Sue's Mercedes SLK AMG diesel auto is a Euro 6, one of the very last to enjoy the very low £35 VED, for a car that can do over !50 mph and 6.6 secs 0 to 62 mph, goes like a stink with 368 ft lbs of torque from a 2.1 litre engine, capable of close to 70 mpg at a constant 70 mph (even with the roof down) with the engine only ticking over at about 1400 revs in 9th at that speed.

Quite a car which Mercedes no longer makes since the SLC finished in 2021. although the diesel variant finished in 2017 and something we will keep as long as possible, as yet there is nothing to compete with its performance, economy and cleaner emissions short of an EV.
