Slk32 Amg

Has anyone here driven one of these?

I notice most of the journalists (EVO etc) don't seem to rate them that highly, is that justified?

I really fancy the power and am not too bothered about driving it sideways!

drive one and see how you find it.

I have and it's rather skittish around its rear end!!! A lot of power going through those rear wheels/tyres!!! Personally I find the 320 is ideal - lots of power but not too much!!

I bought mine in January when I "down sized" (in terms of monthly leasing payment to no payment) from a new shape SLK200. For me this car is the "real deal", delivering Super Car performance at a bargain price both in terms of purchase costs and comparative servicing costs. The 0-60 accelleration is impressive but even more impressive if you let the V6 supercharged engine take you to 100 effortlessly. I'm sure will be the usual subjective moans about a Lotus being a more thrilling ride or getting a used Maserati for the same money etc but this car delivers on so many different levels for me. I can confidently throw it into a corner and come out the other side (will never risk taking traction control off ). It's also a rare car, only around 250 imported to the UK and those cars will diminish in time. Happy to answer any specific questions if you PM me. The reviews I found on the net when researching were all complimentary, one said it was a "lairy" sports car for Mercedes! MB Enthusiast also rated it better than the SLK55 AMG. Anyway, enough blurb, let he car do the talking....

(Sorry Mrs Dowtherz made her way into the pic somehow)

I had a go in one and loved it.

The seats have an integral headrest though, and I think my muscular frame (read "fat") had difficulties fitting comfortably.

Journalists seem to favour razor sharp handling these days, and that's not what AMGs have traditionally been about - although very recently they seem to be trying to change things.

The SLK32 is a hot rod cruiser, drive it with that expectation and you'll love it.

Have a go. It will be fun.

Just a thought. The Autocar review is a good read - you'll probably be able to pick one up on ebay.

Thanks for the replies, looks stunning in Obsidian.

Was thinking of trading my clk against this one:

although i'm not too hot on silver on these.

That car has been there for a while so may get a decent deal on it. There is also a black one on ebay that has been on since I was looking for mine in Jan.

Thanks how long do you think the silver one has been for sale for? i'm sure it was originally 18995.
