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!

2014 E550 4Matic with P1/LED/Pano
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).
