Mercedes-Benz SLK 280 Open Car

There's more to the SLK than its clever roof - it's fast, well designed and is a relaxed cruiser. However, it doesn't relish hard driving.

On the road price: £32,290
For: Stunning folding metal roof, sprightly engines, Airscarf option, supple ride
Against: High prices, poor finish inside, not that enjoyable to drive fast

KEY:
