Which Benz??
Hi all
Am new to the forum, at present l have a 02 Sprinter which l use for work purposes and am looking at buying a sedan as a part time driver, just for longer trips with the family (3 daughters - tall for their age) and my better half.
I have a landcruiser at the moment but have always wanted a Benz - always liked them for their quality. Just don't get to use the cruiser for what it's meant for-awesome car for what it is mind you....
Problem is, l am 6'6" and am finding it difficult to fit into any of the ones l have looked at i.e. '98 e320 and a (450sel - mid '80's from memory) - it was something l sat in about 4 months ago. I seem to struggle with the headroom and there doesn't seem to much room in the back width wise and the person sitting in the middle has to sit on a hard area of foam (armrests that fold out for rear passengers) - back seats seem to be made for 2.5 people, maybe l'm just spoiled with the cruiser as it has 3 seperate seats in the back. 105 model.
Are there any members out there with the same problem??
I do like the idea of the w108-w109 models - but am open to ideas. I don't want to spend more than $15000 as it's something that will sit in the shed most of the time.
I have sat in a few older American?Australian cars and have found them to be quite adequate but just prefer the german quality product - l also have a '76 r90/6 Beemer for this reason and it's more comfy for the taller folk.
Thanks, Nick
