2013 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Review
By Zach VlasukWell-to-do buyers in the market for a world-class retractable hardtop convertible will find a lot to like about the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. Whether your preferences run to high-performance, impeccable
While the SL63 and range-topping SL65 AMG models have enough horsepower to destroy a new tar job, hardcore automotive purists will likely prefer the superior handling characteristics and visceral sens
Although the new electromechanical Direct-Steer system filters out more road feedback than necessary, the 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL still delivers a reasonably engaging driving experience. Grip is tenacious with the available Active Body Control system, which works to virtually eliminate body roll during enthusiastic cornering. Braking power is more than adequate, particularly so when outfitted with the race-inspired carbon ceramic setup (a $12,600 option). The adaptive suspension system provides exceptional traction and bump absorption without com

"This time I compared to a Maserati and Porsche. This is my 6th SL ... I have also had 5 Jag convertibles and a BMW 650. The Porsche had a weak engine sound, had an uncomfortable seat, no room for my golf clubs .... and while new for 2013 ... still looked like the aged porsche. The Masserati was just plain old. Sexy in appearance and sound, but reminded me of the first BMW 645. They discount these cars so the Maserati, Porsche & Mercedes were all within $5k. The Mercedes has a trunk that hold my golf back with the top down ... the distronics really works. The car is a low 4 second car to 60, but in florida, there are no winding mountain roads, so I did not rated any of the cars on cornering. The interior is great and the high tech the most intuitive of the bunch. My car has all the options including the spoiler on the trunk. What a car."

"The SL has always been a Mercedes icon. Owned for 3 1/2 years, European delivery, 100 on autobahn, rock steady, corners absolutely level, room for 2 for three weeks on road, assembly perfect, upholstery and fittings first-rate, fast (0-60 5.4 seconds) and braking top-notch. Quiet with top down, even at highway speed. No shakes, squeaks, rattles after 3 1/2 years. Mechanics and electronics totally reliable. Feels like carved from granite, but agile. Reasonable gas mileage (18 city, 27 highway)"
