I am 6"4 and a solid 240lb and my buddy's said my E55 would be way too small but it works fine, I could never have a rear passenger behind me, I practically sit in the back seat,LOL I say go for it if you have the room and are comfy.

Last Emperor

E class isnt a small car tho...i think its way bigger then the C

6'5, 230 i fit very comfortably in the c63, but no one over 5'5 will be comfortable behind you b/c of the thickness of the front seat back

I'd like to agree but unless your Shaq O'Neill an E55 is a more desirable car than an S500.

Danny Boy, another member, I believe is 6'7" and from what he has told me he is madly in love with his C63.

I'm 6'5" and I'm completely comfortable in it.

Agreed though that passengers behind you might not be that comfortable, but who cares about them.

Danny_Boy

yeah im 6'7'' and change and im cool in my 63, my left leg goes completely straight between the brake and the foot rest on the left and my right leg is bent a bit (and im all legs). Dont expect for the person behind you 2 b comfortable, but im fine in mine and i have bad knees

Last Emperor

thanks brother.....you just helped make up my mind

Last Emperor

the difference is that an S class sport is $1500 a month, and the c63 is under a grand

6 4, 6 5, 6 6 AND 6 7????

Dayum, we need to start an AMG B-Ball team. We'd clean the BMW guys clocks!!!

Last Emperor

hahahaha.....and we'd all show up on benzes

Looks like I would be the point guard. I did ball for my school teams back in the day.

E-class is 2.7 inches longer and actually 0.39 inches wider, drivers space is the same, it all goes away from the rear.

JamE55

Damn! Is this the tall thread or something? lol

Why not a used E55 or used E63

Last Emperor

because i wanna lease a new car....i dont wanna 2nd hand lease something used

especially an AMG car



aside from that, there are two things that have me leaning towards the C63 over the E63

for one the E is about 35k more, and secondly.....i think that body is ollldddd already...they changing the shape in MY 2010

MB_Forever

There are so many "used" E63s on the market with only 700 miles to 7000 miles that are selling for the same price as a brand new C63 or slightly less. To me, I consider these cars to be like new; they're still babies and fully under warranty. I've personally seen some of them on the dealer's lots, and have found most to be in excellent condition; looks almost brand new.

With the E, you'll get more space, more luxury, more features, more power, etc..... all for same price. But of course, it'll never handle like the C63 or even the Sports Edition C-Class.

Last Emperor

shouldnt an e63 AMG handle waaaay better than the regular C class sport

I'm 6'4" 300 pounds with stalky muscular legs. When I sit down my head and shoulders are at the same level as my 6'8" friend. So my torso is very long, my arms and legs are relatively short. I drive a C class. I used to drive a 350z. I gained a little bit of height and weight so I had to get rid of it. The C class is fine the C63 is even more comfortable because of the ergonomicly bolstered seats. E63 is comfortable as well. CLS and SL and CL are kind of pushing it because of their sweeping rooflines. I could not live with those cars on a daily basis.

Be honest with yourself, Can you live with it everyday? Can you stretch in it? because a test drive is very different than everyday for 3 or 4 years. Be careful don't let lust take over. If you cannot sit up tall in the car in your desired seating position without having your head hit the ceiling then this will effect your spinal structure, since you will always go into a sort of COmpensatory position due to the lack of space. I lived with myt 350z for 4 years. Two of those years I was too large for the car. Believe me you don't want to run any risks.

Last Emperor

thanks for the info bro

good points

i could manage it for the 24 month lease im taking it for

but its good..its not just managable...if it was only just managable i wouldnt take it
