2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 review from Australia and New Zealand
"Fantastic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warning light faulty - fixed by dealer.
General comments?
Absolutely superb. Unlike sports cars I've driven in the past, the ride is very smooth, but it still corners like it's on rails. It incites every young blood to drag at the lights, but it's a bit low on power for that. Everything about it is very well designed... and I'd never go back to rag tops!
The only negative is uncomfortable seating - no lumbar support and excessive rear dip on the seat base.
