2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Love this car! by gluxuryhomes

Buying an AMG anything makes no logical sense. But if you want standard models pushed to their extremes this is what Mercedes does. Think Porsche Turbo,BMW M5, the Audi RS's. They don't make everyday sense, but they don't make too many and they sell out. There are just enough of us out there!
Powertrain performance
Power is the best reason to buy any AMG. In this small car it is thrilling!
Exterior styling
New styling is big improvement. Lots of SLS and a smaller, maybe nicer looking SL.
Materials & workmanship
World class!
Feature availability
Plenty of gee whiz options to spend your money on.
Brand reputation & image
It's an AMG!
Price or payments
Like every Mercedes,expensive. You really have to appreciate AMG and the excusivity.
Handling
It has plenty of computer safe guards but using the torque is an adventure.
Warranty, maintenance cost
Maintenance, like all German brands is ridiculous. But to make the best use of the warranty, better safe than in litigation.
If this car is in the budget, try it before you buy a Boxter S or an Audi TTS. They are all great but really different.
