Roadster from Mercedes-Benz is hardly the best way of self-affirmation of an egoist. However, it is necessary to follow the figure to fit in the cockpit. . .
Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 (from 1,990,000 roubles) The third generation of SLK is new. And that means that his master is a successful man, if he can afford a new toy. In particular, the prices for this kind will start almost 2 million rubles. Well, if you put it back to Full Option, even in our case, with the weakest 184-strong engine and the 7G-Tronic machine, it's going to scale in three. What do we get for this money? Of course, the doorway exterior in modern Mercedes style with new grill, bumper, headlights, and fast profile. Under the hood of the SLK 200-"total" 184 "horses" and the ecological requirements that have been invented. It is possible to start with a spectacular scuffle of the leading wheels only with a certain skill and a disconnected ESP. Really, he's fraught with skid. On the other hand, after the acceleration of the dispersal dynamics the class is adequate, and the stabilization system is no longer inhibitive, the previous generation was not deprived of the sports charm, but it did look like a few "overflare". The two-coking cockpit is sporadically tight, but is very expensive with the main "spurs"-buttons of switching off the ESP and enabling the sportive mode of the suspension-are located in the whole row with heated seats and emergency signaling, already in the base of the Skipper Skipper for managing the roof-next to the roof of which is a USB connector-the roof is completely new, but the main "phenes" are still in place: the single master switch on the left, "uhsik" is the cruise control, buttons for adjustments of seat adjustments on the doors and beautiful finishing materials. Salon, as before, except you can't call a cockpit. If the growth is above the average and the beer abdomen has, it will be uncomfortable. The central tunnel is high and wide, the armchair is not too voluminous and installed low, and the longitudinal adjustment is low. The chairs and sports are amazing. They are designed to ride in cool weather with open top.................... there is an additional deflection unit in the head restraint of the seats traditionally for Mercedes-Benz at the door, but the main thing is that in a car such as it is going. There's a lot of nuance here. The gas pedal is tugage and at the start does not give a instantaneous response: it seems that the engine is "sleeping" until it falls into the couple of thousand rpm. And then, a sharp rise in the acceleration and a pleasant sap from under the hood. Let' s go! And the minor road flaws don't bother you much. It's in civilian mode. Translate the suspension and "machine" into Sport mode. A retinal plank becomes a large washing board, an additional reactive force appears on the steering wheel, and gear shifting takes place for 3000 rpm. In general, it's quite sporting. It is true that the helm is more comfortable than the sharp one, and the SLK 200 is touched even here in some way. The reason is the technology of the BlueEacency, which is the norm of Euro 5, and the complex system of stabilization. And if you disconnect the ESP, this hospital stops being "plush" and lungs in management. With careless use of gas, it can easily be stored on a dry asphalt and requires a truly good driving skill. Otherwise, it's not far. The hoarder for its class is more than 335 L (with a raised roof) It is not enough for a complete spare part-the Mercedes-Benz SLK (1996-2004) Model SLK (it is the model of the Mercedes-Benz SLK). Sport-Leicht-Kurz-Sports-Light-Short) was created as a Lite version of SL. The main feature of the SLK first-born is a rigid, collapsing roof, which was cleaned only by 25 s. Up to 2004, engines 2.0 and 2.3 l (136 and 163 l. respectively) and 5-st. CP ("fitter" or "machine"). The 2,000-year-old restalingle did not change the appearance of appearance (except for the front and other details), but a rich choice of powertrains-2.0 (163 l. ), 2.3 (197 l. ), 3.2 litres (218 l. ) and the MCP have become 6-step. Since 2001, the AMG version (354 l. ). Mercedes-Benz SLK (2004-2011) In the development of the second generation, designers went further and styled SLK under a real McLaren SLR sports car-and again updated the line of engines-1.8 (163 l. ), 3.0 (231 l.) and 3.5 l (272 l. ). Then there was a 7-diapason "automatic" on the SLK. The most powerful version was AMG-5.4 l (360 l. ). After the 2008 retestyling, the front bumper was noticeably changed, while the 3.5 litre version had already 305 liters. The result-In Russia, SLK has an image of crew for greasing girls and glamorous boys. In part, this is justified: SLK is an expensive hassoar accessory. But to enjoy full power over him, it is not enough to buy such a "toy" and rights. It is also necessary to ride on a short, powerful rear axle, with an underloaded rear axle. Without this, the driver, with his empty ambition behind the wheel of even 184 strong SLK, risks becoming a monkey with a grenade. Andrei Kochetov, Editor
