Thinking of buying one sometime in the future but would like any advice from people who own one, or have owned one or generally from anyone who thinks they are good or bad?
Thank you.
I quite like them myself, in fact I think they look fab, esp in met red or blue as it really shows the shape off and exaggerates the size of the wheels.Thank you.
I also know a few who have had them and they seemed rather taken with them.
And as a rule they also garnered positive reviews. Try YouTube for the original Tiff/Fifth Gear review. He seemed to like it. And from what I can tell it generally received better reviews than the Merc SLK it shares its platform with.
All this said though, I think you need to buy one for the right reasons. It's more a 2 seat GT car than a sports car. It's not quite sharp enough or sporty enough to compete with the likes of more feisty alternatives. And less practical than most coupes or junior GT's. That said, being a 2 seater does mean it's more compact and easy to park/place than something like an XK8.
If you want more pace keep an eye out for the SRT-6 variant, there are some in the UK. These are the 320hp supercharged version.
Personally I'd have one just for the looks and while I don't really care what others think, it sort of irks me that there are so many sheep that have to follow and repeat what JC said, just to make themselves look clever.

Which is such a useful and helpful point to make.... oh actually, no it's a stupid and pointless point to make. My bad.Looks like a dog having a s
t...Alright then, more relevant; it's not American, it's built in Germany and based on a Mercedes, sharing 80% of it's components. Is that stupid and pointless?

Very sorry; just offering an opinion that I happen to agree with.

But surely these facts make it a good car?Alright then, more relevant; it's not American, it's built in Germany and based on a Mercedes, sharing 80% of it's components. Is that stupid and pointless?
