Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class 2015 Review - Motoring
Mercedes-Benz SLK 250. Road Test. Back in 1996 the first-generation SLK two-seat sports car caused something of a stir with its folding hard-top roof. Now we're well into generation three, which launched in 2011, and we're examining how the popular 250 model is holding up to the test of time. Then there's the Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class. If you like being looked at, then roof down on a nice day the SLK is a good-looking winner – as presumably you are basking in reflected glory. But for the rest of the week, much better to take the C-Class, ML-Class – or any other member of Benz's Alphabet Soup of cars – for most motoring chores. Oh and talking about cost, at $96,500 (plus on-road costs) for the 1. 8-litre turbocharged SLK 250 being tested here is not exactly a cheap purchase either. Having made it sound like this is a car only for the shallowest of egocentrics, it's time to mount something of a defence. After all, it's not like the SLK 250 is alone among roadsters in being cramped for space, limited in its use and expensive. Source: www.motoring.com.au
