I am getting mine at the week-end, cant wait.
The SL 400 is a fantastic car. Very fast, luxurious, plenty of room inside, no stupid rear seats that no one can sit in and very good boot space with the roof up. Mine has averaged 31mpg over 18 months and I certainly push it where possible. Certainly a head Turner.
Yes I think you need to own one to realise just what a special car this is. They are understated, not to in your face, but super luxury and excellent performance. Thumbs up from me for sure.
Hi Jack. Would you recommend doing a sl400 2014 review of one or not ?
Purchased an SL400 secondhand in 2018 everyting said on this report is true. never looking to replace this wonderful merc.. Why would you!
Facelift model has 367bhp and largely aluminium construction.
I keep coming back to the SL400 pre/post-facelift. Looks great. Comfortable. Luxurious. Good quality. Sporty. Actually quite a fast accelerating car with good torque. Sounds really awesome, surprisingly so for a twin-turbo. Quite versatile/practical (hard-top convertible). No useless rear seats. And these can be surprisingly economical. Only bad point is limited boot size, but big enough for a long weekend away for two, which I think is adequate for this type of car. When you consider alternatives, you may get more power and more of a driver's car, but you will pay more or it will be a lot older, the economy will be much worse, maintenance costs will almost certainly be higher, and it won't be a hard-top convertible. Overall, these offer a package that's very very hard to better. A car you buy with your heart and also your head.
Many Thanks, brought one today. Will hopefully be delivered next week, Have A Peaceful Christmas. 🙏🙏🙏
Great, glad you found the video useful before your purchase. Its always good to get an honest opinion not just the stats and figures. Spring is round the corner you will really enjoy it then
The automatic wind deflector is an optional upgrade.
Thanks for the review,you convinced me enough to buy one.
I currently have an slk 250d.. my next car will be the SL 400 post 2016. Love these cars
still expansive for korean. . . my dream car . .
Great video, you appreciate the worth of the sl 400 very well!!!!
Yes I really rate the car, it has a lot to offer for the money in my opinion. I’m not a car critic as such I just say what I personally think about the car and this definitely gets a thumbs up from me.
I live in New Jersey. What are the prices
Brilliant review thanks for that buddy 😃
Is that hyacinth red?
I'm about to collect a 2014 Sl500 in that beautiful colour with cream leather. Gorgeous
Would prefer no music in your vid😉
Top Review !
You're a bit off on your MPG's brother. The SL400 is rated at 20 City/27 Hwy 23 MPG Combined. Still very good, but not 37 MPG as you mentioned.
UK mpg versus US...
I bet you he has spent a fortune on the maintenance and upkeep. I will keep my 1983 300 SD turbo diesel instead!
Thanks for Good review...
Glad you enjoyed it
Is this not 362 bhp ?
This age with facelift front will have the increased power 362 0r 367BHP rather than the earlier SL400 with circa 333BHP
Thought they are 360ish horsepower?
I have the same model and year and it’s 367bhp. The pre facelift was 333bhp. Needs to do more homework beforehand. However I agree with most other comments.
@@DM-kf1bt Agreed!
Looking at values today versus your estimate for the car they appear higher now for a 16 facelift car. Is that the case?
למה הלקוחות מחזירים את הרכב לאחר זמן קצר?
What do u think about which is better hard top or soft top?? Ive not had convertable but im looking ffor used SL now.
I personally think the hard top. As you get 2-in-1. A sports coupe and cabriolet, especially with the glass pan roof as an option.
Also, while it may depend where you live, but in the UK, where most people don't garage their cars overnight, even if they have a garage, insurance should be cheaper with a hard-top convertible.
Of course, most SL buyers will have off-street parking, but you may be surprised how many SLs you see parked on the streets of London at night, because the closer you get to the centre, the fewer people have off-street parking. And I think you would pay significantly more for insurance if you have a comparable soft top.
Of course, the biggest market for cars like this is the US, and most Americans have and use garages. But for the UK market, I think it's a shame that the new SL is going to have a soft top.
What a beautiful car , does it have the ABC suspension ??
No, it doesn’t. Otherwise it would have got the „Curve“ Setting in Dynamic Select
@@cschruu That’s good , the ABC keeps giving me trouble on my SL500 r230 otherwise a great car . Thanks
amg 65 is a totally different car not just 1sec
Totally different price also
