2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200K review from UK and Ireland
"A real Beauty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
It's an absolutely beautiful car a delight to drive and a real stunner to look at.
I read some of the reviews on this web site before I purchased (new) and nearly changed my mind! Some of the reviewers must have been driving a different model. I know the car is still nearly new, so I can't comment on reliability, but the only problem I've had that was mentioned in other reviews is a (slightly) stiff boot release.
Of course other faults mentioned may have been sorted out by the time mine was manufactured (January 1994)
I'm particularly impressed with the economy-37 mpg if I'm fairly light footed!
The only snag is it takes me 5 minutes longer to get to work in the morning as I enjoy driving it so much I go very SLOWLY to make the trip last!
