TEST: Mercedes R171 SLK200
Driving this car was like a “no drama at all” feeling.
The roof function is nice especially since rumors among owners and garages is that it is a very reliable function.
Chassis felt very sturdy and stiff but the were some movement when cornering hard.
Engine wise this SLK200 was the economy alternative, in my taste this is a sporty car and should have at least the 350 engine in it, i will try to get to drive a AMG as well so i can tell you if that is good or bad with THAT much power in such a small car.
