SLC vs SL: longer wheelbase, better ride, real room for tall drivers

Mercedes-Benz SLC (C107) · driving

Long-term owners overwhelmingly prefer the SLC to the SL as a touring car: the longer wheelbase gives a smoother ride and better tracking, the seats move back far enough for very tall drivers, and the huge sunroof approximates the open-air feel of the roadster. Several describe it as a gentleman's coupe that rides better than the SL and tracks like an S-Class down the highway.
