Anyone else have to contort themselves to get into their car?

our seat bolsters are all gonna be fucked up in six months' time.

Right upper arm rests on the a pillar with your back to the seat. Lower into the seat. Swing legs in. Repeat in reverse except use your hand on the a pillar to pull you up. I'm 6' and more torso than leg.

Only have problems when parking on an incline. Pain in the ass to hold the door open and climb out.

I have no problems at all. I'm a very short Asian guy.

Good thing the car was designed by very short Asian guys lol.

I'm 6'2 and over 60
It's kind of a controlled fall getting in.. But I'm used to driving sport cars I can't fit into..
Getting out.. I opened the door, lean out and fall to the ground.. Eventually pull my self up until I'm towering over the roof once again..

You are the seat cushion?

The BRZ isn't bad, you just have to work on technique. Daily driving, I keep the seat slid back a couple notches, to make ingress/egress better.

That looks like the 02-04 WRX steering wheel!

i'm 5'2'' and i have to pull the seat forward some....short legs to reach the pedals and all that...so getting out becomes a pain, unless i push the seat all the way back
fortunately i'm skinny, so i weasel myself out.....but if i was twice the weight, i would be a ball, and maybe roll out

I swing the door open then make a dash to get out before it amputates me at the ankles.

Not really having much trouble. I'm 6'3 and... not skinny.

I also make a point of not landing on the bolsters.

To get in, one foot goes on the floor (if my boots are clean) and I just lower myself in. Since all winter I had snow on my boots, I just sat down, kicked off my boots and then swung my legs in?

To get out, there is a small section of rubber on the doorsill. One leg out, lean forward/out, and use right hand on the sill to push up and out. Easy enough. MUCH easier in the summer when my long winter coat and bundled up business clothes aren't constricting me.

my biggest gripe is narrow parking places, so i have to pivot on my ass while still in the car, poke one foot out, then spring my body up in one fluid motion.

i'm 5'11 @ 158lb

i can't imagine a 260lb person doing the same, that sounds like torture.

To get out, wheel all the way in and up, seat all the way back, door all the way open, get out of car. To get in, right foot all the way in, drop into seat, left foot in, close door, move seat up until feet hit pedals, wheel all the way out and about half way down.

I also hate when people part too close.

Wow, you park next to other cars.... I'm not that brave. However, others ALWAYS park next to me, which does make getting back into the car much more difficult without scuffing the door
