Reviews of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350's seven-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth shifts and helps it get decent fuel economy. Air Scarf makes driving with the top down reasonable in colder weather. An optional hard drive-based navigation system with traffic information and Bluetooth is standard.
The Bad: The list of compatible phones for the standard Bluetooth system is limited. We weren't impressed with the standard audio system, and iPod integration suffers from the need to drill down through levels of menus.
The Bottom Line: As a toy for the wealthy, the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350 scores, offering a well-balanced, fun drive, but you will have to ship luggage separately for road trips. Good cabin tech is available, but it adds up to a costly bundle.
