About Mercedes-Benz SLK250
The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 is the only U.S.-market vehicle with the three-pointed star to offer a stick shift. Since buyers select the manual represent only a tiny percentage of SLK customers with merely 4757 new SLKs sold in 2013 and 4353 moved in the first eleven months of 2014. To put the Mercedes-Benz SLK250's position in the loneliest of light, not only is every other Mercedes-Benz sold in America automatic-only but also is the entire high-performance AMG lineup. The manual transmission certainly increases the SLK's driver-engagement factor, and we appreciated the shifter's tight throws and the clutch's precise makeup. The 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo's boost is slow to build, making rev-matched downshifts tricky and lending the powertrain an air of sluggishness.
Hampered by axle hop off the line, the Mercedes-Benz SLK250 nonetheless hit 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and circled our skidpad to the tune of 0.95 g. That zero-to-60 figure is 0.9-second slow compared with the 302-hp SLK350. The Mercedes-Benz SLK250's steering is perfectly weighted and effort builds smoothly as cornering forces increase, although nuanced road feel is left out of the equation. The brakes are reassuring despite a pedal that could be firmer, and the binders halt the little roadster from 70 mph in just 160 feet.
