Getting in and out of the Si

[sonitex]

This is the only thing I hate about the Si. When exiting, I first have to reach down for the lever to slide the seat all the way back, otherwise my shoes will always hit the door panel and the speaker grill. When entering the drivers seat (with it all the back) I have to place my right foot all the way in towards the gas pedal, slide my behind well into the seat and finally bring my head inside and lastly my left foot. Otherwise I bang my head. Then I have to move the seat forward to my driving position, reach way back over my shoulder for the seat belt, and try to find the female buckle buried in my coat on my right hip. When I drive, I like to position myself so when my left foot pushes the clutch to the floor, that I still have a little bend in my knee. This helps in shifting by not grinding or not being able make certain it is in gear. I would gladly pay extra (800-1000) for powered seats with memory. I am only 5'6'' but weighing 230 lbs. I can't imagine a taller and bigger person doing these things.

i'm 5'10 210lbs and i have no problem at all getting in & out of my Si. the trick is when getting in just run at ur car and jump in. and getting out just climb out of the sunroof.

[adamhoud]

I'm 6'2 170 lbs and I have no trouble getting in and out, however sometimes i scuff the door with my white shoes.

[Special Ringpop]

I'm 6'0, 180, but only becuase of my long legs do I have issues getting out of the car.

I try my DAMNEST not to touch the god forsaken plastic in this car, for fear it may scratch on me.

God, our plastic panels are like most of the ACLU's clients; you can't even look at them the wrong way without causing some sort of damage.

(Disclaimer: I typically support the ACLU and was just trying to be lighthearted, sooo)

6'1.... If there is a car or wall that keeps me from opening the door fully, I must look like an idiot sliding my feet by the door without scuffing it.
