Mercedes SLK World Forum - View Single Post - Greetings! And a mini-poll: R170 vs R171

VitaminT · 09-07-2007

I voted for both. I really wanted to buy a R170 a few years ago from a lady at work. She had a 99 I think it was, dark red (may even be the same color I have now), had the AMG pak, and of course the top was way cool but man I could not stand the 240 kompressor coupled with the auto trans. I mean like repulsed by it. So in the end I didn't get it. I will say I don't like the R170 as much as I like the 171 as te interior is kindof cheesy.

I would not own either without the AMG pack or it being an AMG as to me both the 170 and 171 look sissy or not sporty enough.
