Mine arrived 2 weeks ago and after nearly 1500kms I can say that this is awesome and in my opinion the best in its class.... I have had over 20 years race experience in Europe and now have the only one in the northeast of Brazil.....yu could say that I am well pleased...Well done Mercedes.... I can't wait for the new AMG C-Class Coupe to arrive which I also have on order...
@LlamaTheory if u kno anything about the s2k ..u wud kno they were purposely designed that way..and most s2k repeat buyers and enthusiasts like the snug cockpit feel...its a track car...also designed to drive like a civic...but very capable pushed at limits..wen it first came out...0-60 in 5.4 sec...porsche had to step up...thats hardly underpowered...specially for a 4 cyl...u just dont kno how 2 use a track car..they are tough 2 drive
@rsxzx6r They aren't tough to drive, they are actually great driver's cars. But again, they have no torque, and your quoted 5.4 seconds 0-60 is a bit... optimistic. S2000s are just rather shitty at being roadsters, and that's why I completely agree with the video review. If Honda had made the S2000 a coupe, and given it an engine with real power, and marketed it as a track car... then it would probably still be in production.
@edge160 Agreed, the 3 that I've seen were driven by ladies in suit. Regardless, it's still gorgeous as hell. If I had the mula, that's the only Merc I want.
@LlamaTheory even the pros say its harder to drive than most...because of the low torque..altho very capable its not forgiving below vtec in the corners..u have to heel toe more...aka kno wut ur doing...and "being a shitty roadster"?...it has won car of the year consecutivly by pro reviewers and won survey reviews on top gear by consumers..and it was in production for nearly a decade almost unchanged..built as anniversary car from ground up
Typical american review. Don't upset the people who let you drive there cars. The engine is wheezey and lacks punch. It's forever changing gear. 7 is too many. Try the kick-down 6-5-4-3- jerk , whiplash ! How much does it cost ! Phone up a dealer and say you've got one to sell . One day old and 10 miles on the clock. Yeh ! Tell it like it is and people will love you . See Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear UK

I love the thought you put into the review w/ background info and comparisons for the buyers group in mind.
yup im getting mine in two weeks i order it custom made cant wait
I'm definitely going to buy this car. Look how sexy the indicators are themselves!! Wow. What a beauty.
@rdgflex precisely its a boulevard cruiser not really a roadster sportscar
@Tarikace15 the european version does 46.3 mpg!
@skbuoy
s2000 looks bland in pics, but in person, it has an understated "sexiness" to it. It'd fit me perfectly.
@Tomek016PL cause suropean gallon is a lot bigger than US version
I have a 2005 SLK 350 which looks better than this. What have they done to the cars front?

The face looks stunning, but the roof shape and bonnet looks like the older model.

Oh and don't listen to all that sales pitch crap that BMW's z4 or the Boxster are faster. Trust me they are not
0 - 60 is fuck all, gives you a slight idea. you really have to drive a car to know how fast it is!
i like its shape it looks aggressive

Yea i liked this review a lot. Provides pretty good enough and analogies. :P Haha. Nice!
@tanxu My experience driving S2000's is that they are good in the corners but are horrendously underpowered. Oh, and the interior is tiny and awful.

hahah 0:02 Ron Roron wants to suck muffler tips.
is there a reason theres porno music in the background.
damn for 60k, I better be caring about acceleration and handling
is this an advertorial? Surely looks like a (bad) one.
ONLY 55K.............
Boot...not bonnet.
I'm a dude ,for chicks or not I don't care I like it and I can afford it. ha ha ha
My bog standard 530d SE does 0-60 in 6.7 s, 154 mph,
just sayin' lol
That A-Pillar is as big as your gorilla leg. (to your upright-walker insult to people who disagree with you)
It's still a girl's car. It needs to be longer and lower with a manual.
previous version far better looking
rscosworthfan lmao u have no taste
i argue that mercedes is definitely NOT the king of roadsters
Quhhohffadhkpplmmmmnnbvcfgyhghhhhhbbbbvv
for chicks? simple minded if you think: men vs women..
Stupid review.
Still looks like a ladies' car.
