Just curious if anyone that is as vertically gifted has one and how you fit in it especially with a Pano roof? Any feedback would be appreciated.

If you are referring to a 6'5" frame, I *think* it would be do-able, but a bit tight. How well do you fit in the CLK63BS?

Thanks. The CLK63 BS has loads of room. I can't reach the pedals with the seat all the way back and there's plenty of headroom.

If you have a longer-than-average torso for a 6'5" person, then you might start running into issues. Probably best to test-fit at your local MB dealer.

Thanks. Thought of the dealer thing but the two dealers here do not have one with a pano roof.

If you fit into an SL with a regular roof, you should fit into one with a pano roof with no problems!

I am 6'5", and about 230lbs and I fit comfortably in my 2007 SL55 w/ pano AROUND town. If I need to be in a car any longer than 2 hours, the SL won't be my choice. The seat has to be in the perfect position, almost all the way back, but not quite because if the seat is as far back as it will go, the back of the seat has to be too up-right to be comfortable. Hope this helps and good luck!
