JINX ,
I had an '07 SLK. It had 2 incurable defects for me YEMV:
1. Seats were excruciatingly uncomfortable after 1 hour.
2.Rear View Mirror is huge and very close to you because of the steeply raked windshield. In Europe where I first drove the SLK,the RV mirror is much smaller. The huge mirror creates a big blind spot at T junctions.
Much depends on your height & build. By contrast, I have no problem with a Boxster,any Miata, Jaguar or my 1993 Dodge diesel truck !
I sold the SLK to a short, fat woman who had no problems with the ergonomics.
