The R171-generation SLK brought a sharper, more muscular design to Mercedes-Benz's compact roadster line-up, and the 200 Kompressor, with its supercharged four-cylinder producing 161 HP, offered a rewarding balance of performance and everyday usability. Examples fitted with the 6-speed manual gearbox are notably less common than their automatic counterparts, making them particularly appealing to driving enthusiasts.
