No argument here,,I can't even fit in C4!! 6'2" with fairly long legs and I have to contort to get in the drivers seat of a 4,,and don't even think about the passenger side. Went for a ride in a little buddies C4,,and with the seat all the way back & in full tilt, my head was in the roof and my knees were jammed into the dash! The C5 is light years ahead of the C4. I have more room in my C3 than a C4!! Congrats on the new ride,,,,ENJOY!!!

Congratulations on the step up to a C5. The C4 is a good car, the C5 is a great car.
