What owners say
"Overall, owners are very fond of the 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK, frequently praising its performance, handling, and luxurious feel. Many drivers enjoy the impressive speed and responsiveness of the brakes, as well as the stylish design and comfortable interior. However, some mentioned a desire for more power and noted limited trunk space when the top is down. The hardtop feature is well-liked, especially in sunny conditions."
When I drive my car I feel like that I control the road and take on what is ahead. I feel safe because I know that my car will react and protect me. Weither its the multi air bags or just the way it handles the road with its quick stoping power and its handling. SLK is a class of Luxury and well known among MB owners. Enjoying the ride instead of just riding is a plus. I am sure when you purchase a MB you will be pleased.
December 22, 2011I first saw this car and the first thing that came to my head was Batmobile. That's what it looks like to me in my opinion. I can go on and on and on about how awesome the brakes on this car are and how much fun it is to drive. It saddens me that Mercedes Benz replaced the 4 cylinder supercharged engine with a V6 now.

January 6, 2008A friend's mother owns this car and on multiple occasions I drove the car to get it washed, vac'd out and gassed up. Sometimes My friend's father would tell me to "push it a bit" and I did just that. They owned the 04 SLK 230 Kompressor so it had that power you could feel surge through your foot. The twin piston brakes worked great to stop the car at high way speeds. I've only driven the automatic so I can't rate the manual version of the car buit from my experiance, the manual mode on the 5speed auto works pretty well and if timed right you could pull off a decent 0-60 time. The ride is very comfortable thanks to the leather bucket style seats and there's more head room than it looks when the top up. If you want to go on a road trip its better if you do it alone because space is limited to one bag of clothes in the trunk and less if you want the top down. Over all, it's a fun little car to buy the wife for a weekend car.
December 30, 2011This car is a dream. Very fast and luxurios for a joung men.It is fantastic in the summer tho rolling with opening the Hardtop. My dream is reallity and the next car is the Cabrio. It is very fun to drive.
July 8, 2009Bought the best colour for resale - Silver; has a great set of Pirellis; could do with more grunt of course. Brakes ok, starting to pull a bit but needs it's service - and rego this week. Happy for the time being, until an SL 55 AMG comes along....(sorry baby- you didn't hear that). Great black leather interior. Don't drive it much now due to employment changes - take ferry instead; but is fair on fuel. Hard top over soft top anyday - especially with harsh sunlight. Handles well, I should know, after driving home 7 hours through central nsw! Great through Victoria Pass in Blue Mtns - just watch out for boys in blue waiting at Blackheath. Overall, still running like a demon and many clicks to go...
July 29, 2008A fully capable car that has plenty of speed, handling, and fuel efficiency. It is sleek and gorgeous.
March 19, 2008I had one 15 years ago and still regret selling it. Awesome little cars, sneaky fast , surprised a lot of street squirrels. Looking for another.
August 17, 2022This car is great for the city it has an awesome prestigious look that is sporty as well the interior in black is very aggressive and masculine the gas mileage is great, I save some money in gas compared to my other vehicle. I love to taking the top down and the hard top is so convenient this car is the one I use the most when I am all dress.
