2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC 250d AMG Line
With a beginning cost of £36,995 – and very little in the method for standard unit – you unquestionably don't purchase the two-seater SLC 250d to streamline. Official efficiency north of 70mpg, £30 yearly VED and a desire for diesel, in any case, imply this is likewise not a customary games auto, either.
You may envision it to be a corner decision, yet an astounding 70% of SLC drivers pick this diesel drop-top – instead of the 2.0-liter SLC 200 and 300 petrol models, or the 3.0-liter twin-turbo SLC 43 AMG. The AMG Line trim adaptation tried here, which summons a robust £4k premium, likewise demonstrates extremely prominent.
So what's the diesel like?
Awful news: it's not the new 2.0-liter four-pot diesel; rather, it's a 201bhp variant of the more established 2.1-liter motor. It's far less refined than its successor, yet regardless it serves up average pace – thanks partially to the motor's 369lb ft, which helps the Mercedes in sprinting from 0-62mph in only 6.6sec.
Dillydallying around town is the point at which the motor and gearbox are most joyful, in any case, with the transmission smoothly rearranging gear-teeth and the engine demonstrating quieted while cruising. Push on somewhat harder and you'll discover the gearbox hesitant to drop down apparatuses in standard Comfort mode, prompting lazy feeling execution, while the undeniably vocal diesel further shortens your eagerness.
Switch into Sport mode and the transmission awakens a bit; this is the upbeat medium mode amongst Comfort and Sport+, which shifts down in the event that you even take a gander at the quickening agent. Considerably more sudden is the stop/begin framework, which cuts the motor when you are creeping along in movement, making it difficult to edge along easily. You're in an ideal situation simply separating it.
Is the rooftop system smooth and snappy?
No. In spite of what you may expect, its operation is uproarious, protesting and person on foot. It has a considerable measure of weight to manage, mind, so it's nothing unexpected that it's somewhat less refined than a delicate top framework – yet it's disillusioning given the cost of the auto.
All things considered, with metal and glass all around – as opposed to the average fabric tent top – the lodge's entirely peaceful with the rooftop up. This remaining parts the case on the off chance that you drop the rooftop, with just a little wind interruption exasperating the lodge at pace.
The ride, be that as it may, is firm and jostling now and again, scratching the Mercedes' qualifications as a cruiser. This could be down to the £995 Dynamic Handling Package fitted to our auto, which includes brought down suspension and versatile damping. In Sport+ mode the suspension battles to retain knocks, with the auto being ejected course by greater undulations, while Comfort mode is better however neglects to do its name equity.
You won't discover much satisfaction in the corners, either. The guiding's unremarkable, and you'll not discover anyplace close to the same level of precision or ride consistence that you would in a Porsche.
So how can it stack up somewhere else?
The collapsing hard top turns great upward and doesn't take up a lot of space in the substantial boot. The inside, in the interim, feels less extravagant than it ought to accomplish at the cost. The materials are adequate, and the low-threw seats sufficiently steady, however the lodge just feels dated. The £2095 discretionary media framework fitted to our auto was likewise not as smooth as most opponent frameworks, either.
It's not in any case much cop on the money front; regularly scheduled installments tip the scales at £379 every month (more than three years with a £5319 store). A manual, front-wheel-drive TT Roadster diesel is only somewhat less expensive at £366 every month – despite the fact that the SLC costs less on the off chance that you purchase the autos inside and out toward the end of the plan
Money investment funds of more than £9,000 are accessible, however, implying that this auto can be purchased inside and out for under £28,000. That swings the parity back a little to support its.
Decision
With a coarse diesel engine under the hood and firm, weak suspension, the SLC neglects to measure up as a games auto or a laid-back cruiser. The value, in the mean time, just makes an already difficult situation even worse; you could get two Mazda MX-5s and still have £5 change for the same expense as the SLC 250d.
Dislike you get much hardware either. Accordingly, you need to love the looks of the SLC or truly esteem the high asserted economy to sprinkle out the best a portion of £40,000 for one.
Remembering the commotion that the diesel engine creates, the less expensive SLC 200 petrol – which can be found from simply over £22,000 with online dealers – could be a more shrewd choice for some convertible fans. At that value, it's less demanding to ignore the SLC's drawbacks.
