if you look closely at this video you can see the guy awkwardly struggling to get in the back seats and he doesn't even look that tall. And even from the picture you can see how much room there is...none you have to kinda arch forward. This is sad, but still until i get to sit in one personally I'll be in denial for now.

In reality this is what happens when you take a hatchback based platform and make it in to a sedan but a good argument could be said about the styling aspect of it as well. It just all comes down to whether or not your willing to make the sacrifice.

I think that C-pillar gives it away that headroom in the rear wont be the best for a car like this also due to how thick the c-pillar is, we might have problems seeing out of it and checking our blind spots.

That could be a potential issue too where the blind spot can not be seen properly. Did you guys hear anything about this issue on the reviews of the CLA?

They have "blind spot assist", as does the new B Class (which doesn't really need it).

How does the blind spot assist work in the CLA? Is it the same system like most where a light would light up in your side mirrors if the sensors in the blind spot detect a vehicle?

I heard that before where they just worked arouind a coupe design shell. But when it comes down to it of course your going to sacrifice some space for thsoe kinds of curves. Might have to do with trying to achieve such an drag co-efficient.
