(1,922 posts)Even in your early 30s it isn't an easy one to get out of. Wide door sill, low seat, low roof, and small foot box all works against you. I'll just stick with my Corvette. I can at least get out of it someone gracefully lol. Another funny one is the 6 1/2ft tall valet trying to get into one to park it.
