What do you like about 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class?
The SLK 350 offers the high level of performance I look for, coupled with the creature comfort my most frequent passenger, my wife, demands. No longer am I resigned to the numbness of her Lexus when we're out together, as she is willing to take a spin in the SLK 350, something she would pass on with my prior car, a BMW Z4.
How would you improve 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class?
The standard sound system could use a slight upgrade in speaker dynamics.
2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class Review:
Equipped with ample power, especially of the broad torquey sort, coupled to a 7-speed automatic, the SLK 350 surges ahead when pressed, yet can ease back into a smooth, comforting cruise. Grippy handling, but lacking the harshness that plagues 2-seaters in this class, the SLK allows you to arrive feeling fresh even after hours on the road, rather than battered and investigating the cost of a kidney belt. The folding hardtop is definitely cool to watch, but MBZ has come up with a design the saves you a decent amount of trunk space with the top down, and if space is the premium for the weekend, it can be configured to maximize the trunk at the expense of keeping the top up. Handling is imble and reactive, without a sense of living on the edge. Braking is sure and without noticeable fade. Interior controls are at easy reach, intuitive and not overly complex or fussy. The instrumentation is simple, although the lighting level seems low at times. MBZ has mastered the art of eliminating reflective glare, something BMW may want to take a cue from. All in all, this is a driver's car that doesn't require the sacrifice of creature comforts.
