For former 204 owners: does the 205 feel big?
Numbers wise the 205 is of course larger but I'm curious how it feels from behind the wheel ?
Does it feel about the same size ? Larger ? Smaller ?
Thank you !

To me it felt bigger, Your seat position is a little higher and the car feels wider too.
there is a ton of more space in the back for my kids. I think its a better design than the w204.
hope that helps

Missing the 204 front seats, but they did take a lot of space from rear legs. Overall I don't think it's noticeable. Center console takes a bit more space in w205.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Sorry I should have been more clear with the question. I'm not referring to interior space but rather the physical outer size of the car while driving. Like when you are driving an escalade the sheer physical dimensions of the car can be felt while driving.
Thanks much

It feels big to me.
In fact, I had to double check the C300 and C63 specs because I could've sworn, when I was given a C300 loaner, it felt smaller. Somehow, the C63 feels bigger than it actually is.
It's only slightly bigger than a Civic sedan. :/

I have owned a w205 c63s for about a year and my wife just traded her w204 c63 for a c450 2 months ago. I went back and forth driving both AMGs all year. Behind the wheel they really do feel the same size.
Back when I had a second generation CTS-V, that felt a lot larger than the w204.
Also the performance seats in both cars are great, but I think the w205 seats are just a bit better.
