Given Gorvid's sorry tale of getting in and out of a TVR, could we rate our cars on a 1 to 10 scale so that the aging, injured and "powerfully built" memebers of the forum can have an idea of whether or not our creaky bones, manly curves and heroic stature can be persuaded in, and more importantly out of a vehicle, where a 1 is say some pensioner friendly upright hatchback like a Meriva and 10 is an Exige with a cage and door bars.

Ok, I will go first,

Ford Galaxy - 2007 -> 1 - Dead Easy

Saab 9-3 Aero 2003 -> 3 - Quite low, seats bolstered, mine was slightly lower than standard

Fiat 500 1958 -> 2 - Surprisingly Easy even for a Chunky Monkey like me, arm touches door though

Porsche 944 1989 -> 6 - Very low, seats bolstered, moderate sill
