I get in an out through the hatch. Sometimes if I want to make it easy on myself, I actually open the hatch first.

You should get a roadster... and goggles... yes I see goggles on you.

That would be like Lurch down the highway. You could put a wing on your head for a little extra down force.

All I can say is that I'm 5'9", and the car that fits me perfect. I like a more upright driving position. I've read many times on the forum that people don't like the side mirrors because they obstruct their vision. It all makes sense now, all you tall guys drive around like you are lying down in your bed no wonder the mirrors get in the way.


Finally an advantage of not being tall.

FOr what it's worth my Lexus IS250 was no picnic for tall people either, maybe Japanese cars are just not made for big americans.
