More room for driver
Hi
I am considering purchasing a used E55 (W211), SL55 (R230) or a CL55 from around the 2004 era. Would anybody know which of these cars has the smallest space for the driver and which has the largest space for the driver?
I have driven a 2004 CLK55 but find them just a little too small for me in the drivers seat (yes I am a big guy).
regards,
OZZYAMG

For the CL being a big car, there isn't much head room in the front. I have my seat lowered all the way and probably have an inch of head room. That's seated normally and not "gangsta lean".

Hi
Well after test driving all 3 cars on at least 2 separate occassions I found the E55 the easiest to get in and out of and the E55 to also have the most amount of headroom. As you could imagine I purchased an E55.
