1996 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.3 Kompressor

Summary:

Enjoyable open top cruiser.

Faults:

Minor irritants, especially electrical e.g. brake light works loose, drivers door mirror de-icer does not work (although garage say there is nothing wrong).

General Comments:

Heavy on fuel, servicing expensive (it's a Mercedes, what do you expect?) not really a sports car (cornering poor, auto gearbox - difficult to get into right gear without using gear lever soft ride), more a sporty Gran Turismo.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
