Areas for improvement: Lacklustre driving experience
Drop-dead gorgeous looks. It makes the pulse race just to walk up to it and click it open. Few cars on the road look this stunning.
The driving experience is a little disappointing - it's not 'man and machine in perfect harmony'. You almost have to keep reminding yourself you are driving a quality car.
The interior is plain with some small and irritating design flaws.
The engine sound is neither smooth and quite nor sporty and throaty - just an unhappy compromise.
The list of optional extras is endless as the prices are on the typically very steep. Definitely consider the lighting package - Press the door button and it lights up like a Christmas tree. There are even lights in the foot wells and under the doors.
The running costs for Mercedes SLK Class 1.8 petrol Automatic are high
