Is Mercedes SLK a reliable car?
The Mercedes SLK is a very reliable car. The number of defects found for the Mercedes SLK at the annual roadworthiness tests was lower than for 90 percent of other cars of a similar age tested.
Based on annual roadworthiness tests results, the Mercedes SLK generation produced from 2004 to 2008 received the highest reliability ratings, but the lowest reliability had models from model year 2000 to 2004 (which were in any case better than the average reliability for cars of this age).
Most Mercedes SLK engines use a chain rather than a belt to drive the camshaft, which is generally seen as a more reliable option.
Mercedes SLK reviews
Pros: For Latvian climate the best convertible - automatic hard roof.
Not complicated, as far as I understand it all technical side is a class C
OK is also above 130km / h, good feelings also on rural roads normal service conditions without a roof luggage rack is as spacious as any small sedan
Cons: Nothing's perfect
Almost 20 years it is not a new car.
Bit hard for Latvian roads
For such a small car could be lighter
