 Practicality 3.5/5
Mercedes SLK
Mercedes SLK
The SLK is an expensive car to buy and run. Add on the Performance Pack, high insurance rates, fuel expenses, and high repair costs and it is easy to exactly how expensive this purchase will be.

The Mercedes SLK is not the most spacious car on the market. It provides adequate passenger space but that’s about it. The boot is oddly shaped but practical, and various storage compartments are available in the cabin.

There are several controls arranged on the fascia. The controls are well laid out and functional. The car’s basic functions are duplicated on the steering wheel.

The Mercedes SLK provides a high level of comfort. The seats are supportive yet comfortable, and Noise levels are good and the car is fun with the roof down. The car’s optional Airscarf system also blows warm air around the neck, keeping the passengers warm and toasty with the roof down.

Access to the SLK’s cabin is good. The doors open wide and with the top down access is even easier. When the top is down, access to the boot is significantly hindered.

Parking is easy with the roof down, but with the top up the car can be tricky to park. Vision is limited and the large alloy wheels can be difficult to judge.
 
 
 Life Style 4/5
Mercedes SLK
Mercedes SLK
The Mercedes SLK small size and folding roof are very appealing. Add in the powerful 5.5-litre AMG V8 engine, and the car scores major points. The car’s revised suspension provides excellent control and grip, and the car’s brakes have been enhanced for optimum results.

This is not a family car. The car’s two seats are not adequate for even a small family. It might make an interesting second car for a family, but could not function as a family’s primary vehicle.

This is an unlikely first car. It’s expensive pourchase price, insurance rates, and running costs probably rule it out for most novice drivers. Not to mention the fact that the car provides too much power for most newly licensed drivers.

The little SLK sports car boasts very high quality materials with an exceptional feel. The car can easily stand on its own merit, however; the Mercedes badge certainly won’t hurt anything.
