1998 Mercedes Benz SLK230

The SLK is both a coupe and a convertible. This is good. The hardtop provides a snug, quiet, weather-resistant cabin for two.

It folds away quickly, easily and completely, providing a true roadster experience. No one else has created a hardtop/convertible anywhere near as functional as this one.

It's a marvel of engineering, a ballet of moving parts that open, close and fold away with the touch of a button.  Top down, SLK looks sleek and aggressive.

It is equipped with an automatic transmission. It downshifts electronically for braking and shifting manually.

The styling, by and large, is strongly postmodern, with industrial-type styles and textures throughout the appealing design. But then, the gauges are vintage-looking, with parchment backgrounds and stylized type.

The ride is relatively soft, for a sports car, but good suspension geometry and a well-engineered rear setup make the SLK plenty of fun to throw around curves.

Drivers will appreciate the extra comfort and long-legged touring-car abilities, while still being able to handle crisply with poise and precision. 

Whatever you call it, the SLK is a sharp little automobile.

It's like a wedge-shaped sample of Mercedes' sports-car history, harking back to the 190SL of the 1950s, which was an affordable four-cylinder alternative to the mighty 300SL roadsters and gull-wing coupes.

 Like the 190, the SLK is powered by a four-banger. But this is now, and the SLK engine is a silky-smooth supercharged version with 185 horsepower that makes angry snarls while pulling like a bulldog.

Really nice clean, functional dash.
