What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK

2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2005	2dr Hardtop conv.	Ample leg room and headroom - up to about 6ft 5 is fine I'm 6ft3 and with the roof off I don't get too ruffled unless I go over about 85 mph Lots of other things to like (and the running costs arent too horrendous) but I'm limiting myself to my top three see full Mercedes-Benz SLK review
