6 foot 2...

Reading posts about moving the seat for getting in and out of the car. Is the case that every time you get in and out you need to reposition the seat to make this possible?

Being fairly talk that would be a bit of a ball ache.

IMHO it is more of a problem if you are shorter - to reach the pedals my knees are nearly on the dash and so however wide I can open the doors it is very hard for me to swing my right foot up and over the sill with the seat forward.

I'd suggest you book a test drive and see how the car fits your stature and flexibility!

I think Gravel is right, it is more of an issue if you are shorter...I am 5`10" and I never have to move the seat...it is a bit tight to swing your legs past the "A" post, but easy enough. If you were taller and the seat further back, then it would be easier.

Thanks chaps.

LOL - sounds like I need less beer and more yoga as I am your height

I'm 5' 11 and i move the seat every time i get in and out.

I can get in without moving the seat but i'm used to moving it after 9 years in a VX220 so i just continue to it. It's actually stranger for me to get out of my astra and NOT move the seat.

Five six on a good day and move my seat back. Feels normal and I keep moving the works van seat back By mistake.

My 78 year old Mother has just mastered elegant passenger seat entry and exit.

I'm 6 1. Generally push the seat back because it still makes it easier, plus saves wear on the bolster. It really isn't a problem other than I have got so in the habit that I often do it in our other cars automatically.

I'm 5'6" and the furthest forward position is the one I drive in. To get in and out I move the seat back but it's easy enough to move the seat all the way forward to drive. The advantage is that there is room for a (short) passenger behind me.

If I was any shorter (or if my legs were) then I wouldn't be able to drive it properly at all!

i'm 6'2 and never move the seat

6ft and don't move the seat unless in a tight (non evora friendly) space.

I quickly learnt to look for parking spaces on the end of rows, the plus side is I get more exercise as its invariably a longer walk, the downside is I get rained on more.

Silverstone gave me an Elise last week. Getting out of that was many times more difficult

6'3" and never move the seat and also dont have it at its furthest point on the rails. Granted I'll struggle to ever have someone sat behind me...
