I'm 5'11" @ 200

Jeremy Clarkson is 6'5" @ well over 200 lbs... and he didn't complain while testing the SLK55 on TOP GEAR

The seating arrangement is very flexible in Mercs. I am 6' 4" and 185 pounds and I fit fine. The seat dips very low and the steering wheel telescopes quite far; much more variability than my old E46 M3.

I'm 6'5" and 215 pounds and fit better in a SLK than a SL. Each year gets a little harder getting in and out of the low seating position but well worth the effort......
