Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Dave I have been enjoying all of your videos so far. Great job! Have you had the chance to try SL with ABC suspensions? Do you have any thoughts on it?

I own a SL550, wow, what a car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have a beautiful car and you live in a beautiful place - nice one!! If Portofino can manage a hard top why can't SL? Losing it is a mistake

I drive a 2014 sl 63 Performance package and it is a great car.

I have the 2015 400SL black with the same red interior and I love it. The only thing you didn't mention that I think is a tremendous bonus is the unbelievably great gas mileage. I'm getting 24MPG putting around the Hamptons and the few times I've taken it to NYC I got over 31MPG. That's twice the range of a 550SL with very little difference in power.

Dave great video.... the car looks amazing - are you sure you wanna give it up in dec?? I have an sl55 which is dramatically different to my GTC but its a style unto itself.... rethink buying out your lease.... you'll kick yourself later - she's gorgeous..

I know, I know….it’s just one car too many if there’s such a thing!

doesnt sound like it has performance exhaust does it?

And if I remember correctly, the 450SL has regular coil-over springs instead of the problematic ABC suspension system of the 550SL

the area that you are driving Houses looks very nice what part of America is this,By The way i have one of these cars and i think it is the most under rated car out there, The power is more then enough for me,Power when i need it comfort, hard top, power consumption,Beutifull and comfortable, etc etc ticks a lot of boxes i dont like ipads in the car its a Classic should stick to Classic which i can drive for the next 10 years and will still look good i dont think it has a flaw with the Engine for me its the opposite i Think Engine for this car is perfect Combination to sum this car with one word " Lovely "

I own the 2019 SL 450 and agree with most of this review, with a couple notable exceptions. For me, the infotainment system is worse than described. The screen is very small using the little wheel on console is a real nuisance compare to a touch screen. As to performance, I left a Corvette C7 Z51 to get this Benz. The Corvette is explosive in it's acceleration compared to the Benz hitting 60 in about 3.7 seconds compared to the Benz being a second slower. Having said that, both cars provide more acceleration than I can use in 99% of my driving situations. The Corvette is a true sports car at 3300 pounds, the Benz is a GT car at 3800 pounds. Would the Benz with the same drive train but 500 pounds lower in weight be a sports car? I know it would. Even at 3800 pounds the car rotates very well as the wheel base is short enough. Not short like a Miata, but short like a Nissan Z or an M3 or a Supra or an F Type Jag. But if you lose the 500 pounds you lose a lot of what makes this car a super comfortable tourer and around town errand runner. If you gotten too old for the F Type or the Corvette because of the seating or problems getting in and out, the SL450 gives you 90% of what you buy a sports car for and enough additional comfort to let you drive all day and not get feel beaten up as you get out. And as mentioned, that hard top/convertible feature is really the best of both worlds.

The world's worst infotainment system. We have a 2019 SL and I will tell you that the infotainment in our 2018 VW Tiguan is light years ahead of the SL.
