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.

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
