MB’s of all kinds.
I drove the CLA and was nice but way too small! Reminded me of my old W202 C Class. Just too damn small. The W204 C Class is much larger. Personally I would skip and get into a E Class but if I had to choose go for a C300!

'10 C63
On the simple fact that I hate FWD, C300. And the CLA will likely be too small for you.

2013 C63 Coupe
I traded my E Class Coupe a week ago. It will have the room to accomodate your height. My only suggestion is go for the E550 402HP. It has a V8 biturbo as oppose to the E350 which is a V6 302HP. I had the latter and wasn't pleased so I traded it for a C63.

Also, this is a C63 forum... so you might want to repost it in the CLA (coupe) section. Really check out the C207 forum and take a look at the E coupes. They're pretty sweet.

10 C six trizzle
cla gets way better fuel economy and is alot faster than a c250 or c300. fwd doesnt matter when the comparison can hardly spin the tires in the rain. Ultimately its size is what matters since you have to be sitting in it. Im 5'11", 230lbs and i fit just fine even in the back seat. For the same price you can also get a few extra options too.
