It's certainly wide! I've been threading it very gingerly through country lanes, giving way to oncoming traffic in situation where I'd normally just motor on through. <Cliché alert> The sound of the engine/exhaust note is quite intoxicating<>, and something I could easily get used to. Acceleration isn't as mind-blowing as I thought it would be but it obviously has a lot of pulling power, and other cars do tend to clear a path when they see it in their rear-view mirror (which is nice). On a more mundane note, the interior rattles like a very rattly thing indeed.

Does it belong to the Youth Centre
Nope, but that's about as urban as it gets in CSG.
love the wheels

I think not.
SLK: 421bhp, 0-60 in 4.6 secs, vMax: 155mph (limited)
SLS: 563bhp, 0-60 in 3.8 secs, vMax: 211mph
Game set and match to the SLS. On the plus side, the SLK is far better suited to London's streets, and the country lanes beyond.

Did you like driving the SLS, did it have enough room?

Certainly enjoyed driving it, although I wasn't hooning and didn't even take the traction control off. (The £5,000 insurance excess was a sobering consideration.)
As mentioned, the car is quite wide (almost 2m), but due to the width of the centre console it feels quite snug for the occupants. No problem accommodating taller drivers, though - a 6'3" friend of mine drove it last night, although he did manage to hit his head on the header rail a few times (probably because he couldn't be bothered to lower the seating position).

Out of interest... Do the doors open like a Lamborghini or are they just the normal type?

Just the normal type on the convertible version.
