Looking at E-class coupe

Looking to trade my ML for 2 door E-class or something similar SLK is another possibility but I'm afraid I'm too big for that little car at 6 feet 210 lbs. So those of you who have experience with it please share here. I'd like to know your 2 cents. Need to lease this one for tax write-off.

You should be fine in an E coupe, the entry/exit is much easier than an E sedan. If you will have passengers in the back seat it will be a bit tough but since you are also putting the SLK on your list I would assume that its not an issue.

2011 E 250 CGI Coupe
Im actually driving one now! 2011 E 250 CGI Blue efficiency Coupe as a loaner while my E sedan is delivered . My loaner has the 5 speed AT, no paddles tho, other than that I LOVE IT! .... As far as interior room is concerned , I agree that shouldn't be much of an issue, however I think It might be a bit cramped in the rear as you push seat 3\4 of the way back!
I also come from a BIG SUV myself (Avalanche) , and love the change so far!

I'm 6'2" and 290lbs and no issues. My only complaint is the lack of headroom....its tight but not unworkable. The headroom in an S5 is better but since I don't plan on tracking the car, getting a helmet on in the car is not a problem (it would be easy in the S5).
