Anyone else think the armrests in the CLS are too low?
It's a major complaint of mine. I think these cars are made for shorter...lighter people. My moms 85 Accord is the same way. I can never use the armrest. It just sits too low no matter what position I sit in. The 3 american cars I had, I never had issue with the armrests.

Not sure how tall you are... but I'm one of the shorter, lighter people 
I'm 5'5" and even with the seat height almost all the way up, the armrests seem perfect. I would think by adjusting the height of the seat you could find your comfort level.....

yea definately, the whole center console is too low.
everything about the interior of this car is too low...
maybe they did that to make it seem like there was more headroom since were lacking in that area.
i would prefer if things were raised up a bit like in the Lex GS or the Benz CL...

I'm 5'10" and the armrest seems fine. I like it in the forward position. I would like the seat to be lower. I feel like I'm sitting high in the car.

Too low for me I am 5' 8" or 68" and I can't use the arm rest because it's too damn low...
I hate it why they did not use the armrest of the RL (vertically adjustable)!!! ...:o

OK by me, BUT........
I'm 6' with 34" sleeve length arms and the armrest is perfect, but I do agree that the seat is too high. I end up having to tilt the seat more than I'd like to get it lower, so my head doesn't hit the ceiling. It's still comfortable, but doesn't give me much room to play with. Anyone into seat lowering?

Everything is pretty good except for the exterior mirrors which are too high.
