This was the first car I purchased when I got a new job (lightly used of course), and wow, was it fun. This two-seat sports car is pretty much perfect if you are looking for a two-seat sports car. The real joy of this ride is the push-button hard top convertible. Literally, at the push of a button, the hard top will fold up on itself and slide into the trunk. It takes about a minute, so it can be done on the side of the highway when rain is coming in. I have never seen anything like it. By far, the best feature of this car!
Story
Driving this thing to Ocean City, Maryland is a great fun time. Top down, flying down some back roads on the way to the beach, can't beat that.
Pros
The car has an excellent automatic transmission which can be sport shifted by tipping the gear shift handle back and forth. It works quite well. By far, the best part of this car is the push-button hard top. I have never seen one anywhere else, and it is truly amazing. After pushing a button, the hard top slides into the trunk with absolutely no interaction from you at all -- it's flawless and amazing.
Cons
Its tiny. But if you are buying this car, you already know that. It's a two-seat sports car, so there is very little storage. On top of that, if you have the top down, there is almost no storage in the trunk at all.

2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK - Love it!!

What can I say, I love my slk230!! I absolutely love the styling of my car, it has nice sleek lines that give it a classy yet sporty look. I am single so the 2 seater works great for me. It is very comfortable on the inside with plenty of headroom. The car lacks in storage, but I don't use it for long trips, just short trips to the grocery store. There is plenty of room in the trunk for daily errands. When I bought the car it only had 10000 miles on it, 6 years later it has close to 40000 miles. I have only had to perform basic maintenance on the car such as oil changes, and brakes. It has been very dependable and fortunately it has never broken down on me or left me stranded. Insurance is a tad on the high side, but that was expected due to it being a sports car. This car does terr... (more)
