My Mercedes Benz SLK280 Sport review

You didn't show us the crew cabin.

What an enjoyable car review. You come across very likeable and very easy to watch. No ego, no showing off. Just a nice plain car review. Excellent!!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Much appreciated!

Love it! Next up Aeroholic! Love the car!

[@andrewphillips6309]

You’re the most likeable and wonderful person!! Quite frankly, I’d watch you review cornflakes!! You’re so thorough and so incredibly knowledgeable!! I think you should arrange a meet and greet because you have fans, you were my best find of 2019, I love you so much!! ❤️

[@RondoGlobal]

Excellent comment is really funny...

[@TheStargoose]

Having recently acquired a 2010 SLK 280, I not only enjoyed your review, but learned a few new things about my car too. Personally, I’m thrilled with mine and the fact that you continue to love yours after long ownership, is inspiring. Great video, thank you.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

It's a genuinely brilliant car and I still miss it! I hope you enjoy yours as much.

[@FraserGartshore]

Wonderful! Great idea combining the two channels! I’m doing the same - organ music for “work” channel and old cars for “hobby” channel. All good fun!

[@crazyjay7676]

The first video in a what looks like a great new channel. I posted the comment on alcoholics about your SLK because I have an SLK 350 myself. My SLK is metallic green 2005 with designer wooden interior. I love my SLK and have no intention to sale.

[@jeppepedersen2363]

Maybe start out with some cinematic footage of the car. Then go over the exterior first and then the interior after. Before you go for a drive, i think you should provide sound from the exhaust from the outside of the car. I love to watch these types of videos that have same "layout". Make sure to name the basic specs like: Size og engine HP/NM 0-60 0-?? Top speed Weight Otherwise great video, love Aquaholic and i hope Motoholic will be just as good!

[@andrewlindsay8557]

Excellent review, maybe you could mention mpg and service or repair costs over the time you have owned the vehicle.

[@apache437]

Great review, Nick. Looking forward to the next video!

[@heatonhaus3073]

Wonderful video as always, friend. Excited to subscribe and await more.

[@nickbrock1940]

You gotta love seeing some one, 8 years later still excited to get in and drive his car. Thinking of getting my own slk 280 here soon

Go for it - great car!

[@slikyiky1340]

not been following you that long but love your contents (boats, yachts, motorhomes, now cars).....helps when you're genuine guy........yay!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

I appreciate that!

[@SFGITA]

Just want we needed love your in-depth tours of boats but now with cars! Can’t wait to see more on here love how you go into every detail my OCD heaven 😂😂 again great work nick!

[@jwebb3337]

I'm thrilled to be here at the beginning of your new channel! I wish you the best of luck with it. When i first started watching you, i knew very little about boats and now i am obsessed. As for cars, when someone asks what kind of car i have, i say a white mercury suv with cute silver patterns on the tail lights. That is literally all i know about it and i have had it for several years. Oh, and the steering wheel is on the left side (i'm in the USA). Can you get me obsessed with cars, too? I doubt it, but i will watch!

[@bradfordbarrettluckotheIrish]

I like that front end a lot and you’ve obviously taken great care of her

[@Ragingrabbit24]

I was sceptical about this new channel but the truth is I’ll watch you review anything Nick and I’ll enjoy every second of it haha!

[@thecellm8tube]

Thank you for the upload Sir! I have an SLK 200 , 2005 , I love it.. Hope you enjoy your rides and stay safe on the road.

You are amazing. I’d watch you review a garbage bag if you did one. Also love your collection of watches. Keep up the good work

[@chriswelch9418]

Love my cars as I run a business supporting audio and security on all cars and boats so my passion is great in business.... This merc is one of the most attractive Theo did and way ahead of its time behind the scenes as in fibre optics and the can system.... great choice of car and not surprised you’ve kept it 👍🏻

[@TheLukanda]

Cool mate. Can't wait to see what you'll bring us next!

[@user-lx6bl2wd8g]

Very good start. You've got me looking at 2nd hand SLKs now.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

They're a great car! :)

[@jackaubert7750]

Wow! how fun to be able to film boats and cars. Would you be able to do some videos of English cars that we do not hear much of such as Lotus , TVR and include some historical manufactures like Triumph. I used to have a 65 spitfire and loved it. Thank you.

[@markramdehal9707]

I’m looking at purchasing a SL350 and found this to be a honest genuine review, well done

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Glad I could help. Hope you enjoy it!

[@pf2264]

Well Nick I for one didn't see this coming, but it's very welcome and a great review of your lovely slk. Being an early subscriber to the wonderful Aquaholic channel I fully intend to follow and support your exciting new venture. What will be next, 'watchaholic' perhaps? Having noticed on many occasion you fine choice of wristwatch, perhaps my No.1 passion, I reckon you could definately turn your hand to a few watch reviews too! All the best, Pete 👍

Hi Nick, love the Aquaholic videos now subscribed to both!! i think we are living the same life, I live in Torquay and own an SLK 280 as well, no boat though so perhaps not. keep up the great work mate!!

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Living the dream! :D There are a few SLKs about, great car for the English Riviera.

[@J0hnnyCamar0]

You could review dishwashers and we'd probably still be interested

[@stevennorth6484]

I bought a SLK 200 Auto on 55 plate 2 yrs ago. Love it! Not as many toys as yours but nice to drive, I'd love to open it up more on the motorway but I like having a clean license.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

My previous (silver) SLK was a 200, it went really well I thought!

[@stevennorth6484]

The 200 certainly not under powered, I dread to think what the 2.5 litre & above are like.

[@jgriff3218]

The similarities to my wife's GLK 350 is amazing. All the extras stuffed into that little car. I can image how that car can scoot along. The same power plant in the 350 wagon and it will get up and go.

[@computerbob06]

Didn't think Nick, you were a fully qualified hairdresser? But a very nice car all the same! Great to see you look over your shoulder before you turned the wheel to the right - sports boat style! Miss the yellow jacket though!

[@dan-n1981]

Hope the channel takes off for you. How about M-heilaholics? (Miele). While idk about appliances from them in US they do have some vacuums. Which I guess are considered appliances.. but really mean the range/oven/cooktops, fridge, dishwasher..

[@stevehughes1834]

Great bit of diversification Nick, now I’m not sure if anyone else spotted it but I definitely caught a glimpse of the old DB rucksack, if I’m honest I was expecting to see it tucked under the back stairs, however it was in the boot! I had an SLK for a very short time when I worked for MB back in about 2012. Subscribed👍

[@CamiloRodriguez-xy8pe]

This is one of the best car reviews I’ve seen! Proper lad

[@MOTAHOLIC]

You're very kind! 🙂

[@thebuonocore9818]

Watched just about every yacht/boat review of yours and I'm sure ill be watching each one of these. The only thing I would like to see is the exhaust note from the rear of the car as well as maybe footage of it accelerating past. Oh and the fuse box gotta love the fuse box.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

I'll certainly bear that in mind! :)

[@Dangermouse27]

Yaaaay boats and motor cars great stuff. Lovely Merc you have there. One of my favourite ever cars is the Mercedes SL55 AMG, I would love to buy one second hand but when something goes wrong it would cost a fortune to repair so unfortunately it's just a dream right up there with Zozo 😃

[@MOTAHOLIC]

It’s a beast!

I jokingly asked for a tour of the Merc on your Princess factory tour video, and you did not disappoint sir. Cheers!

Excellent review of this car, thanks! I can only suggest adding some sort of test (?) of the brakes, which is a pretty important component of any car as well. Looking forward to the next review!

[@Rotorhead6235]

Very enjoyable. And for those of us of a certain age, nice reference to the MG Maestro :-)

[@markperrins9485]

Great car nick. I had an SLK 250 diesel with all the usual refinements, before that it was a used CLC 2.2, very nice car and most recently an ML AMG of course none of which I have any more due to mostly owning a 4 year old Grandezza so car less now. My travels from Kent to Southampton are now done in a Nissan cash of which my wife has 🥺🥺🥺🥺 but heyo. If I go to my boat alone I go in my reasonable vivaro van. Lucky me eh!

[@grizzavision5692]

I have just bought an SLK 200 and I LOVE IT! I have a 91 MX5 and have also owned a Focus CC, the SLK is a fantastic marriage of the other two cars. The Focus was slightly more refined but without any real "grunt", The MX5 is real seat of the pants driving, plenty of grip and a lovely rasp out of the decat SS pipe, but after a long drive you are broken. The SLK covers both bases! Great "Smile per mile" car.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

Couldn't agree more!

[@andrewstones2921]

Yes those red seat belts are identical to a MG Metro, I had a black one of those in the early 90s. Now I drive a 10 year old Mercedes which is not an SLK, but if I did not need rear seats I’d be tempted by one of these. I have a 2 seater car for fun, but that’s a Smart car so different league altogether.

[@oggie1967]

Came across this by accident Nick! Usually more at home watching you on Aquaholic but I’ve been gorging on vids about SLK’s as I’m collecting a 2006,2 owner from new, SLK 350 tomorrow and I can’t wait! Have subscribed as I enjoyed this as much as the watery ones😂 nice one!👍👏👏👏👏

Awesome! I loved my SLK, I kept it longer than any other car I've owned. Enjoy it. 🙂

You are brilliant, agree you could review anything and make it charming and interesting, so refreshingly genteel compared to so many hectic and intense reviewers. I look forward to your videos as an oasis of calm and British charm each day as an expat. You have many cool watches and should do a watchaholic as well, lots of people would love that. I will go an make a marmite and cheese sandwich now and imagine I am on Smugglers blues watches the world drift by and chatting to you.

[@robbert__w]

I absolutely love your boat reviews and think you're one of the best with those. But to be absolutely honest, there already are a lot of car reviewing channels which have been doing that for years. So for now i'd say: stick with the boats. But probably you'll eventually prove me wrong and absolutely own the car reviewing as well.

[@robbert__w]

BUT if you'll be reviewing some lovely (classic) cars which aren't shown on the regular channels, i'd definitly love to watch. And excuse me for my English, it's not my mother tongue.

[@MOTAHOLIC]

That's a good idea

[@somersetjim4766]

MOTAHOLIC Hi Nick, great video and I’m sure you’ll find many interesting cars dotted around Devon. It’s just knowing where to find them! I’m hoping to be the new owner of a Mercedes R129 Sl500 final face lift edition soon. Not many reviewed over here in the UK. If you want to then drop me a message and I’m sure you’d do a stellar video on it. Already have a Porsche 981 Boxster S, BMW 640d GC and a Toyota Land Cruiser if you wanted either of those for a video as well. Feel free to DM me on YBW forum - Somerset Jim. If not we may see you out on the water - our boat is based in Dartmouth and called Sea Esta 🙂
