Pros
  • Superb V12 engine and the last chance to get SL55 AMG
  • Beautiful hardtop convertible
  • Good 0.28 drag coefficient
  • Last chance to get the M113-powered SLK 55 AMG
  • Updated electronics
  • Perhaps improved engine reliability
  • Last opportunity to get naturally-aspirated V8 from Mercedes (M152)
  • SLK 350 got ride of the engine defect of its predecessor
  • Multi-link suspensions all around
Cons
  • Less reliable V6 and V8 engines compared to the M112/M113 found in pre-facelift
  • 7G-Tronic is a downgrade
  • Stuck with MacPherson struts in the front
  • Low cargo capacity
  • Generic styling
