Watched this before buying my 55 two months ago. What a car, looks, performance, and the noise! Yeah, the gearbox is a bit slow to change, but as a small GT it is an incredible all rounder. I'm 60 and the auto suits my style of driving, lazy but with the oomph when you need it. It's a keeper!
I have owned 3 slk’s in the past everytime I sold them I regretted it! I am in the process of buying one more, it’s a 2005 slk 55 amg and it is white like the one here!! It is also a one owner low mileage vehicle. I have thought long and hard and decided to go for it and this time i will never sell it.
Just bought a lovely silver 2006 SLK55 too. Wonderful car. 1/3 of them are of the road in the winter now, which makes sense, but I look forward to the spring!
I just scored one of these 55 amg’s so happy the vents in the head rests are nuts its honestly the best car i ever owned & fastest i came from driving a Long Travel tacoma on 37’s
Great car, sounds awesome, I also have a BMW Z4M and a Alfa Mito QV, they really feel so different, yet so similar, they can all put a smile on your face. All I can suggest is to pick the moment and enjoy the drive. Thanks for the review.
For These smaller lichter models the are perfect but for the bigger coupe's SL cl And s class i prefer the kompressor or turbo models there you Just need more torque to keep it fun to drive i think
I had a difficult time finishing this video after reading the description. First, what year is this car? Second, the two primary numbers are off. I own the 2006 SLK55 AMG. My 355 hp stock accelerated me in 4.3. That number changes depending on which mode you drive - comfort, sport, or manual.
not sure about the year but it is a r171 slk55 i did the acceleration S mode if i remember correct. but what do you mean by "difficult finishing the video after reading the description" ?
My information is correct according what Mercedes is telling the car is doing from factory. If there are numbers that are different in your opinion like acceleration time . I can not help You with that
Then it sounds great but for me it is also a bit quote with the roof open but that is a simpel mod to change buy for long distance a quiet cabin is very Nice i think. Car is is very Nice condition the have at the moment 3 slk55 AMG for sale a low mileage have look on passioncar.de And don't forget to subscribe
Sl55 is a kompressor engine SLK is only delivered with the NA V8 CLK 55 became 63 AMG. The kompressor engine where only for E klasse And up . The smaller Cars luk c Klasse And down where delivered with the NA V8 . But he CLK had a very special edition the CLK DTM it had the engine with over 500 hp it was like in between the sl55 AMG And SLR engine. It is really a brutal machine
I personally would go for white . On a Black car your will see the smallest scratch And a red color is not good for the value of the car. A white car is looking very good on a SLK And a 350 is still 272 hp so still good for good drive ability
yeah ive had a black e class before was forever washing it lol cant get white although it deffo looks the best the muck on our roads it wouldnt stay white for more than 2 minutes either lol...im currently wizzing around in my mothers cls350 petrol model feels very quick, i am drawn to red cos ill be keeping the car a long time so depreciation is not really a problem and we dont get enough sun round here for the paint to fade hehehe
These cars also need to be in manual mode for the best launch. Notice how the RPM was pretty slow for the first .5 seconds of acceleration. That's the transmission computer processing that he's doing a launch, which wouldn't have happened with Manual mode. Also you can modulate the throttle more to get better grip. I have a C55 AMG, the transmission takes a while to learn but when you get it you have a lot more control than most 5 speed torque converters.

Nice. Enjoy IT !! 👍
Glad to hear it, how's the car nowadays? Everything ok?
What year is yours? The Speedshift was improved for 2007, I believe.

Purchased a 2005 SLK55 recently. Great fun and extremely rare as far as mass produced vehicles go. Only 800 made in 2005.
Nice

i would love to try these,i think the N/A 55 engines are all you need for most cars

Accurate information holds a buyer's attention. If I'm replacing or purchasing another, and I read incorrect information, I move on.
My information is correct according what Mercedes is telling the car is doing from factory. If there are numbers that are different in your opinion like acceleration time . I can not help You with that
That’s a beautiful and wonderful car, I’ve been looking for one to match my SL500. That really looks good in white, very clean.
Yes for sure. I think this looks better in with then a sl
Stunning little beast
Looks in great condition,but sounds a little quiet inside for an AMG V8,whats it sound like with the roof down over 3k revs?

Thanks man you just sed everything i needed to kniw
Test drove one of these yesterday. I think I'm trading in my C55 for this car tomorrow.
If You don't need the room of a.sedan a slk is a very good car
I have just brought the SLK 350, these are great cars.
@@colingroves335 How's it treating you so far man?
@@jhnwik469 treating me fine, plenty of power, sounds and looks great, a shame we are in isolation at the moment 😢
How did it compare performance wise to the c55? Does the 7 speed trans make that much of a difference?
Man, I would love to find one with that 2 tone red and black interior. Super rare
And very good looking
Just find one and go to proper interior shop lol? Most important when buying is all mechanically and a clean non rusted ramp
Besides this a lovely car and best thing most Mercedes lovers have no idea theres a Slk with a 55 engine, a pure sleeper!
I have that exact color combo, what are those buttons below the seat heaters? I have a screen there with 2 buttons
Nice choice. Thanks
Dat is awesome car !
😎👍
Wonder why the 55 CLK is only about 350 HP whereas the 55 SL is near 500 HP. Smaller SC or lower boost or they decided different engines???
Sl55 is a kompressor engine SLK is only delivered with the NA V8 CLK 55 became 63 AMG. The kompressor engine where only for E klasse And up . The smaller Cars luk c Klasse And down where delivered with the NA V8 . But he CLK had a very special edition the CLK DTM it had the engine with over 500 hp it was like in between the sl55 AMG And SLR engine. It is really a brutal machine
im getting one unfortunately cant afford the amg version so im getting the 350 which is still brisk enough cant decide between red black or white
I personally would go for white . On a Black car your will see the smallest scratch And a red color is not good for the value of the car. A white car is looking very good on a SLK And a 350 is still 272 hp so still good for good drive ability

Then go for it 👍
Is it very tight on the inside ??
Depends i think IT is not to small My lenght is 185cm
How’s the sound speaker quality?
I think it is pretty good
My grandpa has one, it is pretty darn good for the size. It can easily light up the cabin with lots of sound, good quality too
Nice 👌
Is the car rear wheel drive or all wheel drive ?
It is rear wheel drive . Thanks
Thanks for replying so fast
No problem 👍 if you like the channel don't forget to subscribe
I did already last night 👌
Great car but the ESP ruins most of the experience in my eyes as you cannot turn it off completely...
この車は素晴らしい
故障が多いですがとても気に入ってます。
?
the reason "black edition" exist is this model
Background music sucks sooo bad that I almost had to thumb down this in the first 60 seconds.
Looks like 7 seconds to me!
Loose grip.
These cars also need to be in manual mode for the best launch. Notice how the RPM was pretty slow for the first .5 seconds of acceleration.

That is the ugliest car I have ever seen
edit 2 years later: it’s actually good why did I post this
Your opinion. I think it is very good.
stay off the booze it looks great
Thanks !
Stick to Roblox kid
Speak for yourself. I don't care much for white but in black it's beautiful. I just bought the SLK 350 has the same body the 171 chassis,,
