But the helmet is a symbol of your aggression.
It instills fear faster than actually take them for a drive.

I can't get over how what SEEM to be normal size guys, can't handle the M sport seats I have. I mean I get in and see them totally trash the bolsters as they get in the passenger side. I get in carefully, why can't they?

I'm about to banish guys from not only DRIVING my car, but from RIDING in it.

I agree with z4girl, why do they need to get the door open and leave their foot prints on the nice clean tan interior?

+1, I am a big guy...6' 230lbs and am careful when getting in the car.

1. Turn butt towards the seat bottom.
2. Lower your arse onto the seat (bracing yourself with door handle & doorjam if neccessary or steering wheel if your driving)
3. Turn while lifting your feet OVER the door sills
4. Lean back into seat.

IS THAT SO DIFFICULT?

I am 6'5" and am comfortable on the drivers side, but my knees bang on the passenger side.

What's DL?

You guys are getting it. They try to get in the car with both feet on the ground then swivel in. It doesn't work well in this car you've got to get in sideways.

DL = downlow. I tell them before hand not to expect a smooth ride and lots of luxury.

I only have people complain about how hard it is to get out of the car, not much about the whole experience itself

I have a couple of friends who complain on how I drive (aggressive acceleration and hard on the brakes) but I tell them it's what the car was made to do....plus, I LOVE seeing them reach towards the top looking for a handle to grab on to when i'm approaching the twisties with speed.

If you think the standard seats are hard to get in and out of, you should try it with the Recaros.... reminds me of my old Elise! lol

I have a friend who is my height (about 5'6" or 5'7" i.e. short) and he seemed uncomfortable in my car. However, I'm not sure if it was because of the seats or because he didn't like the idea of two guys riding in a convertible.

The only other person who has even mentioned anything about the seats is a friend of mine who is pregnant. She just said that pretty soon she won't be able to get in or out of my car. No argument with that!

I feel quite sure that she gives most men a 'chubby' so I doubt she feels much of a need to chase them!!!
