What Owners are Saying About the 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren
"Ridiculous Car"
"This car is the sports car lover's dream. It's power is unmatched by any other sports car on the road (I've driven them all), and it has lines and looks that could kill someone. Aside from the price being enormous, the cockpit being really small (not good for those with claustrophobia), and its driving restrictions (can't be driven in less than 52 degree weather, and doesn't handle well on wet roads), this is a dream car. If you can afford one, I highly recommend buying one. Also, the pictures they have on the website are of an SLK and not an SLR, so dont be fooled. The doors of an SLR go up, not out."
