I had a set of these. The one thing no one mentioned is getting the seat belts to latch (if you have stock seatbelts) is PIA. Could barely do drivers, and couldn't buckle passengers.
How do you deal with the seatbelts?

Yeah, I will admit that was a bit of a pain. At first it took me a minute or two to get buckled each time but then once I had a little practice I could buckle in very quickly. The best idea would be to find a way to feed it through the harness hole on the inside. I had planned to do that but never got around to it.

Greg, I would love to come by and see how I fit in a Pole Position if you don't mind!

It's extremely easy to get in and out of the car without even touching the bolsters with the pole position. I had one for over a year and it still looked new when I sold it. I'm not a small guy at 6' 230lbs so this should be even easier for you small guys. When you go to climb in put one hand on the console and the other on the door sill and lift yourself into the seat.

Really? I'm a size 32 waist. I've sat in a Bride Vios and that was a snug fit. Would you say that at your size it's a snug fit?

^sure. 36 size waist. My brother is a 38 and he can get in and out of the seat no problem. It actually fits him just fine as well. I think if you are below a 34 size waist you're going to want a tighter seat.
just to let you know im 6'2 235lbs with a 38 waist size and i could fit in a recaro spg but i bought the pole positions coz they are wider for more comfort and i will be driving it a bit more now so this just gives you an idea on how wide this seats are.

I USED to be a 34, lol and i still thought the normal profi a tad tighter than id like. 32 or lower i think is ideal from my experience at least
