Not recommended due to only fair predicted reliability.
"The SL feels agile despite its considerable size and hefty weight," Consumer Reports said.
The magazine called the SL's steering "well weighted, responsive and direct" and noted that it demonstrated "impressive grip and stability and very high handling limits."
The SLs controls are awkward and confusing, the magazine said, and its cupholders are flimsy.
