Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster (2004 - 2011) 280 (2008) 2d Tip Auto Owner Review

Positives - this car still puts a smile on my face. I’ve had it over 10 years and can’t let it go. Fuel economy is surprisingly good for a 2.8l engine (I get 35 mpg on a long run). Solidly built, still no rattles. Good boot space for a little roadster (I can get a set of golf clubs in) Negatives - very reliable apart from a steering pump failure and later a sensor failure, dealer servicing eye wateringly expensive (fortunately I have an excellent indie merc specialist)
