DH and I decided to finally splurge on a luxury car and have been looking at MBs.
We took a look at the R class today and I found that I sit pretty low in the driver's seat. I'm only 5 feet tall and even at the highest setting, I still feel pretty low. I was thinking that I may feel this way because I'm so used to sitting up high in my SUV and the R class is designed more like a sedan. DH thinks I will get used to it but I don't know.
I was hoping to get an opinion from someone here who is similar in height to me and drives an R class. What are your thoughts? Did you feel comfortable driving it regardless of your height?
