It used to be, the advice was simple: If you buy a sports car, go for the stick shift. And with
the SLK, who could blame you? The 6-speed manual transmission is everything an enthusiast
could ask for, with a crisp short-throw shifter and light, positive action. But then again, the
optional 7-speed automatic is an equally tempting choice. The first 7-speed in the industry,
it gives an unmatched range of ratios for everything from vigorous acceleration to relaxed
cruising. You can tap the shifter left or right to enjoy the manual-style control of Touch Shift.
Or for a burst of power — like a blistering passing move — hold the lever to the left for a second
and the transmission will automatically preselect the optimum gear for acceleration. Which
transmission is right for you? Try them both. You’ll have a great time deciding.
