Could use a little more headroom in rear, but 6'1" & under can be comfortable.
The cabin is perfect and makes you believe what you have just spent to own this beauty is worth every penny.

I Traded 06 Porsche 911S for CLS 63 AMG
Source: Edmunds

...I traded my almost new 2006 Porsche 911S for my new CLS 63 AMG for THREE reasons; 1.
My kids were getting too big for the back seats in the Porsche!
2. The CLS 63 AMG is MUCH quicker than the Porsche! 3. My CLS is a much nicer daily driver than my Porsche -- and it's still a head-turner, especially in black!...

#5
Perfect Balance
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Perfect balance between luxury and sportiness.
Offers choice of sport and comfort modes for both transmission and suspension.
Very refined interior. 2009 navigation system and steering wheel are great improvements over previous model years.
Cons: I have found nothing to dislike about this car.
Overall: This is a great car for someone who likes both luxury and sport vehicles. It does both very well, and neither is compromised. Mercedes Benz has found a perfect balance in this car...

Cls

...The CLS is massively reassuring to drive, with enormous amounts of grip and powerful, progressive brakes.
The diesel engine packs 398lb ft of torque and offers serious mid-range grunt. It's also a head turner and shows that Mercedes can do exciting as well as conservative...

#8
Update: True Exotic Mercedes Benz AMG
Source: Edmunds

...As an update, the fuel economy has averaged now around 19 mpg, which has now fully satisfied me.
Also, the multi-contour air pressured seats are so comfortable that I no longer feel a need for automatic message seats.
We decided to personally test the acceleration time for our car, and it ended up around 0 - 60 mph in 3.8 seconds, which is pretty close to what the dealer said it was...

Why should I also consider these?

The classic, conservative look of the Jaguar XJ might not appeal to those who want to be seen, but its lightweight aluminum construction, perky performance, and good fuel economy are all big positives—as is its interior, which has a uniquely British air in a sea of feel-alike luxury-sedan interiors.

The Infiniti M45 is a little less opulent inside, but it’s also priced much lower.

Its performance is perky, and it feels more like an agile sport sedan than the others.

Plus, its slick blend of high-tech features will win over enthusiasts and tech geeks.

The Lexus LS has V-8 power, an available long-wheelbase version, and a hybrid edition, along with a great ride and almost unbelievable levels of refinement, but its conservative feel throughout isn’t at all the choice for those who want a more spirited experience.

The 2008 Jaguar XJ has a rich interior, good fuel economy, and a light touch, but its dowdy exterior is a major letdown.
