Professional Reviews

• “What's most impressive about the new SLK interior is the giant leap in quality of materials.” — New Car Test Drive
• “The car's 3.5 V-6, stout chassis, and well-balanced suspension make the SLK an ideal sports car for mountain road drives.” — Motor Trend
• “An innovative Airscarf system directs heated air through special vents in the head restraints. The effect is that of an invisible scarf to warm the passenger's neck and shoulders in chilly weather.” — Edmunds.com
• “Mercedes engineers estimate the SLK350 is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mile per hour in less than 5.5 seconds, which would put it ahead of the pack.” — New Car Test Drive
• “...storage is almost non-existent but for the glovebox and door pockets.” — New Car Test Drive
• “...big blind spots when top is up.” — Edmunds.com
• “Tires rumble on grainy surfaces, generating uncomfortable cabin drumming with top up.” — Consumer Guide
• “...the new SLK does come off as less of a chick car than its predecessor.” — Motor Trend
• “...the Mercedes-Benz feels locked into the road, as if it has supernatural stability.” — Automobile
• “The SLK now has the power to go head-to-head with a Porsche Boxster and the handling to keep pace with a BMW Z4, and its revamped interior is arguably better than both.” — Edmunds.com

• “The SLK is composed and comfortable-a GT car cleverly cut down to a personal size.” — Automobile
• “It may not be the first nameplate mentioned when talk turns to sports cars, but the SLK makes accessible enough everyday performance to hold its own in pretty fast company.” — Consumer Guide
