Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (2008-) Review

Category: Convertibles 4 out of 5

Summary of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (2008-)

Price Range: £59,975 to £153,050

Assets

Effortless cruiser, new direct-steer system, superb info-tainment system.

Drawbacks

Not sufficiently sporty, poor braking, expensive.

Verdict

The SL is in a class of its own as a cruising roadster, but go elsewhere for a sporting experience.

Mercedes SL-Class Review

Used Value3 out of 5

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.
