I have had no problems with people up to about 5'10 in the back seats.

Of course my brother is about 6'2 250lb. He bitch's none stop in any CAR. Of course, he is a farmer, and owns a truck, a ford super cab thing, as his daily driver. The back of the truck has less room then the 8, in my opinion. Anyway, he will not try the back of the 8, stays up front and puts the seat in a reclining position, while whining about how cramped he is.....god forbid he goes on a diet!!

oddly enough, his wife has a c class coupe, and I do not recall any compliants about it from him.

You want to talk overpriced, take a look at that car.
