- This is a special edition of Mercedes-Benz's beautiful two seater SLK sports car called '2LOOK'. And it certainly is good to look at.
Aggressively styled like a low-slung racing car, it features an unusually large Mercedes three pointed star on the front grille — for badge snobs.
The exterior is 'mystic white', complemented by an AMG Anthracite leather interior, with two-tone nappa leather sports seats and contrasting top

- It's also safe and comes with dual stage and side airbags for driver and front-seat passenger. It handles well on the road and grips the corners.
- The height-adjustable steering wheel features user-friendly ergonomic controls to change CD tracks or radio stations.
- Decent visibility, even with the roof in place.
- It's cosy. A clever system called 'Airscarf' blows warm air around your neck, perfect for those, like me, who forget their Hermes scarf.
- When the sun comes out, you can transform your metal roofed coupe into a roadster in 22 seconds.
- Nice sound as a result of the high-revving engine, but it hums politely at speed.
- Performance is pleasing from the supercharged 1.8 litre engine, with six-speed manual gearbox and speedtronic cruise control.
Acceleration is a nifty 0 to 62mph in 7.6 seconds with a top speed of 147mph. Yet CO2 emissions are reasonable at 188g/km.
Average fuel consumption is 35.8mpg, rising to 47mpg when cruising, but a less frugal 25mpg around town.
- Impresses the neighbours. It thrilled mine and I soon became the weekend chauffeur.
- Enough boot space for a weekend bag and a generous haul of shopping.
- Basic price of £32,118 includes a host of standard features such as anti-lock ABS brakes, electronic stability program (ESP), anti-skid Acceleration Skid Control, electric windows and Bluetooth.
- For parents who might want to ferry a child, there's an automatic child seat recognition sensor, which works in conjunction with Mercedes-Benz child seats fitted with an electronic transponder.
