Smile I have a 350Z Roadster, Getting a SLK 350....my comparison.....

Hello all, just wanted to say I'm New here.
I currently Drive a Nissan 350Z Roadster (Silver)
and I had the experience to test drive the
New SLK 350.

Just to make things quick and short....

On paper the SLK is suppose to be faster
and its very close to the Z.
The Z had a nicer throatier sound.....

But overall, I would prefer the SLK since
its more comfortable and user friendly.

I really dont care about Racing anymore
just going back and Forth to work in style.....

Just to get the thread going, please feel
free to ask you questions about my
Nissan 350Z Roadster that I'm trading in
for a the SLK 350.

As I have plenty of questions to ask also....

thanks

SLK350
Is the fit and finish of the 350Z fairly poor? I previously owned a 1990 300Z and it was a good car but after going to the SLK350 I see how poor it really was.

Ride and Interior 350Z vs. Slk350

in terms of Ride and Rush factor.....
the 350Z seems a lot more sportier and quicker
maybe b/c the exhaust sounds really
sporty and throaty.....

when i Test drove the SLK350, the ride was
more compliant and quieter.
But this was my first ride in a Mercedes Benz....

As far as interior goes, the SLK350 wins hands down....
but I guess its no contest since its $10K more.....

but the 350Z isn't all that bad inside....
its comfy and quiet when the top is down....
I've had mine for 10 months now and
i drive it everyday to work.....
i bought it for $40K and in the 10months
that i've had it, i put almost 20,000 miles on it....
I drive 20miles to work each way.
sometimes more b/c i love taking the long way to work
with the top down......

I love my 350Z Roadster, but I'm sure i'll be
happier with the SLK350.....

what do you think....

also in terms of comparing the
old Nissan 300Z vs the new 2004 350Z Roadster.....

No comparison, the 2004 350Z Roadster is
years superior technology ahead.....

Well, MB is always more of a cruiser than a sport car
