The Amg sport seats seem tight, are they so?
Checked out the Seats in the CLK63 Black- supposed to be similar to the seats in the C63- Very tight
The local dealership had a CLk63 Black series on display. Luckily I got a chance to sit inside the car to check out the new amg seats. These are the same seats that probably are in the C63 also.
With a light jacket on, the seats were very tight, I used the buttons on the right of the seat to adjust width but even at the widest setting these seats were very confining, not uncomfortable but not much room. Without a jacket the seats were lttle roomy but still were tight
I understand that these seats are better for track use and spirited driving since they hold u tight but for majority of the road use the seats seemed very confining
These look like the same seats in the C63 but not sure if they will be little wider in The C
Owners of CLK63 black , please post a response to my observation and it is just my opinion and I am interested in your observations because the C63 amg will have the same seats ( shape, all powered but not sure if they are the same size )
Thanks very much

I'm 5'11" 172, and they are perfect. I drove four hours across Germany and can only rave about how good they are.
They appear to be the same in seats in the photos, but it looks like the seat bolsters maybe deeper in the CLK63 black.

I seriously doubt these will be the same seats in the C63 since they are almost fully manual and have very little adjustment. I cannot imagine MB putting these in a vehicle that is meant for the general public.
I am 6' 175 lbs and they are probably the best seats I have ever been in for a street car. I have yet to take a long haul in them, but I can tell they would not be tiring at all.

I'm 6'1", weighing 196, and I find the seats fit well. I can see it being a problem at a weight of 210 or so (given the same height).
These seats don't even tip forward for access to the rear, so I can't see them going into anything else. AS

I thought the same thing, but the c63 is a four door and doesn't need rear access. I can see MB addding power fore and aft adjustments. Pictures for various peridicals seem to look like an idential seat. Here's hoping that the CLk 63 black has some distiction for the price over the c63.
