 WOW!! I have looked and driven many different cars, but this tops the charts.  It's styling, performance, and the hard top says it all.  I had several cars that I was comparing for this purchase, but the SLK350 had everything.  Spend the little extra to get the heated seat package, well spent money when top is down in the cool weather.  Very quite with top on, but unbelieveably quite when top is off.  Seats I was worried from past reviewers would not be comfortable, but have to say they are built the way they should be and with the heat on I feel pampered, even having back troubles.  I say go for it, you won't be disappointed; and if anything you'll find excuses for going out for a drive.
