Hi all,

All I can tell you there is not enough room at rear seats and all depends how tall are you.

From the Top Gear video it looks like theres a fair amount back there since Jeremy Clarksons 6' 5" and looks like you can sit behind him

be prepared that if you have anyone of size in the rear seats of any C class that the Driver and or Front Passenger will have to move their seats forward to accommodate. Not bad though.....

Is it true that the rear is similar to the CLS and it's only for two people? That's what I heard. Doesn't matter to me, just less people to drive around.

Does the AMG have a smaller rear seat than the regular C Class? I sit in the back seat of my regular C Class, and it's pretty nice back there. I wouldn't want to sit in the middle though, but two people on the outsides wouldn't have much issue I don't think.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for your input so far but my problem is this. Does this car have a better rear seat than a C200? When my dad aint drivin' that means I will be and my mum (when she is game to come with us) is a hard marker and she'll be sitting in the back seat. If the rear seat is not any good then this may create a problem. I know this is a performance car and really it is a minor issue for most people and no one really gives a ---- but a car as expensive as this should deliver on all fronts. We sat in a C320d (we don't get the C350 in Australia yet) and all was ok bit I'm sure the C63 will be better, I hope that is. The rear climate control system would be cool too! We can just wait until July when the car turns up but like all of you I want an answer to my question now. What does everyone else think? Has anyone sat in the back of a C63 yet?

Happy Easter
Greg

If leg room is that important to you then just get the HSV 427. That thing is big and cheaper than the C63 with 500HP. If they sent that to the states I'd buy it. All we getis the GTS copy in 09 witht he 400HP. GM cant have any car more powerful than the vette for less money.

Hey mrdci,
Leg room is not a problem - I just want to know if a C63 rear seat is a bit more sumptuous compared to a regular C. The W427 is probably going to be more money than a C63 when it released later in the year in Australia and yes it is a big car! C63 pricing around the world is all over the place.

Not sure how the Australian cars are configured, but if you opt for the Seating Package, then the rear seats are covered in Nappa leather which is more luxurious.

Rear seats are really nice...their dimensions are exactly the same on the regular c...however, they are full leather and it really changes the look and feel...hope that helps you guys out, i sat in it myself.

When I drove the C350, my brother who's 6'0 sat behind me and was perfectly comfortable but he complained that it may be a bit tight as far as shoulder room is considered...
