Sports cars and bad knees may be mutually exclusive. After you get your knee replacements, it will get better.

AS to mirrors, yes....use good driving habits.

before actually getting out, i tend to twist to the left a bit, left leg out, and with my right hand, grab onto the outer driver side pillar and pull myself out (almost like a pull-up), is this makes sense.

I am 5'7" and this car fits me like a glove. Perfect seat width, perfect side bolstering, and great over the hood view. Getting in and out would be zero problem for me, but I prefer to not rub on the side bolsters getting in/out so it is more of a graceful side tilt and fall in... Well I like to think of it as graceful
