sl350

She's nearly 11 years old now and the handling doesn't feel especially sharp - I appreciate these aren't race cars but it feels a bit tired on the road and almost disconnected, more so at the rear end. The kind of feeling that can only be described as the wheels shiftying around under the body...

Been out in my recently acquired SL today... Having owned various segments of cars over the years, this is my first larger GT type, and my first impressions are good. She's a smooth cruiser that IMO looks timeless, not fast or nimble but still rewarding and punchy. Looking forward to racking...

I have just bought a 2006 SL350 and the sat nav is not very good - e.g it will not accept complete UK postcodes. Official update CDs are very expensive but there seem to be others around at about £30+. Also, there are Mercedes Coman ones and Tom Tom ones. Can anybody recommend best options and...

Hi All Sorry my first post is a cry for help! I have owned now for a couple of months a 1979 SL350, she has only done 62000 miles. In the last 20 years she has done about 120 miles a year mainly being mot'd. It came with a slight misfire that has steadily got worse. So far I have replaced...

Thanks to MB Bishop’s Stortford, I had this for 24 hours over the weekend. It impressed me much more than I expected it to. Engine: The 3.5 liter V6 is smooth, almost turbine like, and quite quick (this is relative!) once it gets going. However, it is too quiet, and what...

I have had my 2003 CLK320 for just short of 3 years now and have been coveting the SL's [R230] for a while. This yearning was compounded when a colleague bought a 2004 SL500 and on discovering my admiration for the marque, insisted on parking next to me whenever he could. So my resistance has...
