Climbing in and out keeps me young as does driving the car

S was made for speed and agility not comfort...cant imagine formula 1 cars are easy to get in or out of
if you want comfort get a cadillac

Between the heat from the transmission, the seat that doesn't lean back, and the exit angle- the S2000 is definitely NOT passenger friendly. Getting out today with the top up- I used the center console to lift myself up and backed myself out of the car. It worked pretty well.

I literally explain to anyone getting in how to get in and out by sitting to get in and using legs to stand to get out and NOT sliding their asses on the bolsters and tell them there are door handles on the outside for a reason, to push there to close the door. If my 8 year old son can do it perfectly each time so can a grow adult.

My wife has no problems getting in and out, however a few co-workers I went out to lunch with complained right away about the experience. Funny enough, last night my dad tried to get in the car, I felt so bad for him. He is a big guy so it was very difficult for him to get inside. I was unsure he would be able to...

Pretty sure the door handles on these cars are made for pulling open, not pushing closed.
