The
2005 SLK350 is totally cool. We mean this car rocks.
It is the perfect machine to fall in love with, and
it’s perfect for transporting your love around
town. First of all, it’s way cute and has a great
compact figure. Keep the hard top on, for a few seconds
later your roadster is ready to roar and there is plenty
of roaring to come from its powerplant.
Shaquille
O’Neals and Peyton Mannings need not apply, as
the interior is quite confined. But once you settle
into the cockpit, get ready for some fun and serious
driving. With a good power-to-weight ratio, this baby
is ready to fly—and that could be a challenge
with regards to road policing authorities. But in the
city, and for general driving, the roadster is quite
easy to maneuver. A trip to the gym, the grocery store
and a commute to the office all become fun. And yes,
it is the perfect ride to impress a date.
This
automobile comes with all sorts of comfort items, such
as dual-zone climate control (even for such a small
car), but we can’t rave enough about the quasi-instant
climate controlled seats… a crucial feature in
an open-top automobile. Trunk space is adequate, and
the mechanical system for the retractable hard top has
been minimized to take up as little room as possible.
Our
test model came with a bunch of options, ballooning
the base price of $45,500 by almost $10,000. It included
a 7-speed automatic transmission, which would be hard
to turn down, albeit the manual transmission is pleasant
and precise.
The
overall package in this roadster is sensational, and
the V6 engine quite remarkable. Visit your Mercedes-Benz
dealer for a demo ride: www.MBUSA.com.
Careful, it could be love at first sight.
