Hello everybody, I'm just taking a survey here of which SL looks and performance are better for every individual users and also commentators.

Sorry about the fonts everybody, I did the bigger fonts to help the mobile and PDA users to see easily. I represent AUTOBILD from Indonesia. Personal comments from the MB enthusiast is what we need rather than we did a random survey from an unknown source. I will be posting pictures and links to the magazine when the article is posted. Again thank you for your participation MBWorld Members.

I like the new but drive the old and I'm freaking happy!!! The old car has lower compression so that evil scream isn't there like the new car which i like most, and that new tranny is the sh*t.

Owning the old SL might make me biased toward it, but I think it is timeless and a classic beauty. You gotta love the 55 kompressor even with all it's issues like weak IC pump and chirpy SC clutch. Keep in mind, I have not driven the 63.
