 Just bought my SLK320.  I've owned 5 
SLs before this car, most recently a 
1998 SL500.  The SLK320 is much more 
fun to drive than any previous SL!  It 
feels just as powerful as the SL500, 
but its handling is MUCH more 
responsive, nimble, sporty, and quick. 
Front suspension is perfect; feels more 
like a Porsche or BMW.  Rear suspension 
is a little stiff & bumpy, but 
tolerable.  Audio system could be 
better.  Crossover frequency between 
sub-woofer and door speakers is wrong.  
Mid-bass is missing, making some CDs 
sound harsh and "thin".  Other than 
that...the SLK320 is a blast!  
Automatic transmission is very 
intuitive.  I was skepitcal about 
the "touch shift"....but it works very 
well.
