIABILITY. DEALER REPLACED TRANSMISSION AT 1,300 MILES. BRAKES (Sensotronic) STILL DONT WORK CORRECTLY. DEALER SERVICE IS APPALING. M/B CUSTOMER SERVICE (Montvale, NJ) IS RUDE AND UNHELPFUL. TRYING TO INVOKE MY RIGHTS UNDER NYS LEMON LAW SEEMS FUTILE. MY 4th M/B SL AND MY LAST.

  The Best Ever - 2004 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class
  By Buchiepuma - October 10 - 2:00 am

  This is my 11th SL and my 4 V12, This one is by far the best ever. What a great car. It feels and hold the road great. I cant believe that they can top this one. The interior trim is so sophisticated and feels good to. I got the new color mars red with the standard wheels, it hot. I cant ask for more , very happy.
