Default slk200

hello, im new here. i dont own a mercedes yet but am planning to own one before the year is over. I need a small car thats easy to park and reasonably fuel efficient in stop and go city traffic. Im leaning towards the slk with the smallest engine. it seems that there is a big difference looks wise between the old and new slk and so I would probably go with a new one. any advice for or against? the car will not be seeing a freeway and the top will be up mostly since pollution and rain is terrible where i come from. i drive alone 99% of the time which is why i was thinking of a two seater. my daily commute is 20-30 kilometers per day in the city with lots of traffic lights.

If you're going to drive in just stop-and-go traffic and never take it on the open roads and highways, why waste money on a high-performance, supercharged engine? I would buy a low-compression commuter car that runs on regular gas.
