Every motorist should own a convertible at least once in their life. Does this mean a compromise on comfort and safety simply to experience the thrill of open top motoring? No way. Here are three contenders to set your pulses racing.

The new generation SL-Class comes straight from the Mercedes-Benz dream factory. It’s the ultimate combination of comfort with a design that can be appreciated from any angle and sporty performance that shines throughout the range from the SL 350 to the awesome SL 63 AMG. Everything you could possibly want in a very personal Mercedes. AIRSCARF neck-level heating, Harman Kardon LOGIC7® 510W surround sound system with 10 loudspeakers, including sub-woofer and DOLBY DTS 5.1.

Plus COMAND APS with GPS navigation, 6-DVD changer, MP3 playback and a hard drive to store everything from maps to music. Want something just a touch more modest, with a platinum pedigree nonetheless? Consider the newgeneration SLK.

Be prepared. Once you’re strapped in it could take you anywhere. Sporty good looks and devastating performance have been effortlessly merged to create a stunning roadster that’s ready for anything. Note the dynamic enhancements. The exterior design, standard manual transmission and the ability to open and close the roof in just 22 seconds.

Surely the best of both worlds, a first class ticket to ride. How about sheer elegance in a soft top? The CLK has all the looks with plenty of power available through the various engine choices plus the seven-speed 7G TRONIC transmission which is standard on all but the CLK 200 K.

Are you game enough to throw caution to the winds? Then call us to arrange a test drive. Be warned though, it could just be addictive.
