  • Road Test: 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 350
  • Every car should be this fun to drive. And easy.
  • ing a manumatic (no clutch), the third-generation SLK was easy on my left knee. And with 302 horsepower available from the 3.5-litre V6, my right foot did not need to floor it to reach hair-whipping speeds. The SLK goes from zero to 100 kilometres an hour in a mere 5.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 210 km

  • Inside the roadster, the opulent leather seats are fit for a queen. The adjustable driver's seat provided a soft and comfortable but snug perch behind the adjustable steering wheel. Snug in a good way - the seats envelop you until they feel like part of your body. No matter how fast I drove or how curvy the road was, neither I nor the car experienced the slightest hint of body roll, thanks in large part to the standard Dynamic Handling Package.
