Hey you guys um, I am seriously considering to buy a new car and one of my top choices is the new c- class. And I am wondering how is the space in the car. Is there enough, or are you barely making it in and out? I am 6 foot 1. I am wondering if I should really consider buying it or look at something else. Thanks. P.S. Can you please tell me the back seat space as well.

6'4"; here, with no problems....

Jake: I'm taller than you and have no problems whatsoever. Actually, I don't even need to put the seat back all the way. This is rare for me in any car, even an SUV, which I traded in on my C. As far as space goes, I'd say this: I think that calling the C a five passenger car is a slight stretch. It would work for a short trip across town, but I would not want to be one of the three in the back for a long road trip. That said, the backseat space is great. Rex

OK, but order without sunroof.

I am 6'0", but sit up straight and tall and cannot comfortably sit in E-classes, C-classes, 3-or 5-series BMW's or A4's if they have a sunroof.I just ordered a C without sunroof though and it's fine.The A-6 and larger are OK with sunroof IMHO.

I'm 6'1";, and 210 lbs. . .

and I have no problem fitting in the C240, even with the sunroof. Even the back seat is comfortable for me, unless there is another 6 footer in the front seat, then it gets a little tight. However, it is likely that I will never, in the life of the car, ride in the back seat. We rarely have back seat passengers in general, other than our small child.However, if you frequently carry back seat passengers, of varying sizes, I'd say that if you really want them to be comfortable, you should look at a bigger car. The back seat is ok, but not great if back seat room and confort are a major priority for you (i.e. you have clients back there frequently, etc.).: Hey you guys um, I am seriously considering to buy a new car and one of my top choices is the new c- class.
