SLK230 vs. SLK320

2001-04 SLK230 vs. 2002-04 SLK320
There are obvious differences between the two models, the 320 having the 3.2L V6 and the 230 having the 2.3L S/C I4. Is it really worth paying extra for the V6 when it only gets 18 more HP? People say it sounds better and that alone is a reason to pay extra for it but I love the
way my SLK230 sounds, its not loud by any means but the supercharger sounds amazing and when you climb up the rev range past 4000RPM you hear the mix of throaty I4 and the whine of the supercharger which sounds good by any standards.

Stick with the 230 S/C with light mods it could be alot more fun to drive!

If you're really considering the V6 and want to keep the mix of "throaty" and "whine", I'd be looking at the "32"...aye Tslick? Can I get a witness?
