FRS Entry and Exit Handle?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Does anyone make any kind of Handle that can be added to the interior of an 2015 FRS RS1 that would allow for easier entry and exit from the car.

Lol, I was just thinking the other day. . . This is hardest car I've ever had to get in and out of.

I definitely need an "Oh Shit" handle with a car this fun + a passenger.

it's called a 'door sill' or 'kick panel' on our cars.

Get in/out of a Mosler MT900, and the 86 is a piece of cake. The door sill is about 18" wide on the MT900.

Or a Lotus Elise. Instead of grabbing the door sill I put my hand flat on the ground while I slid my legs in.

I don't think if it as sitting in a car, but wearing it.

Move steering column up if needed, but swing both your legs out and stand up. To get in, turn with your ass facing your seat, sit down, swing your legs in.

To get in, do as liquid said, but lower yourself in by resting your right arm on the A-pillar as you go down. Then swing legs in. To get out, swing legs out, grab A-pillar and B-pillar or seat back if you want extra help

i cant see them one working well for the FRS/BRZ

we dont have a window frame for it to wrap around

86Hiro · 09-16-2015, 09:05 PM

The way I do it is by putting my right hand on the top of the steering wheel, right foot on the center of the floorboard and slowly guiding my butt into the seat. If done properly with correct speed and effort, you will slide in perfectly without rubbing into the bolster of the seat. Like I said, leg muscle and finesse.
