1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 review from North America
"Depends"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The door panels have come loose in the car. But, were later easily fixed.
The radio speakers were weak, can be replaced (it was a used car).
Nothing else wrong.
General comments?
It's a generally good car.
A hard-top convertible is what everyone should have.
This car's top speed is very high, but is not a quick car compared to others at the same price.
It's a car for teenagers.
