New to the forum. Have some questions.

Hi All

I have been looking for a nice car for my wife and she is crazy about the SLK AMG. We have driven one and it is a sweet fast car. Seems to be a good value.

Anyway, I have been doing some research and have some questions for some real owners. I have seen that some owners have complained about brake squeeking. Is this a problem? Are there any transmission issues? Any other chronic problems? We will use the car for semi-short trips to the beach or mountains. How is it for 3-4 hour trips? We have an NSX that I can drive 12 hours straight in complete comfort. What are the absolute necessary options? I don't think I want to spend for the performance package, but anything else is ok. I know color is subjective, but she wants the Mars Red. We haven't seen one in person and the pictures of this color are rare. Is Mars Red popular here?

Any information to help in our decision is greatly appreciated. BTW, we will be selling our PERFECT '05 S2000. If you know anyone interested, let me know. Here is a link to it: My NSX. The S2000 is near the bottom.

Thanks for your help.
