Back to this topic about being hard to get in and out of. The seat can be jacked up considerably, making it much easier to get in and out. You just cant be tall or your head hits the ceiling.

Reeeeeeally? Talking about the passenger seat? My mom is about 5' tall now I think. Probably not as bad as the Miata than. I will say this. She loves the Miata with the top down. Haha.

No, not really. Only the drivers seat can be jacked up. My mother is 64 with cancer and it's my duty to take her to her cancer treatments. My solution? Tell her "wait, and I'll help you get out." Then quickly run to the passenger side and help. Done :-) I get my FRS, she gets out safely.

My grandmother wanted to take me out to dinner on Friday. She's 84 (almost 85), has a hip replacement, a brace on her ankle and walks with a cane. She was able to get in an out with ease and actually likes my car.
