MERCEDES-BENZ SLK (2004-08) 350 ROADSTER 3.5 272
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ SLK (2004-08) 350 ROADSTER 3.5 272 is a compact, two-seat premium sports convertible, aimed at drivers wanting open-air fun rather than family practicality. In the UK used-car market, it sits between affordable roadsters and pricier grand tourers, offering Mercedes comfort and badge appeal in a relatively usable package.
Its 3.5-litre petrol V6 delivers brisk, smooth performance, while the folding metal roof gives the SLK a coupe-like feel when closed and open-top enjoyment in warmer weather. It suits couples, weekend drivers and commuters who value style and spirited drives, but limited luggage space and two seats make it a poor fit for families. Against the BMW Z4 and Audi TT Roadster, it is known for a more polished, comfortable character.
