2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class News, Reviews and Awards
...the Mercedes-Benz feels locked into the road, as if it has supernatural stability.
The SLK-Class is composed and comfortable-a GT car cleverly cut down to a personal size.
Tires rumble on grainy surfaces, generating uncomfortable cabin drumming with top up.
It may not be the first nameplate mentioned when talk turns to sports cars, but the SLK-Class makes accessible enough everyday performance to hold its own in pretty fast company.
An innovative Airscarf system directs heated air through special vents in the head restraints. The effect is that of an invisible scarf to warm the passenger's neck and shoulders in chilly weather.

The SLK-Class now has the power to go head-to-head with a Porsche Boxster and the handling to keep pace with a BMW Z4, and its revamped interior is arguably better than both.
The car's 3.5 V-6, stout chassis, and well-balanced suspension make the SLK an ideal sports car for mountain road drives.
...the new SLK-Class does come off as less of a chick car than its predecessor.
What's most impressive about the new SLK-Class interior is the giant leap in quality of materials.
Mercedes-Benz engineers estimate the SLK350 is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mile per hour in less than 5.5 seconds, which would put it ahead of the pack.
...storage is almost non-existent but for the glovebox and door pockets.
