What Car? says
For A sleek coupe and a sexy roadster - all in one car
Against Not as nimble as some rivals
Verdict
One of the most desirable cars now at reasonable prices
Go for… SL55 AMG
Avoid… SL350
- 1. When looking at an SL, check out your local Mercedes dealer to make sure their customer service matches your expectations
- 2. Check the folding roof works smoothly and quickly, as the electric motors can seize
- 3. The alloys on AMG models are prone to kerb damage, and very expensive to repair or replace
- 4. Every engine is great, but the powerful SL55 AMG is the greatest
- 5. The cabin is a great place to be, whether you've got the roof up or down
