... When we were buying my wife's car, an XF Jaguar, we were talking to the dealer and one of our kids 'found' an Aston Martin Vantage. He was sitting in the driver's seat and I told him to get out. Of course the dealer was saying no, no, no, he is fine.

Then, of course, the dealer is telling me I should sit in it. I'm like, no, no, no, I am not interested. Then my son started on me and then my wife said I should at least sit in in.

I remember, the roof of this thing is like only 49 inches high and I'm 6'2". It was actually surprisingly easy to get into although I wouldn't want to be doing it all the time. It was extremely comfortable for my physique with loads of leg room and the contoured seat adjusted well to my body. (for me a comfortable seat is one of the major priorities in buying a car - ingress & egress is the other) Whilst sitting in the drivers seat I could actually quite easily put my hand on the ground with only a slight lean.

Getting out ? I had to kind or roll out almost on my knees to get up. No way I could do that on a regular basis. It being about a $400K car might be a slight consideration as well. :)

I'm not as ancient as you Roadie but being tallish is not a good match with some super cars.

I'm happy with my big Kraut-mobile which even a Sumo wrestler can easily get in & out of.
