I know you tall guys won't like this, but the Crossfire, to me, at 5'6", is the most cramped car I have ever owned. My seat back is within an inch of the rear bulkhead when it is adjusted comfortably. Headroom, obviously is not an issue! My comparisons include a Lotus Europa(close to the same cramped feeling), a Lotus Esprit( sold it to a guy over 6' and 250 #). I have a 62 Mini which is spacious compared to the XF and is only 10' long and seats four adults. Three Fieros are much lower, but have more seat travel, seat can be tilted more and the width is even better. Some taller folks create more headroom in the Fiero by driving with the sunroof open or removed. On the other hand, I find the exterior design to be very pleasing. Good proportions, good stock wheel to fender gap, and a lot more. Not sure how Mercedes lost all the interior room during their design process. I have never looked closely at the Mercedes version, but would assume it has very similar interior dimensions to the XF. I've often wondered how they expected to sell these things to American drivers with the limited seat travel and headroom. Lucky I'm short and skinny!
