SLK350
Amazed at handling in wet
I've had my car for a few weeks now and it has been nothing but rainy....of course
But I have to say I am very pleasantly surprised by the handling. I was driving today in very heavy rain on the highway and I could feel the car hitting puddles but it was slicing right through them. I am very impressed! Awesome car.

On the day that I attended the Love Mercedes event in a Chicago suburb, it was raining. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the SLK 350 handled on the wet track. Acceleration, cornering and braking were vastly better than any car I had previously driven. Mercedes sure has gotten the traction thing worked out well.
