WHAT’S NEW?

A 10Best Cars winner in 2005, the SLK350 roadster gets a 32-hp boost for ’09.

A higher compression ratio, a new intake manifold, and a modified valvetrain enhance the more powerful 3.5-liter V-6 and raise its redline by 1000 rpm. Unfortunately, the new engine won’t be hooked up to a manual transmission; Mercedes’ excellent seven-speed automatic with manual controls is standard. A new variable-ratio steering rack, dubbed “direct-steer,” quickens the steering the farther the wheel is turned off-center. Other changes include revised bumpers and a slightly retouched interior.

This car is so noisy,and it drives like a brick,most people trade them in a year later.They get tired of the lack of refinement and comfort.

IMHO, it's a chick car unless you go AMG, although that much power in such a small car concerns me.
