I drove the SLK, S2000, TT Convertible, Z3 & Z4 and several others whilst shopping for a car.

The thing about the SLK for me personally was the seats. They lack support and actually made my back HURT after about 20 minutes behind the wheel. Not good.
I drove the manual tranny and it wasn't bad. Also, I was looking at a very lightly used ones, and I tried 3 different SLK's and every one of them had issues with the roof.

I am happy with my Box. I think it handles better and has a better feel than the SLK. I enjoy the sound of the engine right behind me, too.
