However, some owners have mentioned frustrations with interior quality and comfort, specifically regarding the seats and some electrical issues that arise."
Love the Slk 320. I love my slk 320 more because it's a 6speed manual even more fun to drive. They have a very smooth ride and comfortable
March 23, 2025It is not traditionally sport car fast but it is quick and responsive. The hardtop is really easy to use and is very quiet for a convertible. The ride is surprisingly quiet and smooth. Just an overall fun, pleasurable car.
February 19, 2014The Benz that goes topless. All the niceties of a high end coupe like perforated leather seats, heated seats, dual climate control, power everything with the bonus of being a top down summer roadster that turns into a beautiful hard top coupe in 20 seconds. Still looks brand new after 10 years and drives like it left the show room.

October 24, 2011This car is amazing...class, performance, economy, safety, personal, all in ONE neat inexpensive little package...go figure! The best feature besides the above is ONE Button to push to lower or raise the convertible hardtop...how easy could it be....my TAN is so much better this year as I can easily work on 'it' almost every day here in the Houston area....!!
July 17, 2013I took a 3 week trip and covered 5000 miles this summer. The mileage best was 29.95 mpg. When I returned home I needed brakes but 110,000 is pretty good for the original brakes and it was only the front brakes.
November 16, 2011Elegant beautiful car, 2001 SLK 320 with a V6 engine is an instant collectible classic!

August 30, 2008Seats suck, leather is junk and wears quickly. Handles like crap. Paint was of poor quality. Wind screen was of poor design. Interior wasn't quality. Fit and finish not up to par for a german car. I expected far more than I got.
October 2, 2013Looks great, goes great, love the hard top convertible but no room for a snowboard, unless you put it in the passenger seat and then you cant take a passenger! Still it is fantastic car and I loved her very much!
