Test Driving SLK200

Got tempted again, to get the SLK200. So i went to test drive a possible buy, but to my disappointment again, it has extremely bad pickup. And when you step the accelerator too far in, the feet can't seem to reach that deep. Also the brakes are spongy, so spongy that feels even worse than my old vios. May need to change to a steel brake hose if anyone gets it.

The second thing about this test drive was a terrible creaking sound when you corner sharply, not too sure if something was just rolling around in the car, but it seems to come from the roof, so i am guessing it is some vario roof mechanism that is loose.

Nice Built, but performance needs more punch

Also it comes in Midnight Blue, not a color i would match with the SLK. It just does not bring out the class of Merc-Benz.

Overall, i will either go for the SLK280, SLK300 or SLK350, which boosts a V6 engine for that extra kick. Or just wait for the 2011/2012 SLK Series to come out and decide again.
