2008 | 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

The back seat is very comfortable and provides good headroom and seating support. They fold down to provide additional storage room. My complaint is that it is not S class roomy in the back. Leg and foot room can be limited if sitting behind a tall driver see full Mercedes-Benz E-Class review |
