2002 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 review from UK and Ireland
"Excelent car, feel cheated as it required more maintenence than I would have expected"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front tyres needed replacing at 8,000 miles, as they were worn on the outside edge. I was told by the dealership that this a common problem with the vehicle.
Again at the first 10,000 mile service I was advised that the front brake pads needed replaceing.
General comments?
I bought the car as I expected quality with the Mercedes name. I would have expected the tyres and breaks to have lasted a lot longer.
