1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK

Pros: Drives well, 185 horsepower, good shifting, four speed automatic, engine-breaks-accelerator, holds up well with time

Cons: Cheap interior, sound system, and thin seats

The Bottom Line: The 1999 Mercedes SLK 230 makes a great used car that holds up over time and delivers quality and an enjoyable driving experience.

Review: About two years ago I bought a pre-owned 1999 Mercedes SLK 230 complete with karman convertible top. Judging from its appearance, low mileage, and mint condition the car had spent most of its forlorn life gathering dust in someone’s garage. I have ...

Pros: smooth, quiet, great brakes, looks good in yellow

Cons: engine is capable of more power than MB enables, no power seats, CD player must be MB

Review: Prior to buying this car, I had a 1991 Miata and enjoyed it quite a bit. It handled great, but was lacking in power and the soft-top was a bit too noisy for me.

I really wanted the SLK, but the 1998 only came in AT, so I was forced to buy an...

Pros: Feel, fit and general manufacture. One nice car!

Cons: So far, none.

The Bottom Line: Buy it, drive it, have a little fun!!!

Review: I took the leap and bought a benz. What a blast to drive! Top down is the best feeling going and this car is soooo nice to drive. May everyone get the chance to drive a convertable and may it be a MB.

Lots of power too. For a small motor this...

Pros: coolest car I've ever owned!

Cons: I could have bought a subaru and paid 4 poor kids college tuition for a year

Review: OK, I bought this car and I love it so I feel I need to pass on my epinion about it! But, I'm not the kind of person who will wax eloquent about road hugging qualities (it has 'em) and rack and pinon steering (don't know what that is). So why did I buy...

Pros: what an attention grabber!; good gas mileage; great pickup

Cons: even smaller inside than it looks

Review: I actually bought this vehicle on the spur of the moment (from Carpoint.com) and, for the most part, have LOVED it! You almost get *too* much attention with this car -- hardly a drive goes by without someone commenting on the car (I also have mine in...

Pros: both conv. and hardtop

Cons: needs a more powerful engine

Review: This little convertible from Mercedes truly defines the virtues of a true convertible as it combines luxury, performance, and value(even if the base MSRP is priced at $41000, it will definitely be worth it!). First, I couldn't decide whether I wanted a...

Pros: Hard top convertible, flashy styling, Mercedes luxury

Cons: Limited trunk space when top is down

Review: The Mercedes SLK 230 is the ultimate year round sports car. From the day I drove it off the lot, I have seen jaws drop when the top folds into the trunk. Countless times people have gone out of their way to make a comment on my car.

The hard...

Pros: styling and steel retractable top

Cons: exhaust note

Review: Living in North Dakota, my cars are subjected to more extreme conditions than most. After driving a Corvette for sometime it was time for a new sports car but one which would better handle the 4 season driving conditions of North Dakota. On my list were...

Pros: Great price

Cons: Not many options

Review: A great investment for me was the SLK230 kompressor. From mercedes for about 42,000 it wasnt a bad deal at all. Its a 2.3 liter two seater roadster with a 4 in-line 16valve engine with a intercooled supercharger and 185 horses.

The top is...

Pros: Quiet, great hardtop conv. roof, comfortable seats.

Cons: None

Review: I drove a BMWZ3 and when the lease ended, I bought my SLK. I could not be happier with the SLK. What a difference there is between these two sport cars. The SLK is better made, quiet and safer. I enjoy the sound system and find the controls very...
