Mercedes-Benz SL550 2011

This is always exciting to have a exchangeable in the coil when the sun is shining and the high temperature starts to climb. With a Mercedes, you can really enjoy top-down driving even if the temperature is in the 40s thanks to heated seats, good aerodynamics that help push wind around the passengers, and the Airscarf feature. Airscarf is a pair of heat vents at the base of the headrests that can blast warm air on your neck, which really takes the chill off a cold morning or evening.

It's a bit of a device, but the outcomes are quite nice for those who like to drive with the top down as much as possible.The SL550 is a good - looking, highly inspiring status symbol. The SL550 steers and handles well and is plenty fast for a base-engined model, but I was dissatisfied by how much I could feel the chassis flex over rough roads.
