I went from 00'S2K to C32 AMG and ran back to 07'S2K after three years of Mercedes ownership. Mercedes cars have really poor reliability and they are maintenance hogs (every time it breaks it's another $1000) and they handle like shit even if you put PSS9 coils and high end tires in it. Sure, straight line acceleration is great but it was not worth the headaches.

Oh, I see. I like the Benz SLK, and a manual transmission offered with the SLK350 probably would have made me consider purchasing the vehicle, but . Pretty much every model of Benz sold in the U.S has an automatic transmission, and only the base C300 and SLK300 offer a 6-speed manual.
