MR2 is more of drivers machine, light, agile, the Merc is more of a refined cruiser, not as many sporty thrills, very different machine from an MR2, depends what you want to use it for and want you want out of the car. I think LA has an SLK230 Kompressor so you may want to quiz him on the ownership experience.

I had the E300 TD and after a while it just got Sooooo boring to drive, tooo comfortable, what I love about the MR2 is how you feel every lump in the road and its a real point and shoot car, I dont want to get rid of it and regret it by buying a car that has none of the personality of my little roadster!!!

Got a Range Rover 4.6 Vogue SE as the main shopping carrier, but I've always wanted an SLK, and at 193 bhp I should imagine it shifts well, hmmm....power to weight ratio and all that though compared to the roadster....I just dont want to find it a boring ride....
