seats are a problem
Stopped by my dealer today to check out their first C63. Loved everything about the car (best exhaust note I have heard) except the seats. I was sitting on the seats instead of in them. No part of my back was touching the seat back due to side bolsters being too narrow. I had them adjusted to the maximum width. I am 5' 11" and weigh 225. Wear a 48 to 50 inch coat and a 38 pant. This is a definite deal breaker for me. I was extremely uncomfortable within 5 minutes. If you are above average size I highly recommend you test the seats before ordering the car.

I am 5-10 and 175lb and I thought they were great. I could see how they could be a little tight for someone over 200lb depending on your build.

Well at least they didn't do like Mitsubishi does for the Evo. They give the US larger Recaros cause we are fatter people. JP and UK get the smaller seats. Got to love the fast food.

Not to be mean but... If you're 5' 11 and have a 38 waste you're fat, and not chubby unless somehow your built wide or something. I'm 6' 185 and have a 31/32" waste, lift fairly heavy weights and run, and I NEVER have a problem fitting in any seats even in racecars which are insanely small. Height is usually never the issue nor is back or I would have one- It's your girth- hehe

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
