Overall rating 4/5If you’re after open-top motoring in a car that’s easy to live with, the SLK stands out – bringing a bite of Mercedes luxury to your daily drives. Launched in 1996 and running through three generations before evolving into the SLC in 2016, it was designed to combine sporty looks with everyday comfort and usability rather than chasing the sharpest handling. Successive generations improved refinement, added more technology, and expanded the engine range – including a diesel in the final SLK line-up. Against rivals like the BMW Z4, Audi TT and Porsche Boxster, the SLK stands out for its luxury touches and everyday convenience while still offering wind-in-your-hair fun. Equipment levels are generous, with thoughtful touches like the Airscarf neck-level heater and a decent boot for a roadster. Practicality and running costs have improved through each generation, appealing to drivers keen on top-down thrills without sacrificing comfort or reliability.
