Driving character: fast, refined autobahn grand tourer

Mercedes-Benz SL (R230) · driving

Owners consistently describe the R230 as a quick, comfortable, remarkably composed high-speed cruiser that hides its roughly 4,000-lb weight and feels far faster than expected. It is characterized as an S-Class-grade convertible and a genuine autobahn car, with the roof-up hardtop giving near-coupe refinement.
