If you have any friends that are over 6 feet tall, they will not be able to ride in the back seat of the CLS without severe head tilting. The good thing is, I always get to ride shotgun in my friend's CLS since i'm 6'2.

I would agree on that one. The CLS isn't made for the tallest people.

but regardless on the performance side, with an ECU upgrade, theses cars ROLL!

At 6'3" car was not good. No head room in front seat. I like to drive fairly upright. Probably will go with E63. thanks for the tips.

I also agree E63 all the way I just got my E63 this past week and the car is amazing to say the least. Very comfortable and speed to match more than most cars on the roads today.

I just took my CLS to 175mph today in "Mexico" and it was amazingly stable and smooth. Supposedly it still has some left at that speed but not from me...

Passed an Arkansas State Trooper sitting on the side of the road while slowing down... He never even looked up... Whoda thunk it?

Just took delivery of a white/black E63. Already put 200 miles on her. So far love the car. Good head room up front. Will report back .

I'd go for the E63. Nothing like a stealth looking E-class.

dont know what you guys are smoking but my korean best bud who's 6'6" fits in the cls driver seat much more comfortably than the Eclass.

meaning he doesn't have a spread his fuqin legs so as to not bust his knees by the steering wheel.

cls, no problem. just slide the seat all the way back.

e-class is nice, but way too conservative. i'm not a cls shape fan , bu twould pick it for its more rare status and unique look. it def needs a nice set of 20s slammed with quality aero.

99.9% of the public don't know or care to discern between an e-class and an amg e-class car dude. you see e-classes everywhere. cls is by default been out for much fewer years and they make less of them a year by a long stretch.

did you inhale? i didn't. i swear.

If the car is going to be a daily driver(which it is), I don't want to have the seat half way reclined to sit. That is not comfortable. And not to insult you friend but if he is "really" 6'6" there is no way he fits in the CLS comfortably...sure a 7 footer can fit but they'll be pretty much lying down on the floor!!
