Mercedes SLK 2011-2015 | THE BEST REVIEW ... EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW...

[@kierandoherty8815]

I have the R172 CDI version, with all the mod cons, love the car, very torquey, plenty of poke and cheap to run. 60 miles or gallon.

[@mickyday2008]

I had a 2012 AMG 55. Stunning performance with brakes better than my mates Aston Martin DB9. It was meant to be my forever car but unfortunately I bought a red one. The paint started falling off (Google it). Mercedes wouldn’t fix it as it had already been fixed under warranty. Unbelievable. I didn’t want to spend thousands on a respray so sold it on before it got too bad. On the look out for another one, but not a red one. It was my third SLK, having had a first generation 230 and a second generation 350 but the latest 55 is definitely the one to go for. Cheap to tax too.

I really wanna have a second gen SLK 350 Anything of note about it?

[@mickyday2008]

@@seasuper3402 Loved my 350. Lookout for rust under the lip of the wheel arches. I’d still go all out for the 55 though if you can.

[@seasuper3402]

@@mickyday2008 I definitely want to but I'm not sure due to insurance and maintenance costs

The same with you, my third is AMG SLC43

Got this dream car at 28 Years Old as my daily... Most elders buy this for the weekend but I thought I get in early. Good Bye JDM Cars..

[@r.2696]

Bought it at 19, love it 😅

[@kartikyadav7421]

Planning to buy it at 28. Any suggestion ? 😅

[@CrazyJohnLe]

@@kartikyadav7421 Just make sure the Timing Belt Chain/Tension has been service because that will be costly, it's bound to happen, otherwise the engine runs like a dream

[@theequaliser8026]

Going to see one tomorrow looks like you’ve sold me it came here first. always great reviews

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@paulgreen758]

ive got the previous version, the 171, I love it, drives like a beast and with winter tyres its ok in light snow, with summer tyres it really comes into its own on tight roads, which I mainly drive in the highlands, everything works and still around 38mpg SLK200, is a decent car if you know how to drive and get the best out of it

[@Petertrottierrealtor]

Absolutely love my 350. A blast to drive a feels surprisingly quick in the twisty’s. The exhaust note is quite pleasing as well. 😀

I have a 2012 55AMG with a lot of kit incl. Magic Sky roof. Great car I hope to keep for a long time.

SLK stands for Sport Leicht Kurz… 😌 L for llight, K for Kurz : short 😉

[@HaggardPillockHD]

Thought it was k for compact (hence newer models are designated 'SLC')?

[@teleris6971]

🐧 MB SLK 350 R172 AMG-Line... The best car of its kind ever made in the entire world! I never ever would give mine away; even not for twice the current price. I mean this dead seriously. A car like this will never be built again.

[@hongkongphooey-kw4nd]

Im thinking about getting the 2014 250 2.1diesel 201bhp,31,000miles and full service history,are they any good????

[@brushhead]

I'd love an SLK350 but there's a major issue with these engines in that the timing chain sprockets can wear and that becomes a very expensive job to sort out. It's a well documented issue. Issue was sorted in later cars of the R171 3.5L range but be very careful!

[@pearsy85]

I know the m272 engine in the R171 had balance shaft issues, in which the sprockets wear, but the V6 in the R172 is a 60° V6, so it doesn't require balance shaft, so it's not an issue, the m276 appears to be far more reliable than it's predecessor.

[@trojenell]

Just dropped over 7k on my E350 still need cam and more. Timing is not right. Im done. My CLK320 transmission. I can't win.

[@blountman747]

So which slk to buy ?​@@pearsy85

Its worth the money the 3.5 is a rocket

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@chrisrowe8746]

I’ve had 6 now, SLK230 320 then 200 then 280 then 250 and now 350, I like the 55 I’m trying the range . I love them all, although didn’t rate the 200/250 as sports cars, issue either diesel is the sound goes. They perform greatly and are reliable but sound is importantly or can become dull. Most fun for my money was an immaculate 280 for £3500, 30k miles all options, loved that car untill some tit in a VW killed him.

[@bunchhenglov3913]

I love my 2016 AMG 55. I hope it could last for a longtime.

[@blountman747]

Thank you so much for this video I'm at the point where I'm trying to figure out what to buy. A used SLK or a used slc. If anybody can provide me a comment back on what they suggest I should go for please let me know. Because I don't want to buy one if it's not worth it due to it's going to cost you much and repairing down the long run for out of warranty issues. But if the SLK has a better motor long-term over the SLC please let me know I'd love to hear cuz I don't know much about this
