Effortless cruiser, new direct-steer system, superb info-tainment system.
Not sufficiently sporty, poor braking, expensive.
The SL is in a class of its own as a cruising roadster, but go elsewhere for a sporting experience.




The SL is not the car to buy as an investment. The previous iteration lost almost a quarter of its value in a year and 42% of its value over three years, so cruising around looking cool is an expensive business. This is unlikely to change with the new version.
