I will be picking one up very soon, 19" wheels and the standard silver paint. There has been a recall concerning the fuse panel and MB won't release a car to the customer until a recall is sorted. I've driven it twice and agree with your assessment. Just wondered if you noticed the engine shaking the car a bit when stopped at red light? One reviewer said he finally found a car he was glad to use the start/stop function. I noticed it a bit but if it was a long light, I shifted it into neutral. It was a 2023 and 30K under sticker price, which I thought was a great deal. Cheers .
Thanks, I do know you can override the automatic stopping of the engine at a light and only shut off when you get to your destination. ( I have been fortunate to have had many MB cars over the years and always use it so the engine doesn't have to restart after every stop). I was trying to explain that the reviewer I referenced, as most enthusiasts, also always turns off the start/stop feature in any car he's driving but in the case of the SL 43, he was happy to leave it on so the engine would stop at a light and the car wouldn't vibrate. I thought that was pretty interesting.
Yea I'm thinking 4cylinder is better for this car with white matte paint white interior grey soft top. Just so romantic feel good summer car for europe. V8 sounds too loud and aggressive for romantic car.
Why are so many people obsessed with having more cylinders. It’s about performance and looks and the SL43 delivers it. I had one for four days and it’s a very quick car. I have one in order and I can’t justify an extra £62,000 for the SL 63 just so I have a few more cylinders

Start/stop can be turned off on MB cars which will stop the shaking and wear on the engine.

That's a lot of money for a 4 cylinder. Missing 2 more
