Just don't get out. Get the passenger to pay for petrol. But I second the Elise comments. I couldn't get in the drivers side of an Elise with the roof on. The roof had to be off before I could manage it. The S2000 is easier than my MR2 Roadster as well, that's even lower. I find left leg and arse at the same time is the way forward though.

I really struggle to get into the passenger seat, but i think that's psychological.... at the Anglesea NWIV track meet when they asked if I had another driver I nearly bit the womans head off with my "NO!" reply...

For the aged this one may be helpful:

Invest in a hospital patient lift and a nurse. Then roof down, straps around the posterior and lift. Easy.

my right-side seat bolster has seen better days due to being lazy getting in and out of the car.

keep meaning to take it to a man to see how much it would be to get it fixed up... but would then have to remember to be careful with it once that was done!

I can't believe this thread... How old/fat/decrepit would you have to be to find getting in a challenge? Or how "Dukes of Hazzard" fixated?

FFS - what next?

"Can someone tell me what the 'Start Engine' button is for?"

or

"My car stopped, it's only 300 miles since I last put fuel in. What is wrong?"

or

"My girlfriend left me, she said I keep asking stupid questions. Am I gay?"

I can't say I have any problems getting into or out of the S2, and I'm on the larger side of 'big boned'
